Obama: I will visit Israel only after they want to make peace (Peace with whom ? Barbarians? - Please we do not want you in Israel ever. We do not like you and Israelis do not trust you)Obama told a journalist that he will visit Israel,
only after they are serious at moving the peace process forward, according to a video interview uploaded to the internet.
President Obama defended his decision not to pay a visit to Israel during his first term as president, noting that there are many other countries that he did not have the opportunity to visit in person.
"The truth of the matter is that there are a number of countries I have not visited,

"I visited Israel a few months before I became president," Obama said.
He also said he wanted to have something to show for his work on the peace process in the Middle East before the Jewish state gets another visit.
"Given how important I think that the situation in the Middle East is, and our partnership with Israel, which is stronger than it ever was, when I go to Israel, I want to ensure that they actually move something forward,"

Bee's Note:
The hypocrisy of Obama never ceases to amaze me! Let me see how many ways we could respond to Obama's reasons for not visiting Israel:
1. You bowed to the Saudi King, knowing that most of the high-jackers/terrorists on 9/11 came from this nation. Why did you visit a nation that breeds Islamic terrorists?
2. You then visited Egypt - gave a speech in Cairo that could have choked a horse on the lies about USA's history, while setting up the Muslim Brotherhood to "take over" a country that had been at peace with both Israel and the USA for over 30 years.(see article below)**
3. You visited many Islamic countries, including Turkey, while ignoring America's only ally and friend in the Middle East - Israel. That, Mr. Obama, is of your choosing - a choice that undermined both Israel and the United States.
4. And who can forget the USA drone that landed safely in Iran?! Here's what one Israeli had to say about that drone and Obama's refusal to destroy it (sent to me today - October 29, 2012): He mentions that our drone was "shot down", but later reports demonstrated that the dron landed - did not crash) and was not shot down! Would the Obama intelligence like to explain that one?! Fox news reported on it and did not receive an acceptable excuse for not destroying the drone after it landed safely in Iran. Obama asked for it back (ha ha ha ha ha ha) .... which shows his incompetance and understanding of Iran's agenda! (Or, was it simply handed over to Iran? If so, that is treason!
Head of the Defence Committee of Parliament in Tehran said that the UAV, (that Hizbullah sent to IsraelSucceeded to transmit images from "sensitive bases" in Israel before being shot down by the IDF., And said,That the photos were transferred via the Internet. Yesterday Iranian defense minister said that the UAV was built on the model of the American aircraft that was shot down in Iran. As a result of the overthrow of the American plane in Iran, Iran has innovative technology,And holds Israel's sensitive photographs, according to Iran's publications.(U.S. had to destroy the spy plane, which was shot down in Iran, and for some reason did not know how to do it)
5. Benghazi .. another failed policy which led to the deaths of 4 Americans serving our country. The response from the White House is - no response! Investigations could discover another instance of treason. Nixon lied, said he was "not a crook" - no one died, but he was impeached. Obama lies, and to-date, almost two months later, Americans still await a response from the White House.
6. Listen to John McCain's comments on Obama's failed foreign policies:
John McCain Attacks Obama's 'Failed Leadership' On Foreign Policy (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | By Nick Wing Posted: 10/22/2012 8:36 pm EDT Updated: 10/22/2012 8:41 pm EDT
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) launched into a stinging critique of President Barack Obama's foreign policy on behalf of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday, just hours ahead of the third and final presidential debate.
Speaking to reporters about the issue of the night, McCain quickly went on the offensive, blasting the president's "failed leadership" in the global arena.
"Look at our relations with Russia. Four years and no progress with Iran on nuclear weapons, strained relations with Israel, al Qaeda coming back strongly in Iraq, things deteriorating in Afghanistan," McCain said, according to AFP. "The foreign policy debate is about leadership, how the president can answer for our failed leadership throughout the world."
The former GOP presidential candidate went on to slam Obama for his perceived inaction in Syria, where seemingly unending violence between rebels and the Bashar al-Assad regime has left more than 34,000 people dead.
"I think he has projected a position of weakness and a position of a lack of leadership, as he calls it: leading from behind. How do you justify over 30,000 people being massacred in Syria, and I've heard him speak up on their behalf once? Once," McCain said, according to the Guardian. "What has this administration done? Absolutely nothing. And, just as many of us predicted, it's beginning to spill over into Lebanon, into Jordan, into the other countries in the region and we are on the verge of a serious crisis."
Seeking to chip away at what many perceive as the apex of Obama's first-term foreign policy achievements, McCain also attempted to play down the president's role in the mission to take out al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Building on his earlier comments, the Republican also suggested that al Qaeda was again gaining power, not losing it as Obama has claimed.
"I think that all Americans give the president credit for the elimination of OBL," McCain said, according to BuzzFeed. "And then he should take credit for the abject failure throughout the Middle East. Al Qaeda is resurgent throughout Iraq, Afghanistan, all of North Africa, Libya, Mali. They’re returning because we’re weak."
The senator went on to decry what he explained as a broader lack of "class," and "desperate" tone exhibited by Obama during the second presidential debate last week.
McCain later hit the administration's handling of the attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya that claimed the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
"It's ridiculous and outrageous to blame it on intelligence sources when facts are obvious before your very eyes," McCain said in an interview with CNN. "So it's ridiculous. It's an attempt to put the blame -- first they threw Hillary under the bus. Now I guess they're going to throw the CIA under the bus."
A report in the Washington Post over the weekend found that that the CIA had believed the attack was linked to an anti-Islam film. Obama and other administration officials used this explanation in addressing the fallout from the incident, but subsequent reports that the siege was actually a planned attack by militants have led Republicans to argue that the president and other officials deliberately misled the public about the nature of the incident.
McCain remained unconvinced that the administration's differing answers on the episode were consequences of changing intelligence. He said Obama was responsible for an "unacceptable screw-up" and scoffed at the idea that there could have been any honest confusion among various officials tasked with discussing the attack.
