THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Israeli Relations Unravel As Iran is on the verge of gaining approval for its nuclear endeavors, our relationship with Israel has never been worse. We are living in dangerous times. We are witnessing two things happen at what couldn't be a worse time.   We have the negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.  By all accounts, it seems inevitable that Iran will eventually be able to enrich uranium at unchecked levels, paving the way for it to have nuclear weapons with the blessing of the United States.   Yesterday it was revealed by John Kerry that Iran has an illicit nuclear facility that it has failed to disclose in what has been identified as a "parallel nuclear program."  No kidding!  So the Iranians are lying, secretly continuing to develop nuclear capabilities while we trip over ourselves to mollify them and sign a deal. We are setting up Israel to be the victim of, what could potentially be, a modern day Holocaust.  Iran's leaders has vowed to wipe Israel off the map, a threat not to be taken lightly.   In a campaign speech this week, Netanyahu said, "I respect the White House and the president of the United States.  But on such a critical topic that could determine whether we exist or not, it is my duty to do everything to prevent this great danger to the state of Israel." It's almost unfathomable.  But as bad as that may be, juxtapose this with our current relationship with Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu.  To call it sour would be an understatement.   According to a former Israeli national security adviser, Eytan Gilboa, the relationship has "never been so terrible as it is today.  Nobody even tries to use any diplomatic words." John Kerry Isn't Helping In recent days we've have Susan Rice and John Kerry speak out about Netanyahu.   Susan Rice called Netanyahu's decision to speak before Congress “destructive to the fabric” of the US-Israeli relationship.  Gilboa described this comment as “unprecedented.” John Kerry went as far as to question Netanyahu's judgement in his opposition to Iran's nuclear program.  Kerry made this assessment based on Netanyahu's support of the War in Iraq, which ironically enough, Kerry himself voted for. These aren't just anonymous sources or pundits.  We have the president's national security advisor and the Secretary of State publicly making these comments! Even the New York Times describes the relationship between the Obama administration and Netanyahu as “mutual enmity.” John Kerry once said that there is “no daylight” between the United States and Israel.  Now the chasm is so wide that we are being blinded by the sun of contempt, which is ultimately dangerous for Israel's security and thus our own.
