JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's under fire because he won't compromise the safety of Israel.
"When there is pressure on Israel to give up on its security, the easiest thing is to give up," Arutz Sheva quoted Netanyahu's response at the Knesset.
"As prime minister, I stand for the security of Israel," he continued. "The life of every single citizen and soldier matters to me, and I am not prepared to make comprises that will endanger our country."
"Our interests are not on the minds of those who attack us -- or me -- personally," he said. "The attack on me comes because I defend the State of Israel and despite all the attacks, I will continue to defend our country and the citizens of Israel."
He added that he respects and values Israel's relations with the United States.
"The strategic alliance between the countries continues and will continue," he said.
Those were his first public remarks after The Atlantic quoted a senior Obama administration official calling Netanyahu a word that starts with "chicken."
The official told The Atlantic the good thing about Netanyahu was that he was afraid to launch wars, but the bad thing was he won't reach an accommodation with the Palestinian Authority or Sunni Arab states. Another White House official called Netanyahu a coward on a nuclear Iran and said he won't launch a pre-emptive strike.
Israeli Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett called on the Obama administration to "immediately reject these gross comments."
"The prime minister of Israel is not a private person. He is the leader of the Jewish state and the entire Jewish people. Cursing the prime minister and calling him names is an insult not just to him but to the millions of Israeli citizens and Jews across the globe," Bennett wrote.
"The leader of Syria, who slaughtered 150,000 people, was not awarded the name 'chickens---,'" Bennett continued. "Neither was the leader of Saudi Arabia who stones women and homosexuals or the leader of Iran who murders freedom protestors."
"If what appears in the press is true, then it seems that the current U.S. administration is throwing Israel under the bus," Bennett wrote.
"Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East and has been fighting 66 years to survive," he continued.
"Israel is at the forefront of the free world's fight against the Islamic terror of ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran. Instead of attacking Israel and putting it at risk, the world should be strengthening and supporting it."
I agree wholeheartedly. Better to be blessed by God. In fact, it’s no contest. Better isn’t the right word. The ONLY direction is wanting to be blessed by God.
Let me remind my American Jewish friends, of whom many reside in the south Florida congressional districts and vote blindly, without real purpose, every election cycle for Obamabot, Democrat candidates....that this attack from Obama and his “hate Israel” followers, on Bibi (Benjamin) Netanyahu is not the decent, tactful, diplomatic, dignified way to treat our “supposed” close ally, the stae of Israel. I might also remind my Jewish friends, that when they drag the good name of Netanyahu through the mud......they are also dragging the name of Netanyahu’s bother, Unit Commander, Lt. Col. Yonatan “Jonathon” Netanyahu who gave his life for Israel during the rescue if Jewish hostages at Entebbe airport in Uganda on July 4, 1976.
Fact is: POTUS (Musilm Bortherhood Adoree) Obama is no friend, nor ally of either Jews, across the world....or here in the USA.....for quite clear and obvious reasons......period. I have warned my Democrat Party friends......many times....too numerous to list, on this site.......through this election year, to force POTUS Obama to resign, or he will destroy the political power of “his” Democrat party. Of course they, laughed and mocked on me.....but......come next Tuesday evening they will receive a rude awakening from American votets!!!
I would suggest that American Jewish voters across this country and especially in the state of Florida, (Wasserman, Frankel, Deutsch & Murphy) change their ways, and vote to defeat all Democrat Candidates running for office in Florida!!! I believe it is their political and personal interests that they do so.....if just to send a message to “Muslim” POTUS, Obama....that they will not tolerate they abuse of their leaders or people in the state of israel!!!
Would you like to buy a vowel?
Over decades, Liberal have succeeded in making it unfashionable to be proud of your own country.
Many Americans (or rather, people who live in America and don’t like being American) are ashamed of this country but stay here because their opportunities and circumstances HERE are great compared to the other countries they never tire of praising!
They live this lie ... just like the creeps they elect to send to DC.
And Binyamin = son of the South (the land). God has given - the land to the children of Israel.
. . . . so he needs to live up to his name and not trade it away!
“Over decades, Liberals have succeeded in making it unfashionable to be proud of your own country.”
I agree entirely. The same has occurred with religion.
Could almost be called...a prophetic name combo.
“.......he won’t compromise the safety of Israel.”..........
Too bad we can’t run HIM for POTUS, its obvious he has the gonads to do the job.
Any White House staffer calling anyone else a “chicken***” is a towering irony. DC staffers define the most cowardly degraded worthless piles of human excrement ever seen. Weasely backstabbing bureaucrats all. I’d love to see any of them in a foxhole. Better issue them rubber underwear.
“...”The life of every single citizen and soldier matters to me, and I am not prepared to make comprises that will endanger our country.” ...”
Wow...
That’s not just a Man. That’s a Leader of his People, and a Patriot.
Something our current fraud will never be.
Kerry condemns chickens**t comment:

“The ONLY direction is wanting to be blessed by God.:
Then a blind man can see where our nation is headed unless we turn to G_D and elect godly men with the wisdom to lead under HIS authority.
“I don’t know who the people that said those things are, but it made our lives much harder,” Kerry said.
Washington is full of politicians who don’t know ch*cken sh*t from ch*cken salad.
Yes, are the any “i”s?.
I’d like to solve.
Congress critters are spineless.
Congress has failed to be one of the three branches of government.
Sorry, meant to say: Are there any “i”s.
