Speaking at Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu told ministers that Russian plans to go ahead with the delivery of P-800 anti-ship missiles to Syria was "problematic" for Israel.

"We have been aware of this deal for some time and there were discussions with the Russians at every level," Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu is not as strong of a leader as I thought he would be. Too bad.

What exactly do you think he should do/ should have done about a deal signed in 2007? What would be a "strong response?"

Cancel the deal. Mobilize the country. Take the Hamas and Hezbolla out. Never allow Iran to Nuke up. Attack Syria before they can deploy the 800 cruise missles against Israel. Declare Jeruselem the Capital and tear down the Dome and Rebuild the Temple.

Not to worry - Obama has the Syrians eating right out of his hand (or eating his lunch - maybe that’s it)

It just would not be politically correct for Israel to defend itself against all those nations trying to destroy her citizens, don’t you know. The democrats expect them to lie down while thier enemies murder them.

This is how the treacherous Russian scum repay Israel for ceasing arms sales to Georgia. The evil Russian savages are free to exterminate and “ethnically cleanse” innocent Georgian Christians while arming psychotic socialist mohammedan Syria and hizb-allah.

Let’s face it, behind Israel’s most vile Islamic enemy states, the neo-Soviet dictatorship of Putin’s Kremlin continues keeping them all extremely well armed for aggressive war, which makes the current régime in Moscow — the enemy as well.
