The Middle East situation concerning Israel and Iran are the two countries which have the greatest effect on activities in that area. Iran is out to obtain nuclear weapons regardless of the stories they constantly put out to the public. Israel is the target of Iran and with their own words they want to annihilate them, to "push Israel into the sea".  The main hope of Iran is to re-create the Caliphate so they can rule with power and to do that they must show the world through their power (nuclear). Iran is the major concern of Israel at this point in time.

Certain voices within Germany have recently given what could be considered support for the idea of Israel being able to carry out a possible attack on the nuclear facilities of Iran should they decide to do so. Israel is in for major trouble again. It has not been that long ago when the world said this would not happen again. The world would not allow the Jews to be persecuted ever again. Yet quite often these days we hear talk of forcing the Jews into the sea, wiping them from the face of the Earth. The UN is currently  filled with those who hate Israel and who hate the US only slightly less.

I have no idea why the US has decided our friendship with Israel is not as important now.  For some reason Obama has not shown the same closeness for this tiny nation and has not stood shoulder to shoulder with their Prime Minister to show the world we stand with Israel No this President has not shown they same close ties to Israel as have past Presidents. Israel will now be forced to seek friendships from those who do not have their best interest at heart. Some of the friendship they seek will come from Germany the same country that murdered 6 million Jews in the past.  In the end Israel is going to be double crossed and East Jerusalem will be captured. That is the beginning of troubles never before seen.
