 Algemeiner: On Iran and Obama, How Bibi will Decide – Exclusive Interview with Eyal Gabbai, Part 1
"Up until six months ago, Eyal Gabbai was the Director-General of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. Working with the Prime Minister for up to 18 hours a day, he was a key member of Netanyahu’s inner circle."
Excerpts of the interview follow:

DE:  Do you think it’s possible that the Israelis will try something with Iran, and the Americans will actually try and prevent it once it’s actually happening?

EG: I don’t think so.

DE: They’ll just state their position until Israel acts, and then when it acts they will be supportive?

EG: I think they’ll urge Israel not to act, because they think it’s too early, and they’ll actually even, not threaten Israel, but certainly make it clear that there will be a price to pay if Israel doesn’t coordinate.

DE:  They want to know about it?

EG: Not just know; they want to be able to veto it.

But at the end of the day Netanyahu cannot let Obama veto the attack on Iran, and if the attack will take place – as always, the question will be the outcome.  Assuming that Israel was able to destroy everything forever, then I think we’ll get a lot of support from the United States.

DE:  Public support from Obama or just behind the scenes?

EG: No, both public and political figures and probably the President himself. On the other hand, if it will be a failure…..

G. Murphy Donovan:  Barack Obama has never been to Israel   "American policy is, at once, a flawed assumption and a cultural insult. Granting Muslim stability a higher priority than Israeli survival is the assumption; and elevating Muslim culture to parity with Jews or Christians is the insult.  Moral equivalence is the problem, not the solution to epidemic political cowardice in the non-Muslim world. Israel has no good reasons, by virtue of history or evidence, to accept any American assurances, especially from an Obama administration."

The irony of Purim today:  God used Queen Esther to save the Jews from massacre by the now-Iranians.  "Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of Adar, which is usually in March. The 13th of Adar is the day that Haman chose for the extermination of the Jews, and the day that the Jews battled their enemies for their lives. On the day afterwards, the 14th, they celebrated their survival. In cities that were walled in the time of Joshua, Purim is celebrated on the 15th of the month, because the book of Esther says that in Shushan (a walled city), deliverance from the massacre was not complete until the next day. The 15th is referred to as Shushan Purim."
