"Washington delivered its rebuke to Netanyahu through a number of channels. There was the extended censure by telephone from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a phone call from Biden, the summoning of Israel's ambassador to Washington to the office of Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, the condemnation from the Quartet and, perhaps most important, a media briefing Clinton delivered during a CNN interview which escalated private rebukes into a full-blown public reprimand.
The reproofs were reminiscent of the "low chair diplomacy" the Turkish ambassador to Jerusalem was subjected to by the Israeli Foreign Ministry at the beginning of the year. The media was informed that the conversation between Clinton and Netanyahu lasted 43 minutes, "rather than 10 minutes as usual," and that the prime minister barely uttered a word.
Obama himself reportedly worded the message to be delivered to Netanyahu during his weekly Thursday meeting with Clinton, lest the argument be made that it was merely the secretary of state scolding the Israeli leader, and not the U.S. president himself.
A State Department spokesman described the conversation using phrases which bring to mind a teacher castigating a student, not a working discussion with the leader of a friendly country and ally."
Obammy is a joke. This entire administration is a circus. Thank gawd he’s a one termer.
Obama now a TOOL OF the Palestinians.... and others who hate Israel. Good luck with that O great One.
Netanyahu to Obama: Show us your birth certificate...
Netanyahu would probably have better results with Zero if he showed up in a burka.
When does one of these pantywaist Democrats say that to the Palestinians?
Just show us you are since by putting loosing your collar and putting your neck here on this block.
Uh...Obama, be careful what you wish for.
Bibi...I think I speak for a majority of Americans, and certainly a majority of Congress in saying this:
WE STAND WITH YOU. NOT WITH OBAMA.
Bibi: TAKE OBAMA ON. REJECT HIM. IGNORE HIM. Do whatever is in the best interests of Israel. Believe me, this pretender-in-Chief can do NOTHING to harm you or Israel. NOTHING Obama can threaten against you will EVER be approved by Congress. STAY STRONG and wait out this Muslim stooge who duped Americans into electing him, but who won't be elected again.
And considering all of the many, many, many times Israel has been attacked, and the incredible amount restraint they have shown, I can only think to say, “Go f%@# yourself, Obama, you stupid @&#*%@#*$@#...!”
Send a nuke to the Hamas and blow them off the planet, that will show obama!
The online chatter on Debka tonight is that the United States is holding back on military supplies for Israel that would be needed in a conflict with Iran and its surrogates like Hezbollah and Hamas.
"Show me you're serious about ANYTHING besides destroying the last front in the war on freedom in the world."
This is a guy who describes his own health care plan to hand out pills to old American grandmas instead of procedures. THAT ideology is a foreign concept to the majority of Americans.... BamKennedy is a ‘stranger’ to American values, God given unalienable ‘rights’.... life, liberty and pursuit of happiness... BamBamKennedy is playing ‘god’.
Sure, Ubanga - - right after you ask the Palestinians to show they're serious..
Start by supporting Israel fully. Stop enabling all her enemies that SURROUND her and ATTACK her all the time. Stop sympathizing with everyone but Israel. Your support of Israel is thin at best.
My gut reaction is summed up in the acronym: “FUBO”
In reality, Israel depends on the US for financial and military aid.
Just like the US has an increasing dependency on China because of our less capitalistic economy, the Israeli socialist economy has a dependence on the US that Obama can use to squeeze concessions.
In the end Israel will be forced to make a decision about its survival since Iran is dead serious about using whatever means (Hezbollah, Hamas, Nuclear weapons etc.) to destroy Israel.
And Obama wants to play Neville Chamberlin since the stories I read are about his surrogates (Clnton, Biden, Gates) leaning on Israel not to act militarily while he dithers with China and Russia about sanctions on Iran.
FUBO.......
Netanyahu should come back at Zero with the fact that he’s serious about Israel’s survival, and that that is non-negotiable.
Do the Jews like being victims? Is it in their blood to get massacred? Is is a religious requirement or is there some genetic cause that pushes them to want to be destroyed?
***Why the hell do so many of the American Jews back Obama?***
“Show us you’re serious about peace”
Yeah, and what? Do we get a prize? Is there some murderous component of behavior on the part of our mortal enemies you or they are promising to mollify or attenuate? What’s our upside?
