What’s Obama going to do since he said if sanctions don’t work against Iran that Israel will strike? Maybe Obama’s visit was the final straw since his prayer was a set up as he released it to the media.

Litvni is just as bad, if not worse than Olmerde. Unfortunately she is very popular with the drooling idiot Israeli public. And she will face Bibi in the next election.

AT LAST!!!!!

But it can’t come soon enough - Sept. is not soon enough!!

And getting one of his sycophants into the PM’s office is not exactly much of an improvement. Israel is facing critical decisions about Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas, the PA, etc. Bring on BIBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
