Jonathan Tobin writes in Commentary that the chances of an attack against Iran by Israel are decreasing and that Israel has asked for – but not yet received from the U.S. – a set of “red lines” that will trigger the U.S. to implement the military option that President Obama has always insisted remains on the table. Tobin writes:
The latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency is eroding any lingering doubts about Iran’s intentions or the progress it has made toward realizing its dangerous ambition. But with the number of centrifuges being doubled and now stored in a possibly invulnerable underground facility, the Israelis are rightly worried that time is running out fast before it will be too late to stop Iran.


What do you think?

Unless obama is voted out of office, sadly Israel is on it’s own and as was proven in the democratic platform vote…this is the party that is emboldened to vote down God and Israel.
8:20 am
I agree with tessie! This is a blame administration that wants Israel to act alone so it can blame Israel for not waiting long enough on diplomacy! they’ve taken no accountability yet, only blame othe
7:58 pm
WE THE PEOPLE OF America always will support ISRAEL…The 535 plus ONE elected to represent WE THE PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTED POLITICAL SUICIDE AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED. We can’t lose since their actions brought GOD & PRAYER back to USA
2:23 pm
my thoughts ? PRAY AND BELIEVE AND THEN STEP TO ONE SIDE AND LET GOD BE GOD… OBAMA IS NOT BIGGER THAN THE GOD WHO CREATED HIM. HE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO VOTE OR LEGISLATE HIM OUT OF THE HEARTS OF THOSE OF US THAT BELIEVE IN GOD. THERE ARE SO MANY OF US. GIVE, GIVE, GIVE TO ISRAEL AND PRAY, PRAY, PRAY FOR THEM UNTILL GOD MAKES HIS MOVE….GOD BLESS ISRAEL…. MANY OF US IN THE USA ARE STANDING WITH YOU.
2:13 am
What concerns me is that God allowed Babylon to take Israel captive for they had turned their back on God. I think this is also the case for the U.S. I know that there are many Christians in the U.S., but since 1960′s many have turned to the Muslim faith. It is as Obama said, “We are no longer a Christian nation”.We are headed toward the end times just as it is written.
1:59 pm
I think that Israel should wait until after the election to make their decision. I pray that Mitt Romney will win. Israel is better off dealing with Mitt Romeny than Obama
12:43 pm
I think God will not only decide but already has.
2:17 am
Tom, I agree with you. Those that are blinded to the fact that God’s wrath has already started punishing this nation. The worse is yet to come.
God’s word says it will be worse in the last days than this world has ever seen.
12:42 am
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT ISRAEL, Dear Israelites, remeber the battle is God, you shall stand still to see God defeating your
enemies,, hold your peace then. Amen
10:54 pm
O Israel how I pray for you !!!! I don’t believe President Obama will lift a hand to help you. I pray that I am wrong. Iran with a bomb is not a sight any country should want to see. Whole lot of mean people there. There are some beautiful people there though. People that love God and their fellow neighbors. Won’t be long before Jesus returns, how I long for that day !!!!
8:27 pm
The Holy Bible is full of history where Israel has been through gloomy days many times before. Therefore they must seek and do (wait or act) what thus said the LORD (period).
5:42 pm
I am a firm believer that God will fight for Israel, He said do not by afraid because I am Who I am is with you. I think that Israel government should consult God in all they want to do and that’s it
4:39 pm
I hope that Israel will stop waiting for the U.S. to do anything for her. It’s not going to happen, no matter who is president of the U.S, who in power is an antisemite, not an antisemite, etc.
“A king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse [otherwise known as modern weapons]is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death, and keep them alive in famine.”
2:29 pm
What would happen if God made Himself real to Obama? One miracle already happened, President Obama recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The president’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.
8:00 am
2008 obama was for jerusalem as the capital of Israel but changed the next day.now his platform was against Israel but changed the next day to raise jewish $$ and win jewish votes in ohio and florida.
