No Israel At Top Counter Terror Conference!

Top security experts in Israel are very worried about the Obama Administration’s attitude to radical Muslim governments in the region and by Obama’s willingness to freeze Israel out of two
high level terror conferences.
Though Israel broke the back of Arab suicide terror attacks in 2002 reducing them to near zero, and knows more about dealing with Islamic terror than any country on the planet, but still the Obama administration did not invite Israel to an important counter-terror conference held in Turkey last month, nor to a similar parley in Madrid last week; placating the Islamist government of Turkey, which itself supports the Hamas terror group in Gaza!

President Obama has said that he considers Turkish leader Recep Erdogan a model of moderation, while top Obama aides have said they think Egypt’s Brotherhood, with Morsi now President of Egypt, is also moderate. Even though Morsi has has repeatedly said ‘I want an Islamic caliphate (empire) whose capital is Jerusalem.’ And what does the Obama administration say? ‘Don’t believe him. He doesn’t really mean it.’ Well, he does mean it,” observed Maj. Gen. (Res.) Amos Gilad, in a briefing to students in Herzliya, Israel.
The US administration was so concerned about offending Turkey, that Under-Secretary of State Maria Otero, one of the top State Department officials, specifically did not even mention Israel among the countries that have been victims to terror attacks!
“Israel has been one of the key counterterrorism allies of the United States for 30 years,” observed Dr. Dore Gold, Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations in an interview with The Algemeiner. “Its absence from an American-sponsored counter-terror conference raises serious questions that need to be answered,” said Dr. Gold, an expert on the Persian Gulf region who was born and educated in the US.
