Though Netanyahu has recently allowed new settlement construction, it mostly has been in neighborhoods that Palestinian leders have already conceded will be part of Israel in a final settlement. This week he told his cabinet that West Bank outposts declared illegal by the Israeli Supreme Court would be uprooted.
In other words, Netanyahu has been an occasionally difficult but ultimately cooperative partner. He can be accused of moving too slowly and offering too little, but not of failing to heed American initiatives. And Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas? For five of the six months of the Israeli settlement moratorium he refused Obama’s appeals to begin negotiations; after two meetings, he returned to his intransigence. Rejecting a personal appeal from Obama, he took his bid for statehood to the United Nations, where he may yet force the United States to use its Security Council veto.
France last month joined an appeal from the Mideast diplomatic “quartet” — the United States, European Union, Russia and United Nations — for Israel and the Palestinians to return unconditionally to negotiations. Netanyahu accepted. Abbas said no.
Abbas, it’s fair to say, has gone from resisting U.S. and French diplomacy to actively seeking to undermine it. Yet it is Netanyahu whom Sarkozy finds “unbearable,” and whom Obama groans at having to “deal with every day.” If there is an explanation for this, it must be personal; in substance, it makes little sense.

Don’t know about Sarkozy. Hussein doesn’t like Jews. Oh, he’ll befriend them (see: Rahm), but he doesn’t LIKE them. Especially ones like Bibi who know more than he knows.
Fixed.
Uh....cuz he won’t participate in their long wished for destruction of Israel?
“O” is very impressionable and takes on the persona of whomever he is with... at the time.
No core values or intelligence of his OWN, so it works for him!!
Because Netanyahu is a warrior who has been there and done that while the other two are and always will be wannabe warriors.
Because he’s got balls. Metros HATE that.
Colonel, USAFR
Obammy hates EVERYONE, except the peaceful Mooselimbs.
My Neighbor is a Jew and he supports Obama, he had a sticker on his car with Obama symbol in Hebrew in 08.I want to smack him and say “ I am more jewish then you, and I am christian”. I I cannot understand the seld hating and destructive Jews in this country? I really want to )))) his ))) someday.
Hint: the OWS movement is full of them.
Let's see. A Frenchman and a Black Radical Muslim. Hmm. I wonder. Could it be because Netanyahu is, ah, Jewish?!
Sarkozy had people protesting against Netanyahu in the streets. Obama does it all by himself here in the good old USA.
.
When Pat Buchannan suggested that we slightly temper our support for Israel the left branded him a rabid anti-semite. I’d say two can play at that game.
Your typical liberal American Jew is afraid of voting Republican and turning into a Christian!
This needs to be broadcast all over Florida and New York. The Jews need to turn on Obama in 2012 like like an East Texas Neutra Rat turning on a copperhead snake.
“I wonder. Could it be because Netanyahu is, ah, Jewish?! “
Middle East diplomacy would be much easier if there were no Jews. At least, that is the belief of the EU and Obama. Where will the French go after Sharia is imposed? Will Detroit have its own legal system in the near future? More “progress” has been made for Islamist autocracy in the last three years than in the prior 100.
Quebec?
Sarkozy is part Jewish to boot. Another self hating Jew? Trying to get as much away from his Jewish ancestry as possible? As to Obama, he’s just a Muslim in disguise.
Gee coming from france a country actively complicit with the Nazis in rounding up Jewish women & children to be shipped to the gas chambers and from a muslim, someone, somewhere doesn’t understand?
Europe has long been a bastion of anti Semitism, and muslims are pretty upfront about their hatred of Jews