11:33 am
PRAY FOR ISRAEL, PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL NOT STAND WITH ISRAEL, BUT,WILL A NEW PRESIDENT? THE BIBLE SAYS ISRAEL BE SURROUNDED BY HER ENEMIES IN THE LAST DAYS. ONLY GOD WILL PROTECT HER, BUT SHE WILL WIN.
11:29 am
Israel Lord yeshua’s chosen nation Fear not repeat the history of King David killed Golliath(iran) without any approval from US(rep of King Saul)as God approved it as said You are His apple of His eye
11:25 am
o’iSRAEL LORD YESHUA’S CHOSEN NATION -FEAR NOT AS ALNIGHTY ON YOUR SIDE ONLY AS YOU ARE APPLE OF HIS EYES KILL IRAN AS KING DAVID(REP ISRAEL) KILLED GOLIATH(rep of iran) which approved by our Lord.
11:17 am
Israel-Lord Yeshua’s Chosen generation Jew as King David(today’s Israel) killed Goliath(today’s Iran) written in the Holy Book of God do the same without any consulation from USA(today’s King Saul).
5:49 am
The Bible promises that once the Jewish people return to Zion the land will never be destroyed again. Our God and theirs will defend Isreal against attack and it will be super natural. We must rest in that. We have been given the story ending. It is glorious,with Jesus in the center.
5:05 am
the only way we can help is to vote the Godless party out. my prayers are with you.
8:13 am
The Godless Party? And which one would that be? I don’t think the Lord has set any of us up to judge our brother. We may have different views about what is godly and what is not godly.
9:09 am
Israel is not asleep, vowed long ago that they would never let their guard down as if they were sleeping. Our God will help them because they are His chosen ones. God knows who will stand by His people and I want to be counted as one of these.
12:08 am
What Israel may do is wait until Iran declares it has the atom bomb. Then the whole game becomes a nuclear war in which Iran cannot win if the element of surprise is used by Israel cunningly.
11:46 pm
You Know what??? Barack Obama, will let time run out for Israel to hit Iran. I do not know, in my wildest dreams, what fantasyland that reporters get the silly notion that Barack Obama, is going to do anything or make a decision about giving his backing to Israel or anybody else, in regard to an attack on Iran, or anybody else, for that matter. He says, as he did in his speech Thursday night at the DNC, that our backing is solidly behind Israel and must stay that way, but, how many times has he come to your aid in anything? How many times has he tried to make it hard on Mr. Netanyahu, and put pressure on Israel, when they have had a perfect right to do what they wanted to do. He is not about to do anything to involve himself in anything that he considers to be a problem to what he hopes will be his reelection. I am afraid that Israel is eventually going to have to bite the bullet and do what they have to do in their own good time, because President Obama, considers your country a loose cannon and he will not touch anything that he considers to be a political problem for him, even while trying to tell the world what a great ally you are and how much he supports you. I realize that this does not make any sense to any normal thinking person, but sadly, that is the way things are at the moment.
11:12 pm
Israel must take all necessary measures to protect herself and leave ALL OPTIONS open. I do think that our current admin is on the side of Israel. Israel and U.S. are allies. U.S. needs Israel also !
9:10 pm
Shalom from America.May you find peace this evening Defending your borders an the citizens of Israel is your right,not ours.God be you,an America.We need all the help we can get! We’ll pray .
8:45 pm
Well look at it this way if Iran get’s the bomb and uses it and Israel respond’s with an all out exchange then the rest of the world will wake up to the fact that the muslim’s don’t want any kind of peace, of course Iran will be a city of glass and Israel will most likely be too. Maybe the world need’s to see that so it won’t happen in the future
8:43 pm
That’s why we should hire only Americans to be president of our country. The war with Iran is all biblical. God of Abraham is in charge!! Lets vote not to alter the constitution and protect it.
