Have a nice Yom Kippur; Obama snubs Netanyahu on Iran: "My decisions" says he, er, He, " - only what’s right for America"

DEBKAfile  Obama's "comments removed the last hopes Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak may have entertained of cooperation with the US for curtailing Iran’s nuclear designs by military force.
"The US president was crystal clear: By saying he will be ruled solely by American security interests, he showed them that they too were being left to be guided by Israel’s security interests. So forget about red lines for America, he was telling Netanyahu.
"His blunt verging-on-contemptuous dismissal of Israel’s concerns as “noise out there” was not much different from the way Iran’s leaders referred to the Jewish state."


....DEBKAfile’s Jerusalem sources report that Netanyahu is now seriously considering calling off his trip to New York for a speech to the UN General Assembly scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 27. He realizes that by challenging US policy from the UN platform, he would lay himself open to criticism for gratuitous provocation of the president and interference in America’s election campaign weeks before a presidential election.

'THE FORWARD' GOES BACKWARD  Pamela Geller writes: "Good piece over at The Jerusalem Post criticizing the uber-left "Forward" for its biased attacks against our pro-Israel ad." 

"We need The Forward not to go backward" Yisrael Medad, Jerusalem Post
 Over at the left-wing - or is it liberal? - New York Jewish radical weekly, The Forward, where some friends of mine get published,Andrea Palatnik has a report on the ads in the subway stations zeroing in on Jihad. Pamela Geller, also a friend, is pushing back.   It's been termed the "battle of the billboards".

Islamic supremacist journalist Mona Eltahawy was arrested today after assaulting a defender of freedom who caught her in the act of vandalizing one of the pro-Israel ads shown above in the New York Subway Stations.
