Israel is willing to be flexible towards the United States following a crisis that erupted between the two countries during Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel earlier this month, but will not give up on some core issues.

A source at the Prime Minister’s Office said Friday Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agrees to carry out goodwill gestures towards the Palestinians, but not in Jerusalem.

Netanyahu reportedly may agree, among other things to release Fatah prisoners as a gesture to the Palestinian Authority.

Earlier this week, Netanyahu reiterated that his government’s policy in Jerusalem is no different than the policy of previous Israeli governments.

Also Friday, US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who at President Barack Obama’s behest gave Netanyahu a 43 minute dressing-down over the phone last week, told BBC that pressure against Israel paid off, and that Jerusalem will now be willing to compromise.

So I guess he’s going to vote yes on Obamacare?

Israel needs to tell Obama to p*ss up a rope,
they should bomb Iran and then let Obama try
and pull his nuts out of the fire.

How about this for a gesture? They don’t fire any rockets over the fence, and we don’t move the fence forward. They don’t attack us, and we don’t seize a couple square miles in retribution.

How about confidence building from the palestinians. They have never agreed to anything other than the destruction of Israel. If I were Netanyahu, I would tell noboma to eat caca and die. Also, since biden delayed his entrance to supper with Bibi for 90 minutes, I would make sure that I was two hours late to visit ‘the one’.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is a gentleman and a leader of Israel, he would never stoop so low as to act like Joe Biden. Netanyahu is a class act, our now so called leaders are trash.

I was always proud of President Bush because he too, was a class act.

When representing this great nation one should never do a Biden.
