At this point in his trip to Israel, (click here) President Obama has likely already received his gift from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: a 2,000-year-old stone from Jerusalem embedded with a "gold-coated silicon chip" engraved, in an area of 0.04 square millimeters, with the Israeli and American declarations of independence.
"The etching was done by accelerating charged atoms, called ions, and bombarding them at various points on the surface of the chip," explains Technion-Israeli Institute of Technology, which created the chip at Netanyahu's request. "When an ion beam hits the chip it creates a tiny recess, in this case 20 nanometers deep." Oh. Okay.
We don't know what Obama brought for Netanyahu, but for the love of God, don't let it be a DVD boxed set.
Having a unique ethnicity to the region of the Middle East does not mean the Shi'ites can have a dangerous capacity to their sovereign nations. They cannot give excuse to their fears to provide real death to others. There is no threat to Iran. Never once, not even in words, has Israel openly threatened Iran. It has been Iran with President Ahmadinejad that have expressed antisemitism and a goal of negating Israel as a country which created these circumstances.

President Ahmadinejad congratulated (click here) the nation on the advent of Nowrouz (marking the start of the Iranian New Year), and stated that this year would be full of blessings and honor for the Iranian nation.
"The year 1392 (March 2013-March 2014) will be a year full of honor and blessing and the trend of the country's all-out progress will continue with more speed this year," Ahmadinejad said.
"The Iranian nation's efforts will continue until enemies' complete disappointment and failure and until achieving the dreamed peaks and materializing global justice," President Ahmadinejad noted.
He added that the Iranian nation, which has had the lion share in the creation of civilization and culture in the world, could promote its position and grandeur in the last (Iranian) year....
In an odd manner, Ahmadinejad has tried to say we are the Israel of the Shi'ites. A favored nation to an exclusive ethnicity. But, that approach is causing PROBLEMS in its foreign policies. It is Iran's foreign policy to remove the nation of Israel from the Middle East. That idea, that language belonged in global conversations a century ago and not today. There was no Israel. The people were primarily without a homeland so much as their birth right. And the Jewish people have always been a brilliant and benevolent people. I don't know that you can look into their history and find a violent people, even the Romans hated them while they were enslaved. The only grievance of any Jewish person or people was their steadfast in their love of a single and benevolent god.
The Jewish people have suffered enough during the past 100 years to guarantee they will never be gone from the face of Earth. While the Shi'ites suffered in Iraq, Iran was never toyed with by anyone. Exploited for oil by The West under the Shah, quite possibly. But at no time in Iranian modern history were there ever threatened not to exist by The West or by Israel. As to the aggressions between Sunnis and Shi'ites that has been going for hundreds of years. The West and Israel have nothing to do with that.
So, the USA stands with Israel. Absolutely. But, that does not mean the USA stands against any other nation, including Iran, unless they are going to demand deaths of others and the destruction of nations. That is incomprehensible. The President of Iran has used the idea of destroying Israel as a political volley and overseen progress to that end within the country. Israel has never acted against Iran, but, defensively. There isn't anything else to say. Iran has moved in decisive ways to secure a method to destroy Israel as the politics within that nation has demanded.
No.
