Mr. Obama went to Washington, then to Cairo. But even as his likely campaign-trail foe and conservatives hammer him over his chilly relations with Israel, experts say Mr. Obama won't be going to Jerusalem any time soon. 

Strategy, politics, and precedent show why Air Force One won't be landing this year on Israeli soil. Read more here.

@ DEETOO in SC -

Eyeopener #1: U.S. spies on Israel. U.S. spies on all countries that it has "interests" in.

Eyeopener #2: Israel (Jewish population 5 Million) is surrounded by 1 billion muslims almost all of whom want all

the Jews DEAD and Israel DEAD as the Jewish state. Who does not want peace?

Eyeopener #3: Nuclear Iran is lead by a fanatic dictator and a bunch of crazy mullahs. You don't think that Israel

has the right to defend itself against nuclear Iran?

Eyeopener #4: Israel is the only democracy in the Middile East and does not really have to prove anything. Not even that it is "tryly" (sic!) a friend of the

U.S. and least of all, friend of Obama's.

Now the question: DEETOO - Did you actually read the article?

What has Israel done for this country or the President that would entice him to drop his duties as president to run over to Israel to have pointless talks with a nation that spies on us and has no interest in peace......Nothing I can see.

Stay home Mr. President. When Israel is willing to work with us, then you should reach out to them. Until then - let them do the reaching out....and remove the nukes from Israel.

Either no nukes in the Middle East, or allow them all to have them. WE have to stop favoring a nation that does not support our best interests. When they prove they tryly are our friends, then OK.
