In USA-Israeli relations it's the tail that wags the dog. Israel would like to draw the USA into a war with Iran.
Obama was addressing an Israeli pressure group when he made that speech, but was also talking to the Jewish voters there in the USA. There's an election coming soon. Just now, he'll say what he thinks they want to hear.

Israel is already deep into the conflict with its assassinations on Iran's nuclear scientists. It is obvious to any outside observer they don't believe in jaw jaw otherwise the Palestian problem would have been solved years ago.

Every USA president knows that if they do not fulfill Israel's ambitions then there would be a Monica Lewinsky somewhere around the corner and that is the only one out of few problems they could face.

What has Iran done wrong - well they have publicly stated that they will wipe Israel off the face of the earth - and as regards to Palestinian lands - there has never been a sovereign state of Palestine, Palestinians were nomads - the lands originally belonged to Syria Jordan etc. When the conflict is resolved between Israel and the Palestinians then there might be a state of Palestine.

for brendan to digest...
specialists such as Juan Cole of the University of Michigan and Arash Norouzi of the Mossadegh Project pointed out that the original statement in Persian did not say that Israel should be wiped from the map, but instead that it would collapse.

Cole said this week that in the 1980s Khomeini gave a speech in which he said in Persian “Een rezhim-i eshghalgar-i Quds bayad az sahneh-i ruzgar mahv shaved.” This means, “This occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the arena of time.” But then anonymous wire service translators rendered Khomeini as saying that Israel “must be wiped off the face of the map,” which Cole and Nourouzi say is inaccurate.
