Obama, Netanyahu on Collision Course 6 Years in the Making

For six years, President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have been on a collision course over how to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, a high-stakes endeavor both men see as a centerpiece of their legacies.

The coming weeks will put the relationship between their countries, which otherwise remain stalwart allies, to one of its toughest tests.

Netanyahu is bound for Washington for an address to Congress on Tuesday aimed squarely at derailing Obama's cherished bid for a diplomatic deal with Tehran. At the same time, Secretary of State John Kerry and other international negotiators will be in Switzerland for talks with the Iranians, trying for a framework agreement before a late March deadline.

In between are Israel's elections March 17, which have heightened the political overtones of Netanyahu's visit to Washington.

The prime minister is speaking to Congress at the request of Republicans. His visit was coordinated without the Obama administration's knowledge, deepening tensions between two leaders who have never shown much affection for each other.

Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the liberal Jewish advocacy group J Street, said Netanyahu was "crossing some lines that haven't been crossed before and is putting Israel into the partisan crossfire in a way it has not been before."

I just have one question. Does the media, when they go home for the day turn to their significant others and say, “I don’t know how long I can keep lying for this marxist, Islamic dictator?”

We can dream on, anyway. Israel would never do that. They play Dems off Repubs and Repubs off Dems. It is a miracle they have survived among all the masses of snarling, deadly Muslims. It has not gone so well for Christians over there. Obama could care less about the Jews or Christians.

Soon there will be no more Christians in the Middle East and if Obama gets his way, no Israel, either.
