Can’t help but think Obama’s fingerprints are all over this thru his connections with Netanyahu’s enemies/opposition. Remember it was Obama who interfered with the recent Israeli election. This is just another component of Obama’s petulant FU tour.

The main reason for a web site to reject Jew-hate comments is that Jew-haters will flood the site with their bile and crowd out other types of comments.

"Bibi has substantial and well financed enemies, and, yes, Obama has spent a lot of US taxpayer’s money helping that opposition. If they have indeed found a week spot, they will press it until they have Bibi out of office."

I'll take "Obama Flings Poo" for $1,000, Alex.

You comparing apples & oranges.

I would actually expect him to lobby for support when it is a very real threat to his country. He was not asking for support for him personally. He was lobbying for support to reject a very bad plan not only for his country but the world as well. However, I do remember Obama giving his opposition in the election process, direct support. Both monetarily and personally campaigning the Israelite people to choose one candidate over the other.

An investigation into alleged corruption charges, fomented by his opposition, does not mean Trump should not invite him to his inauguration. Because invitation's intent is to send a signal to Israel, and the world, that America's attitude is turning 180 degrees in the opposite direction in regards to our relationship to Israel. The idea was not conceived to signal support for Bibi, and it was mentioned before this raid even occurred. It is up to Israel to decide the fate of Bibi based upon the evidence, sans interference from the U.S. The two issues are not joined at the hip in any way shape or form.

Obama’s juvenile team Adobe’d them up for Bibi’s haters.

My search didn’t find this, so I posted one in Front Page News. This is very disturbing. If Soros and Obama are trying to take out Bibi, what are they going to try next against Trump?

I don't see it as "apples and oranges" at all. The example I cited is the type of scenario where the relations between the countries is directly put at risk because it involves the leader of one country meddling directly in the internal political dealings of the other. It completely glosses over the fact that there was plenty of political and economic pressure right here in the U.S. for our government to lift those sanctions. Boeing, for example, had lobbied heavily to get the sanctions lifted -- for obvious reasons when you see the deals they had since made with Iran's national airline.

Along these lines, it should also be pointed out that Netanyahu has spent a lot of political energy lobbying the U.S. on matters where there's a lot of political disagreement even within Israel itself. This is one more perfectly legitimate reason for U.S. political leaders to make every effort to keep foreign leaders at arm's length except in cases where there are truly common interests between the countries.

An investigation into alleged corruption charges, fomented by his opposition, does not mean Trump should not invite him to his inauguration. Because invitation's intent is to send a signal to Israel, and the world, that America's attitude is turning 180 degrees in the opposite direction in regards to our relationship to Israel.

I don't know what this means in the context of the inauguration. There are plenty of other (better) reasons for Trump not to invite Netanyahu to his inauguration. For one thing, it is something that is simply not done as a matter of course here in the U.S. The normal protocol is for foreign ambassadors to be invited, but for foreign heads of state and other leaders to be specifically excluded from these affairs.

I don't think it's unreasonable for anyone to suggest that there is absolutely no compelling reason to change this in 2016.

Yep the start of a coup against BiBi. Wonder what they are going to throw at Trump? The Soros Team is not going to let up - attacking the anti Globalist leaders.

I’ve read that Trump got acquainted with Bibi many years ago, and has known him for a long time - don’t know how accurate that is.

I would say probably the same thing they did to BIBi. Trump up charges, attempt to arrest him and he will be killed “resisting” arrest. The quest that remains to be answered is , should this happen, what will be our response? These are very dangerous individuals. And anyone that believes that they are going to give up their power merely because they lost an election are only deluding themselves.

There is no doubt that they have dirty tricks up their sleeves, and they are NOT giving up. Pray like never before.

That’s right. EUrabia is against Israel, and always has been.

The French started out in about 1962 trying to establish a Euro-Muslim bloc that would be able to get in the same league with the U.S. and the USSR.

France is not our friend, and their political philosophy IS NOT THE SAME AS OURS. Their Revolution WAS NOT THE RULE OF LAW, and it was the direct ancestor of Communism and Socialism.

France is not our friend, and now even the U.K. voted against Israel (did not even abstain!)

This is exactly what I’m thinking. They are going to do every thing they can against Trump and everything they can to prevent the restoration of the Republic.

And yet objectively France’s relationship with the U.S. is closer than Israel’s is. If nothing else, the U.S. and France have a mutual defense treaty that have put them on the same side in diplomatic affairs and military campaigns for decades.