8:09 pm
The Jews also thought President Roosevelt would save them during WWII. Six million died instead.
6:52 pm
Millions and millions are praying for the peace of Jerusalem!!!
6:40 pm
too strong? Truth is strong!
6:39 pm
Israel must make her own decision.Obama is not only Muslim but he is an Islamic Muslim.He is not only an enemy of Israel but also an enemy of The United States.He certainly isn’t a Christian.
5:17 pm
I hope that the Israeli gov. doesn’t expect the O.administration to attack Iran. No matter what Iran does, O certainly won’t budge. He doesn’t hate Israel, he just doesn’t give a d..n.
4:36 pm
To say that Obama is not to be trusted would be redundant.We are all aware of that.Yet,”AS IT IS WRITTEN” Trust i the Lord with all of your heart.He will guide your every step. His word stands forever
4:23 pm
Israel should make their own decisions about how to defend themselves. President Obama does not even have the right, according to the U.S. Constitution, to be President of the United States. Do not rely on him for anything. The God of Israel has spoken, and will accomplish His
purposes. Seek His guidance, and you will do the right thing.
3:58 pm
I say nay nay go and get them. God will take care of the Jewish people
3:49 pm
God’s word is the final authority. God’s word tells and teaches us of the past we were not alive to experience and of the future. Was His word wrong about the past? It seems that archeology and true science continue to prove His historical accounts given to us as true! So, does He speak of Israel being destroyed in this way at this time? Are there not still prophecies needing fulfillment? A nuclear attack is severely destructive. I am sorry that there is so much anxiety in Israel and amongst her leaders at this time. It is a frightful situation. It reminds me of David before Goliath. These nations seem like GIANT GOLIATH and the Philistines to me. I get so weary of reading and hearing about all of the hatred in the nations surrounding Israel and I can only imagine that if I were in Israel’s shoes right now I might be shaking too. However, if God is truly God, and His covenant is now with the whole earth, including Israel, through His Son Jesus, then there is still a God abiding with Israel. In 1 Sam. 17:45-47, David declares boldly, “You come to me with sword and spear and javelin; but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This very day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head; and I will give the dead bodies of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air and to the wild animals of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the Lord does not save by sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hand.” This reminds me of what is written in Ezekiel’s prophey often talked about these days in 38 and 39. The Lord states, “I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; I will turn you around and put hooks into your jaws, and I will lead you out…..In the latter days I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I display my holiness before their eyes.” Anyway, the whole thing is just too long to fully quote here, but praise our God, so many of us have bibles to read it in. That is a mighty miracle in and of itself! So, the battle is the Lord’s! As for me, I am praying and trusting in the Lord to act. If Israel can take down the walls of Jericho by marching around the city and blowing trumpets, then my song of pure praise, a new song unto the Lord is enough. I did just that and continue to do just that. Like Miriam after the Lord drown the mighty armies of Egypt in the Red Sea. Like Mary when she sang forth declaring about Jesus in her womb and the mightiness of His reign. The Lord will triumph and keep Israel and win the hearts of her people unto Himself once again. “O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet, in thy dark street shineth, the everlasting light. The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.” We can sing old songs too. I don’t know how, but God will triumph just as He promised. Israel, trust in and put your hope in the Lord! Seek His face and His counsel; He will guide you and defend you.
3:06 pm
I think Isreal needs to make it’s own decision…they are in danger and certainly have that right. I would not count on Obama for support…I personally don’t think he will stand with Isreal..so sad.
3:27 pm
I thoroughly agree. He wants the Jewish vote, so he will appease all he can until after election, then WATCH OUT Israel and watch out USA for all the he intends to do to implement his socialist agenda! In the meantime, may his heart be brought under conviction for all of the evil things that he has thus far perpetrated upon our beloved America…
8:16 am
Margaret-Obama won’t even stand for America. NOT even for his children. he will try to stop our army Generals, untill its too late. Then he will take airforce one and leave America and GO underground in egypt.Americans need to turn back to GOD.
