Netanyahu’s contempt for President Obama
Washington Post ^ | January 27, 2015 | Richard Cohen

Posted on 01/27/2015 11:38:13 AM PST by KingofZion

It would not surprise me if, at the next Republican National Convention, Benjamin Netanyahu took a seat in the delegates-from-abroad section. The Israeli leader has both allied and associated himself with congressional Republicans who differ with President Obama over whether to impose additional sanctions on Iran and who also — let’s not beat around the bush — hate his guts. Their foreign policy is actually a domestic one: to destroy the president.

Whether this is political or personal — or a combination of the two — is beside the point. Whatever the case, when Netanyahu accepted John Boehner’s invitation to address a joint session of Congress in March, he did so without informing the White House. Boehner, too, bypassed the White House. As a result, Netanyahu will come and go and not meet with the president. *** But what concerns me most is how Netanyahu threatens to harm the bipartisan understanding and support of Israel. The prime minister has never been able to hide his disdain for Obama. In May 2011, he made Obama squirm before the TV cameras as he lectured him about Middle East matters in the Oval Office. It was, simply, no way to treat the president of the United States.

*** My feelings, however, are immaterial. What matters above all is the possibility that support of Israel will become a partisan political issue in the United States. It may come as a surprise, but Zionism was once beloved by the American and European left. (The British Labour Party even supported transferring Palestinians out of what is now Israel — a policy that changed once Labour got to govern.) Now, though, the European left has abandoned Israel, adoring the Palestinian cause with a striking naivete.

This guy is really screwed up. He seems to forget that Obama kept Netanyahu cooling his heals while he had dinner with Michelle and the kids. It's Obama who has been nothing but rude to Ben from Day 1 - not the reverse. You can't really blame Ben for lecturing Barack as he obviously doesn't have a clue when it comes to the Middle East. The notion that Netanyahu could hurt Obama domestically is laughable. Cohen is another self-hating member of the tribe.

Dorkbama is only worth 1) extending a third finger, 2) extending both third finters, 3) mooning, and 4) farting in his general direction.

He is slimel.

He is pond scum.

He is a quota baby with no IQ, morals, or cojones.

Aside from that, I guess he deserves some respect.

What kind, I cannot say.

Instead of talking about what Obama has actually done, let's talk about what Netanyahu might do in the future.

Personally, I think this whole thing is a distraction and a waste of time. If Obama was really all that upset about Netanyahu's address to Congress, he could simply block Netanyahu from entering the country.

This -- along with the entourage of Executive Branch and Congressional leaders flocking to pay homage to the late Saudi king -- says more about the idiocy of having a Federal government beholden to foreign interests than anything else.

A Jewish man wrote the article. Defending Obama, supporting Iran, and attacking Israel. Please explain that to me.

The Republicans foreign/domestic policy is to destroy the pResident? Well, the pResident’s foreign/domestic policy is to destroy the USA......who is in the right? I will never understand Jews who so blindly follow Obama, no matter what he does to Israel.

Netanyahu is the secular leader and defender of the Jewish people. He will do whatever needs to be done to protect Israel and its population no matter how politically incorrect. He knows that Obama and Kerry are pseudo sophisticated narcissists who cling to their delusions regarding Islam. They dream of signing a “historic agreement with lunatic medieval mullahs. These mullahs have publicly stated their apocalyptic desire to destroy Israel. Netanyahu does not have the luxury of indulging fools or fantasies. Nor can he ever make a critical strategic error in judgment or lose one war with his enemies.
