Israeli Police Enter Netanyahu's Home For Questioning Over Corruption Allegations

Who is the he you are referring to? Bibi or AC?

Well keep diplomatic ties but hands off, certainly does not sound like any friend I would want when my political enemies are attacking.

Right. I'm sure that's what every foreign leader said to themselves when they rationalized their support for a couple of crooked, depraved scumbags like Bill and Hillary Clinton over the last 25 years.

So when Trump's political enemies attack Trump are you going to allow the attacks carry on with no blow back from you?

When Trump's political enemies here in the U.S. attack him, I would not expect any foreign leaders to stand up for him. He'll do just fine without them.

Israel's loony leftists can't defeat Bibi at the polls, so they try to undermine him in other ways.

'Media's obsession with Netanyahu undercuts democracy'

[Robert DeLong]

Again, there is no need to take the hands off approach. We have had a long and close relationship with Israel that has been severely strained over the last 8 years. So this is not just some corrupt, crooked, depraved scumbag, it is a valued ally.

While Trump is absolutely quite capable of taking care of himself, I certainly would expect our closest allies to show their support for him in terms of alleged allegations. If the allegations are proven true, then is the time the can express their disappointment. But until that time you do not turn your back on your allies. I know I would raise my voice in support of him and in condemnation of his attackers, because there will be plenty of them.

Timely!

My comment regarding the "hands-off" approach related specifically to Netanyahu, not Israel in general.

This other poster Editor-Surveyor suggested that you ignore me. I have no problem with that. Personally, I would rather be ignored than have a clear statement of mine misrepresented here on this thread.

I’m sure Trump is grateful for your advice. We all know he got where he is by following it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You think our fake news media isn’t going to pull the same thing on Trump as is being pulled on Netenyahu?

[Robert DeLong]

Nothing was misrepresented. You said what you said and I responded to that statement. If you think you can take hands off approach with the leader of a country that is an ally and still have firm ties with that country you are wrong.

[Will Trump ever take office????]

My tinfoil hat has been concerned about exactly that.

Very dangerous times. O knows his time to destroy is short.

[kanawa]

I was reading the comments with a puzzled wtf.
Sure appears as though many of the posts have an anti-semitic bent to them.

[af_vet_1981]

Netanyahu has been outrunning the law liberal opposition parties who want to do Europe's bidding for 20 years.

[Alberta's Child]

Actually, he did get where he is by following my advice.

Not because I was giving it to him, of course ... but because he had a number of people among his advisors who were saying the same thing I was saying.

P.S. -- I'm hearing that the same thing is unfolding among the people on his team on this particular point, too.

[Alberta's Child]

I have no idea if the reported investigation of Netanyahu has any merit. Do you?

[Alberta's Child]

If you think you can take hands off approach with the leader of a country that is an ally and still have firm ties with that country you are wrong.

Isn't that exactly what Netanyahu did in March 2015 when he got up and openly lobbied Congress to oppose an Iran deal that the Obama administration put together?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

P.S. -- I'm hearing that the same thing is unfolding among the people on his team on this particular point, too. Wow!

You must REALLY be important!

[Bronzewound]

As we detailed last week, on Monday, December 26th, Israeli police announced that they are absolutely convinced that a criminal investigation will be opened in the next few days due to new documents that were recently received in a special inquiry that began about 9 months ago.

I wonder where these documents came from.

 

[KyCats]

Same here.

I read Zero Hedge articles frequently but comments only occasionally. I never realized that the people there are such vicious and rabid anti-Semites but it was really obvious. I won’t be going back.
