The odd-couple pairing of Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu has apparently frayed for good, at least according to Ben Smith’s sources at the White House. As in most breakups, it’s not clear just who is dumping whom, but the alliance between the US and Israel may be at its nadir. Ironically, the US has belatedly discovered that Mahmoud Abbas isn’t exactly a partner for peace: In recent weeks, in the wake of the latest collapse of American diplomacy in the region around Thanksgiving, a new, more hard-headed view of Netanyahu has become cemented in the West Wing — one that rates the chances of a personal alliance growing between the Israeli leader and President Barack Obama to be just about zero. The notion that the two men could prove a productive diplomatic odd couple has been tossed aside because, in the American view, the worst expectations about Netanyahu’s intransigence have been confirmed. The new view: Netanyahu chose the constraints of a coalition that he steered further right this month, and the U.S. won’t be offering him help, or sympathy, with his domestic politics going forward. Meanwhile, this distinctly non-rose colored view of Netanyahu has taken hold in the White House just as there is growing doubt about whether Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas can ever be a consistent, strong American ally. The twin conclusions have brought a distinct frost to administration relations with both men — a chill that for now seems likely to freeze the chances for any new U.S. peace initiative in the region.

More than likely BeBe gavve up on Obama long before. IMHO, Israel knows it has to go it alone for a while - at least until 2012.
Huh? Hussein was hostile to God’s people from the very start.

Agreed. The Muslim/Marxist likely illegal alien currently usurping the office of US President is no friend to Israel. Maybe its time to accept the theory that the Fakestinians will never be happy until they drive Israel into the sea. If they really wanted their own country its been offered several times. They refuse to accept.
Look at the Palestine territory. Its a complete cesspool. No industry, no business, no agriculture nada. Its just a launching pad for hatred and attacks on Israel.
The Israelis would be better served to announce that they are no longer engaged in any further talks about peace with Palestine, shore up their wall and continue to build new settlements and improve their country.
The problem the President has is trying to elevate himself to the same level as BiBi. Once BiBi figured out that he is far above the President, the result became obvious.
Questions of Obama’s Muslim-inclinations aside, I honestly don’t think Obama’s dislike of Israel is due to anything religious. Instead, he sees Israel as an outpost of (formerly British) American imperialism and colonialism. It is most curious that while he hates colonialism, he treats Israel just like a colony and expects them to jump at his beck and call.
You know Obama is not speaking for himself but for the USA, the whole nation, and when a president chooses to side with the enemy rather than with the nations friends, nobody winns
May God help us all
Divine assignment of the land
First of all, God had originally ordained that the tiny land would belong to the Jews, not others. But others were welcome to live there in peace under Israeli rule. Others would also be blessed, which they have been (oil reserves !!), but that tiny spot, in a sea of billions of square miles of Arab land, belonged to Israel. God had His reasons, and they need to be respected. This is all summarized in these other 2 posts, so it will not be repeated here:

Yes Obama hate all of us including The British..His fater and grandfather were criminals and they fot what was coming to them..Father was a drunk to boot so he has something to be very proud of..NOT!!
I pray every day for our country and the people in it..I just hope that God hasn't given up on us..
The way some of people of this country and others live their lives like filthy pigs he will some day destroy them..
While Obastard may be hailed by the left as their socialist genius on domestic policy, even they cannot do anything but admit what a failure he has been on the international front.
Even today you can't convince almost any American Jew that Obama is a Muslim. I don't know. It is some kind of psychology that I cannot comprehend.
Just like in the days of Dayan, it is amazing (unbelievable really) how often the Jews are their own worst enemy.
Many of them just seem to have an ‘amazing’ capacity for self delusion.
“What percentage of Jews voted for Hussein?
I think it was close to 90%.”
How is this relevant to Israel? I ask this as an Israeli.

The new view: Netanyahu chose the constraints of a coalition that he steered further right this month, and the U.S. won't be offering him help, or sympathy, with his domestic politics going forward.Y'know, because Zero and his army of flying monkeys were making offers of help left and right before.
Look at any place with a majority of islamomaniacs.
There's a reason they were put in a sandbox.
