Netanyahu Repays Obama for Political Ploys
[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of U.S. commitments made to Israel in 2004, which were overwhelmingly supported by both houses of Congress.
-- Statement from the Israeli prime minister ahead of his meeting today with Obama.
The good news for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: President Obamas surprising embrace of the Palestinian demand that Israel return to its borders prior to the 1967 Six-Day War gives Netanyahu additional political security at home. With Obama siding with the Palestinians on this key point, Netanyahus hard-line stance will be vindicated.
The bad news for Netanyahu: Obama has deprived him of a key bargaining chip as world pressure mounts for him to restart negotiations with the re-radicalized Palestinians.
Obama and his political aides (particularly Rahm Emanuel) have somewhat openly worked to dislodge the hawkish Netanyahu from power, preferring to install more moderate leadership for Israel in an effort to jump-start talks with the Arabs and end Israeli construction projects in areas claimed by the Palestinians.

The Muslims in the Middle East will still give tens of thousands of $200 donations to his campaign under made up names over the Internet. And Obastard will purposefully turn off the software that tracks the location of the donor.
Obastard has been breaking the law since before he was president and he isn’t going to stop now.

Aw, you do Chauncey Gardner a disservice there!
LOL
You’ve got it wrong. It’s a case of erroneously placed idealism. Liberal Jews have been brainwashed into thinking that everyone else in the world who has a challenge is the underdog and Jews are hardwired to help others and pride themselves on supporting the underdog. It’s not about Medicare and SS. These Jews don’t realize they are still the most common target of hate crimes in the U.S. and that history has shown how far that can and does go.
Hell, Im not even Jewish. Id move to Israel if I could.
Ok, a Freeper trip to Israel?
And take a look at Bibi’s remarkable brother Jonathan (Yoni) Netanyahu (1946-1976), the hero of the Israeli raid on Entebbe that freed a planeload of hostages from terrorists. Here’s a website about him and his legacy, one that is in the forefront of his brother Bibi’s mind:
