Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu thanked US President Barack Obama for his continued opposition to the Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas' statehood gambit at the United Nations, saying the president's stance was "a badge of honor."
"I want to thank you, Mr. President, for standing with Israel and supporting peace through direct negotiations," Netanyahu said. "We both agree this is the only way to achieve peace. We both agree that Palestinians and the Israelis should sit down together and negotiate an agreement of mutual recognition and security. I think this is the only way to get to a stable and durable peace."
Netanyahu did not directly challenge Obama's assertion that "the Palestinians deserve a state," but did dissent by saying PA arabs were unwilling to give Israel in peace - and that the bid "will not succeed."
"You’ve also made it clear that the Palestinians deserve a state, but it’s a state that has to make that peace with Israel, and therefore their attempt to shortcut this process, not negotiate peace – that attempt to get state membership in the United Nations will not succeed. I think the Palestinians want to achieve a state in the international community, but they’re not prepared yet to give peace to Israel in return," Netanyahu said.

What did you expect Netanyahu to say on Obummers home turf? He has class and is respectful unlike the Loser and Chief.
Gotta get those Jewish voters (and contributors) back on the Obama plantation.
It's all about recovering the NYC/NY/Jewish vote.
Netanyahu that pain you have in your back is a knife, you can’t trust the traitor in chief.
Obama’s stance will tick off the Jew-hating liberals who adore the Palis.
He’s giving him a soundbite he can use, though.
but Obama doesn’t really want to use it
This is Netanyahu’s way of sticking it in Obamas rear. The Arab world now sees Obama as an Israeli agent.
Don’t worry. Bibi is playing the game. He knows Hussein is not a friend. This is the equivalent of a Senator saying “My good friend from California.....” Even if they hate each other.
Netanyahu ought to be thankful for the fact we’ve entered a presidential election cycle and this guy’s numbers are in the tank. He has no affection for Israel.

Please pray for this child and the people of Israel.
But he will, for Taqiya sake. This assures him New York and white Christians throughout the nation, unless of course the economy continues to stink on ice. Think end game. He needs to win the election, and after that, nobody can stop him.
Damn them. This is not the first time.
He didn’t have to say anything. Badge of honor was a bit over the top.
And this will lead to more negotiations, and more concessions, and more houses bulldozed to show we really want piece. Check out the whole statement.
Look for a clip of this comment by Netanyahu to show up in Obama campaign commercials next year.
political currency.
Look for more “negotiations,” too.
It is really payback to Obama’s hardcore leftists and is the equivalent in rubbing their noses in the dirt with his victory. Obama is just the ‘hanky’....I think it’s funny. Payback’s a bitch, ain’t it Obama....BeBe got you all in trouble with your kook base, huh?
