A “Sister Souljah moment” in American politics occurs when a politician chooses to loudly rebuke a traditional ally to show they’re not beholden.
The Biden dust-up is such a moment.
Israelis are right to be insulted by the unequal and coerced treatment they have received at the hands of the Obama Administration. President Obama’sintentions are public and on the record. His Administration’s hostility toward the Jewish State is embedded in their agenda.
No amount of hand wringing will change the facts. No amount of “Hasbara” will deflect their enmity. No amount of “explaining” will alter the Administration’s animosity or change their intentions.

Ping!
Correct me if I am wrong, but was not the name “Maccabees” is in Hebrew means “hammer”? Thanks!
The derivation is either Aramaic, "maqqaba" Aramaic for "hammer", but it is more likely an acronym for "Mi chamocha ba'elim Y***", which means "Who is like unto thee among the mighty, O Lord!"
Why? So far all Obama has done is talk and we now know that 0 likes to talk loudly and carry a very small stick. Israel can ignore him, talk nicey nice and he'll probably do nothing. In which case Israel wins this little diplomatic tete-a-tete. I'm still wondering if 0 is just putting distance between the US and Israel because he knows Israel has made a decision about Iran. ("I had no warning of this. I'm shocked, shocked to hear that Israel.......")
Would not surprise me if that happens.
Would that mean we can quit sending money?
Well at least someone realizes this is not just a political game
No, he is doing the right thing, nothing.
Any action or reaction will be interpreted as bad by some.
His best course is to sit on his hands and let the Joker be shown to be a fool.
......Would that mean we can quit sending money?.....
Bibi knows his strength is in Congress and Obama can be politely ignored
So, because of Obama, more folks hate us and we continue to pay them for the privelege.
Got it.
Couldn't they hate us for free?
No, there is no hatred involved.
The problem is an overly ambitious President and his failing agenda. He is the only one with the problem.
His ambition is not a function of foreign aid to Israel.
I’m not willing to be drawn into a debate on foreign aid.

Forget our government. Point blank.
Jews are our older cousins. I agree that they should fight these Islamists in the US Government. The citizens of the US support Israel totally. The anti Israel voices are the vocal and nutty minority.
Well the people running this Country sure don’t support Israel. And they are the nutbags too.
