Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's brother-in-law Dr. Hagai Ben-Artzi on Wednesday called U.S. President Barack Obama an anti-Semite in an interview with Army Radio.
"It's not that Obama doesn't like Bibi," he referring to Netanyahu using his nickname. "He doesn't like the nation of Israel."
Netanyahu was quick to distance himself from Ben-Artzi's remarks, saying he completely disagrees with his brother-in-law.
Netanyahu said he has a deep appreciation for President Obama's commitment to Israel's security, which he has expressed many times, and also for the deep ties between the two countries.

Netanyahu’s BIL says this and of course Bibi denies it. To me this is Bibi playing hardball - with plausible deniability. Good on him.
I’m absolutely shocked, I tell you!!!
This guy speaks the truth... unlike his brother-in-law, he is not a politician.
Yes, I do, but you know perfectly well that this thread is referring to Jews and not to Semitic peoples in general.
Me, I’m only anti-semiotic!
Someone please cue Captain Obvious... of course Obama is a Jew hating, anti-Israel, anti-semite. All one has to do is look at his long-standing history, who he associates with and his actions, along with the actions of Obama’s “state department”.
Is this the same 0bama who was endorsed by Hamas?
Then turned around and handed Hamas $____ million in taxpayer money?
Doesn’t sound anti-semitic to me /SARC
Bibi has to be diplomatic - he’s in the hottest of hot seats. I can’t imagine a more difficult job.
Zer0’s also anti-Semantic.
