Cohen has been in Israel's spy agency since 1983 ...the guy is well "seasoned"..... reportedly played a major role in Israel's joint efforts with the U.S. to destroy Iran's nuclear program."
WTF, Bibi is the only ally we have in the Middle-East, calling him a muslim lover?
Sheesh!
Why would Bibi criticize what Trump said? In fact, why did he weigh in at all? He has no ally in Obama, so no idea why he would speak out. Bad move on his part. Trump is Israel’s friend.
Net lives with this Muslim crap every day.
Don't worry. I'm sure they're talking to each other behind closed doors....or perhaps not....because there are spies everywhere.
Stupid of Bibi to say ANYTHING.

Someone wrote the other day that Bibi’s comments were twisted by the media, so I’m not sure anymore if Bibi really did criticize him or not. I will have to look more closely into it.
Trump still hasn’t figured out he’s playing in a different park and the game is entirely different ,so are the plays. He needs to get out of bashing mode and at least try to be Presidential when it calls for that....doesn’t look like he can go to that place very easily.
It’s really annoying watching someone who might be President sit down and whine like a kid in a school yard who can’t handle that not everyone can be bullied.
Here is IMO the answer. Speaking the truth about Islam as a national discussion that could start a probably needed WW3.
Notice no politician since Bush after 9-11 has spoken the truth about Islam straight out.
This is a game IMO and was a bad strategy. Since 9/11 Islam said game on and have been growing their populations, moved everywhere with a role and have threatened to conquer by the womb. So we have been allowing the opposing antagonists to grow their armies and maybe helped facilitate it.
Bibi knows there is no desire in the Western world right now to fully go for a WW3, so though he may agree 100% with Trump’s views on immigrant Muslims he does not share a desire to appear siding with Donald when there is even the slightest chance of that appearing to be messing with our national elections or wanting to start a bigger fight with Radicals right now with little world support.
I wonder if it came down to Trump’s security said no way, no how, going anywhere near the middle east right now?
Bibi, if you want your Muslims, you can keep your Muslims... period.
Can’t believe that....oh well
Trump has known BB for years. He can pick up the phone and call him anytime. BB has to live surrounded by 2 billion outraged Muslims. He has to pick his words carefully especially now that OFail has deserted him and the UN wants to recognize a Fakestinian State without Israel’s approval. Scary times for Israel. Would not surprise me if Trump and Net have already spoken and agreed to this postponement.
“I have decided to postpone my trip “
Good for him. Israel is surrounded by hostile muslims that hate their guts, and Netanyahu is playing “Let’s pretend”?
Trump should wait until he is in the WH and a cordial invitation is extended by Israel, without kibitzing.
I imagine Putin thought it was stupid too, for what it’s worth.
Ramifications happen.
I agree that criticizing Bibi as a Muslim lover is misplaced. But Bibi should realize that after 8 years of Obama Trump would be a vast, vast improvement. Then again by the time the next President is elected, Israel could be firmly in the Russian camp and aligned, albeit secretly, with the moderate arab states looking to quash extremism as embodied by the Daesh caliphate.
Israel doesn’t allow unfettered immigration from the Muslim world. Why should we?
