The problem between the White House and House of Representatives SpeakerJohn Boehner is not the problem of Israel or Netanyahu. How should the leader of a small country be responsible for the policy of Obama who, during his State of the Union Address in the Congress seems to have made egregious exaggerations by portraying that all the American problems have been resolved.

Netanyahu should not avoid the presentation in front of the United States Congress, which in my view represents all the American people, Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

The New York Times is following the left wing and I believe that the writers of this newspaper receive some hints from the Obama Administration as usual. I agree that Obama could disturb whatever Israel is about to do. He did it before, when he was a guest of Israel and incited the youth against the government, as well as when he sided with Qatar and Turkey which were helping the terrorist Hamas during the war, instead of helping Israel, which is an ally and a friend, and represents the Jewish majority in the world. After all, Netanyahu is doing his best to avoid another catastrophe, as Iran keeps saying they will destroy Israel. Our president didn’t even react to this threat. Alas we have seen that all the “Arab Spring” revolutions, which were strongly supported by the Obama Administration, have failed.

Most recently, in reference to Netanyahu’s visit to the United States in February, the Obama Administration reacted childishly, and in my view, if Obama will not receive Netanyahu, he will show a lack of generosity by denying him the freedom of expression, the American Democracy is so proud of.

Now Obama is going to Saudi Arabia for the King's funeral to show his respect. He should reassure the new king that he no longer intends to side with Iran, which is supporting the Shiite rebels in Yemen, who just overthrew the Western-friendly regime and are an imminent threat to Sunni Saudi Arabia.
