Gee, ya think the “Senior Officials in the white house”… might be referring to DENIS MCDONOUGH / VALERIE JARRETT / SAMANTHA POWERS ? I mean that “desperate and weak” line is classic McDonough.
Remember too, Samantha Power, as U.N. Ambassador, is a cabinet level position in the Obama administration – and she hates Israel perhaps even more than ValJar.   Oh that Trifecta-of-Hate crew is going to be all kinds of defrosted if Netanyahu pokes back. You better believe it.    How dare a jew point fingers back at our Dear Leader.
The duo of McDonough and Jarrett are counting on this Iran deal to distract people from noticing their doctor has locked his/her door.   This White House will not allow themselves to be undermined – and absolutely not by Netanyahu.   This is a deal you cannot refuse.
WASHINGTON DC – Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu’s remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
Israeli television Channel 10quoted the officials as saying “His pronouncements show a lack of self-confidence,” in an unusually harsh personal attack on Netanyahu. “We are not perturbed by his vocal opposition.” (more…)

In a subtle speech outlining Israel’s position on the EU/Obama acquiescence to Iran Netanyahu vows to keep the light.

It’s not coincidental Netanyahu chose this specific passage from a Jewish children’s song given the former U.S. position (Reagan Doctrine) of light retention amid the dark forces of global evil.    In essence Israel is saying they will not fall victim to the political correctness inherent in failing to talk about true motives and objectives of Iran, while simultaneously saying someone must stand up to say there are natural laws of right and wrong.
It is the elimination of true principles behind what is good, right and just, while obfuscating and falling victim to political correctness which allows evil to thrive.    As we have often said – failing to accept the existence of evil enterprise does not protect you from it.  Regardless how that enterprise manifests.
The United States used to hold such bold recognitions.  However, under the leftward and self-serving immoral slide, the lines between right and wrong, good and bad, freedom and serfdom, have been blurred.

ISRAEL – Melding the Hanukkah holiday and foreign affairs, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu solemnly vowed to serve as a “light unto the nations” and act against Iran’s nuclear program should diplomacy fail Thursday night. (more…)

IRAN – “What has been released by the website of the White House as a fact sheet is a one-sided interpretation of the agreed text in Geneva and some of the explanations and words in the sheet contradict the text of the Joint Plan of Action (the title of the Iran-powers deal), and this fact sheet has unfortunately been translated and released in the name of the Geneva agreement by certain media, which is not true,” Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said on Tuesday.

George Will:  “Iran will now definitely get the [atomic] bomb” !

CAIRO — Israeli officials knew they were being kept in the dark as the U.S. conducted secret talks with Iran, and the knowledge that the White House was “going behind Israel’s back” was one of the key sources of tension between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, according to a senior Israeli minister and other Israeli officials.

Twelve hours after President Obama announces a John Kerry brokered deal with Iran the international community responds.

Update:  Here’s announcement:

No doubt Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett are putting the final touches and approvals together for POTUS to obfuscate in a propaganda speech.   They, along with the Cintons and Samantha Powers, will need to construct the verbiage carefully to hide their intention of undermining the Progressive Fabian arch-nemesis, Israel.   Choosing to announce at 10:30 on football night lets them slip in a few s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s !

GENEVA — Iran and six major powers agreed early Sunday on an historic deal that freezes key parts of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for temporary relief on some economic sanctions, diplomats confirmed.
The deal was reached after four days of marathon bargaining and an 11th-hour intervention by U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry and other foreign ministers from Europe, Russia and China. the sources said.
The agreement, sealed at 3 a.m. signing ceremony in Geneva’s Palace of Nations, requires Iran to halt or scale back parts of it nuclear infrastructure, the first such pause in more than a decade. (more…)

(Via Pam Geller) It is astounding. Consider how monumental the blunders of the jihadi stooge in the White House for an alliance of such divergent powers to align. Nothing happens for decades, then decades happen in a day.
Israel is working with the Saudis and  France is considering the option of aligning with the Middle East powers – Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt – which challenge President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry’s race for détente with Tehran.

Report: “Israel and Saudi Arabia will work together in case of an Iran attack” Jerusalem Online, November 17, 2013 (thanks to Zeidi);

Mossad agents met with senior level Saudi officials to formulate a joint attack on Iran, in case the talks between the world powers and Iran fail, the Sunday Times reported. “The Saudis are decisive in confronting Iran and the Israelis are ready to provide the help they need,” a senior level official told the newspaper.

Two, not-so-dissimilar stories.   To a semi-engaged electorate these might seem unrelated.   To a Lo-Fo  it’s “huh”?   But to others the visible “Big Picture” ideology is self-evident:  My way or DIE.
John Kerry, and White House Spokesperson Jay Carney, warns congress if they oppose a deal with Iran it will lead to WAR. 
Vis-a-vi if you don’t agree with our decision to allow Iran to engage in nuclear production, our only option is to ATTACK them to stop it:
WASHINGTON DC – The White House Tuesday warned lawmakers mulling tougher sanctions on Iran that thwarting US diplomacy could leave President Barack Obama little option but to use military force against Tehran’s nuclear program.
“The American people do not want a march to war,” spokesman Jay Carney said, in a significant stiffening of US rhetoric towards opponents of a proposed interim agreement with Tehran on Capitol Hill.  (read more)

Meanwhile – in Ohio, a 62-year-old Director of Animal Rights, Sandra Lertzman, decided to commit suicide.   It’s not what she did, but how she did it. (more…)

A structurally subtle sentence set into a presser given by U.S. Secretary John Kerry to the press in the Middle East, yes.   But ask yourself this:  when was the last time a Secretary of State needed to tell the world, his boss, The President of The United States, was honest?
The irony is, and what the media will not report, this Kerry statement was given at the exact same time a series of Russian ships are docking in Egypt; as discussions begin between the Egyptian and Russian government’s for a Russian military base to be located in Egypt.    Egypt is looking for a “DEPENDABLE” ally.
Abu Dhabi: US Secretary of State John Kerry says no deal with Iran is better than a bad deal. And any deal with Iran would not allow them to own a nuclear weapon.
He was addressing a joint press conference with Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Foreign Minister.

“US President Obama is a man of his word,” Kerry said. “He said in his speech before the UN that the US will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon and this is our policy to which we are committed.”

Kerry said the US has a strategic partnership with the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other partners in the region.  (read more)

Fitting this comes out today – considering we posted this earlier.
(Via WeaselZippers)  Apparently the NSA has been bugging the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, since 2002. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, President Barack Obama told Merkel on Saturday that he would have stopped the bugging had he known about it.

However, Bild is reporting that not only did Obama know about the bugging, but that he himself personally ok’d it in 2010, and stepped up surveillance on Merkel, calling for a “comprehensive dossier” on her.  According to Bild:  (continue reading)
