Incentive Discount Program Continuing Through Farmington Hills sees Obama's trip as an opportunity to strengthen already strong U.S.-Israeli ties. "I am very pleased that President Obama is carrying through on his commitment to visit Israel during his second term in office he said. "The president's commitment to Israel's security has been a key element of his foreign policy. "While at times I would have preferred to see our president and Bibi share a close personal relation- ship, the key fact is that the stra- tegic and historical base for strong U.S. support for Israel as a prime U.S. foreign policy interest remains unshakable and will be strength- ened by the visit. "This visit comes after a year dur- ing which the Obama administration provided Israel tremendous support against an aggressive anti-Israel agenda in the U.N., complete and unconditional backing during a dif- ficult military operation in Gaza, increased financial and military sup- port to ensure Israel's continued mil- itary edge and, finally, demonstrated strong and steadfast commitment for tough sanctions against Iran. "There is no better statement to show how strong is U.S. support for Israel against the Iranian threats than a personal visit by the president to Israel." Eugene Greenstein, president of the Zionist Organization of America- Michigan Region, said the president's focus should be on the Iranian nuclear threat. "One would hope that the purpose of President Obama's trip to Israel is to demonstrate solidarity with Israel and deliver a message to Iran that a nuclear-capable Iran is unaccept- able he said. "The issue of peace is not about land; it is about ideology. Hopefully, the president has learned that from his past four years. The P.A. maps show one Palestine, not an Israel and a Palestine. President Abbas still names roads and squares after sui- cide bombers and attackers. "llamas still calls for the destruc- tion of Israel and the Jewish people in Article 7 of its charter and the words of its leaders. The chaos in Syria, Egypt and the rest of the Middle East has nothing to do with Israel and the Palestinians. "Hopefully, the president will focus on the threats from Iran to world peace and the danger posed by the Syrian chemical and biological weapons" April 1, 2013 Enroll today!
