Former Envoys Say Obama’s ‘Childish’ Attacks on Israel ‘Cause Significant Strategic Harm’
The Algemeiner ^ | Monday, March 23. 2015 | David Daoud

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 Israel’s elections were announced on Tuesday revealing that Netanyahu’s 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 Netanyahu’s 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 president’s 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 Obama’s 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.”

Not “childish” so much... Satanic, perhaps.

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.

This was obvious since January 2009. People just lived in denial. The POTUS is a Muslim Brotherhood, Trojan Horse, Manchurian Candidate official. His genuine hatred for Israel was clear way back in 2009 for those who wanted to see it, especially the Jewish community who are STILL in denial. Any person paying attention during these last 6 years is not surprised. What is suprising is the wrath and venom, never before seen. Israel will have to attack Iran alone but if she does, there's a real possibility that Obama will attempt to shoot IAF planes down. Then the pioneering Israelis will have MANY surprises in store for Obama’s degraded, demoralized and lacking forces. Let's hope it never comes down to that, after all, Israel is the only real ally in that area.
