Two former Israeli ambassadors to the United States, Michael Oren and Danny Ayalon, have responded to the criticism directed by the Obama Administration against Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling the comments a strategic threat to Israel, and intentionally intended to deepen the rift with the Jewish state.
Immediately after the results of Israels elections were announced on Tuesday revealing that Netanyahus Likud had won 30 seats and looked set to form the next government, the Obama Administration began harshly criticizing the Prime Minister and Israel. White House and State Department spokesmen said that Netanyahus alleged reversal on a two-state solution, would be followed by a re-evaluation of the US-Israel relationship, and the United States defense of Israel at the United Nations. The Administration also harshly criticized comments that Netanyahu had made about Israeli Arabs coming out in droves to vote for his opponents.
Ayalon said, what is Obama doing? Instead of acting in a measured way and understanding that at stake is a mutual interest in maintaining good relations, he slapped Netanyahu in the face. This is inappropriate behavior and unprecedented in international relations.
Ayalon added that the American presidents actions will lead to a great crisis with Israel, and that Obama is behaving childishly, and not like the leader of a great power ought to behave. He alleged that Obamas actions were motivated by a personal desire to get back at Netanyahu for his speech to Congress and over the tensions that have arisen between him and the Prime Minister.

So first the 2014 mid-terms, and now another resounding rebuke of Barack Obama from the people of Israel.
Because Obama copped an attitude over the Netanyahu speech to Congress, he exacerbated the political fallout.
Now we have a possible alliance of Egypt, Jordan, and the Saudis with Israel, against Iran (and Obama).
The “loser” label is slowly, but surely, being pasted on his forehead.
Unfortunately, many will think the answer is yes.
