Israelis worried that USA’s approach to Ukraine leaves them vulnerable to Iran, etc.

Israel’s Defense Minister is warning that Iran is a threat and that it should see that it cannot really rely on the USA because of Ukraine/Crimea:

Israel’s defense chief says U.S. projecting weakness

Reuters – March 18, 2014

Israel’s defense minister has accused the United States of projecting weakness internationally and said Israel could not rely on its main ally to take the lead in confronting Iranover its nuclear program.Moshe Yaalon, whose…His latest comments, confirmed by an Israeli official who was present at lecture Yaalon delivered at Tel Aviv University on Monday, displayed deep disappointment with U.S. President Barack Obama’s handling of burning world issues.”We had thought it would be the United States that would lead the campaign against Iran,” said Yaalon, who pointed to the Ukraine crisis as an example of Washington “showing weakness”…

Yaalon said that although “people know Iran cheats”, the United States and other nations chose to negotiate with Tehran on restricting activities they fear are aimed at developing atomic arms.

“Therefore, on this matter, we have to behave as though we have nobody to look out for us but ourselves,” Yaalon said, echoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s veiled threats of unilateral military action against Iran if diplomacy fails.

“Unfortunately, when it comes to negotiating at a Persian bazaar, the Iranians are better,” said Yaalon, a former armed forces chief and a hawkish member of Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party…

“Comfortable Westerners prefer to put off confrontation, if possible to next year or the next leadership term. But in the end, it will blow up,” Yaalon said. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/18/us-israel-usa-idUSBREA2H0SV20140318

‘Israel, Prepare For Armageddon And Forget US Help’

EMPact America founder warns of Iran nuclear threat, says under Obama US has turned into an ‘enemy of Israel.’…

Henry Schwartz, a prominent entrepreneur and EMPact America founder, spoke with Arutz Sheva following his organization’s National Security Action Summit last week. The purpose of the conference was to save America from a “dire” situation, revealed Schwartz…Israel must find new alliances and not rely on the US, warned Schwartz, saying “America is not going to be here to take care of Israel; it can’t take care of itself.”

A new Cold War

On other fronts, Schwartz warned “the Cold War is not over, it’s restarted,” pointing to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.

Schwartz criticized US President Barack Obama’s hesitancy, warning that as a result Russia was likely to move on other Baltic states and eastern European countries. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/18/us-israel-usa-idUSBREA2H0SV20140318

Many, and not just in Israel, are seeing the USA’s response to Russia regarding Crimea and Ukraine as evidence that they cannot rely on the USA.

That being said, Israel’s Prime Minister believes that Iran is a threat. He believes Iran absolutely is developing nuclear weapons and that it wants to use them against Israel. Iran, itself, has repeatedly stated that it wants to eliminate the nation of Israel. Iran has also made it clear that it wants to rule the Arab peoples and all Islam. Iran has also been one of many nations knowingly persecuting people that profess Christ. It has military ambitions and wants to rule all of the Middle East and Islamic world.

Despite its ambitions, Iran will not succeed in eliminating Israel or ruling over all the Arabs. Yet, Iran is a threat that should be taken seriously. But many are wondering how much they can count on the military of the USA.

I believe that the USA will eventually do something that is intended to show the world it can rely on the USA’s military. But, that will not change the fact that the USA has been proven to be a fickle, and often undependable, ally (Hosni Mubarak and others come to mind).