2:16 pm
Be careful of the President and the zionest movement too. God bLess.
2:10 pm
My thoughts to this is insane. I can’t do anything in my power, but I know that with prayer and supplication all things are possible through our Lord Jesus Christ. We will be praying for Israel. My thoughts and prayers go to all of you. God Bless Israel. May there be peace and unity in this land. In the Strong Name of Jesus.
3:30 pm
AMEM! I totally agree with your comment…
1:47 pm
I am frightened for Isreal, I am frightened for the US. We are linked together. Oh that we had stopped this before it had gone so far.
1:45 pm
Obama is a liar and hates Israel. You can’t wait for him. He has his own agenda. Israel must act independently.
10:45 pm
I said this too – obama hates Israel and won’t help her – and my comment wasn’t posted. You are correct, his agenda is to ruin America. He cares nothing for Israel. He bows to the saudi king.
8:00 am
Obama hates anything about GOD. Yes HE is a muslim who worships Satan, who calls himself ALLAH. The allah who they talk about is the spirit which posessed Mahammed. Which was satan. who always wanted to be A god. he is not GOD. GOD is love.muhammed is not.
11:13 am
You are RIGHT, Richard….that is EXACTLY what is going on and people need to wake up and SEE that fact. In the “end of days”, “good becomes evil, and evil becomes good”. Islam is the only so called “religion” in the world that doesn’t preach truth and LOVE.
1:42 pm
I am in prayer for Isreal concerning Iran. I really believe that with the HOLY GOD of the universe on your side you can’t lose whether you decide to attack or not attack.
8:06 am
I don’t understand why Israel keeps trying to negotiate with those devils.The devils have never kept a truse. America is the only country who does not know that obama is a muslim. ALL other countries know he is muslim.
12:50 pm
Do you really think Obama is going to do this? He will not. He is a Muslim. He will not attack Iran.
11:10 am
Yes. I do agree with Elsie.Infact every chrisitan should agree.Obamam is muslim. he is anti Israel.He wont support Israel. I am thoroughly disappointed that we elected him as President. Let us not make the same mistake again.May our Yahweh open our eyes & hearts to choose the man who is there for Israel.I pray Benjamin Netanayahu have the spirit of Joshua to lead the Apple of God’s eye with courage. we stand for & with Israel.God will also bless America.
12:15 pm
The U.S. current administration is not to be trusted. If doubling the number of centrifuges is not crossing the “red line,” then what is? Israel should not trust anyone outside of their government because of previous lies of the U.S. president. God Bless you, Mary
10:16 am
Absolutely correct, Mary. Israel should not trust anyone outside of Israel’s government, especially Obama and his cronies. He is trying to downsize the U. S. If a so-called leader will do that to his own country, what will he do to its allies? He is a Muslim sympathizer at the least if not a full-fledged Muslim.
12:05 pm
Pray for Romney to win! He is for defending Israel and the U.S. Obama has broken promises to the U.S. and was brought up as a Muslim and strong anti-capitalist/colonist.
7:24 am
President Obama has never shown himself to be a muslim and stated repeatedly he’s a Christian despite his childhood so called upbringing I was raised a catholic but im not one now.Obama will never let Iran become a nuclear power,he took out Binladen but I guess that doesent count?he will do what has to be done but at what price world war 111? more terrorist attacks on our soil?Its the president who needs our prayers not the tax cheater.
12:23 pm
Annee, you need our prayers that your eyes will be opened.
May God help you in Jesus Christ’s name.
11:31 am
The US and Israel should make joint efforts to neutralize Iran’s nuclear facilities at once and repeatedly until they are all inoperable. And Iran’s president should be neutralized as well.
6:46 pm
I say yes to this and as so many million are praying for the peace of Jerusalem, so am I! lets just watch as our Heavenly Father protects Israel supernaturally!!! Amen…
