New rift opens between Obama, Netanyahu after election victory
FOX News ^ | March 18, 2015

Posted on 03/18/2015 1:27:15 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

After staying mum on Israeli issues in the run-up to the election, the White House on Wednesday broke its silence -- answering Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's victory with fresh criticism and making clear that a new rift has opened between U.S. and Israeli leaders, this time over Palestinian statehood.

In its first public response to Netanyahu's election triumph, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said President Obama still believes in a two-state solution. This was after Netanyahu, shortly before the vote, reversed his stance and stated he would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state.

Earnest acknowledged Wednesday that the U.S. would have to "re-evaluate" its position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in light of those comments. But he stressed that Obama believes a two-state solution is best. And State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki clarified that the administration "absolutely" will continue to push for this.

Further, Earnest chided Netanyahu's Likud Party on Wednesday, saying the White House was "deeply concerned" about divisive language emanating from Likud. He said the party had sought to marginalize Israel's minority Arabs, an apparent reference to social media posts the Likud distributed that warned Israelis about the danger of high turnout by Arab voters.

"These are views the administration intends to convey directly to the Israelis," Earnest said.

The comments suggest there is likely to be no thaw in the chilly relationship between Netanyahu's administration and the White House.

Man-child Obama humiliates America.

I tell Israel I’m ashamed of my country. You’re worthier than we are.

Obama despises Israel and it is obvious. I hope Bibi doubles down and REALLY sticks his thumb in Osbama’s eye provoking him to reveal himself as a hater of the Jewish State.

Obozo should be viewed simply as a JOKE on America that has run its gamut and we are slowly winding down and wishing that the Obozo act would get OFF the political stage sooner rather than later.

Sorry folks! A little more than a year and a half of Obozo to endure.

Obozo = Practical JOKE on America.

No, he’s not. He’s scheming and planning the next move.

Joke hell! He is a nightmare.

He is not a practical joke on America. He is a curse on America. There is nothing funny or amusing about Obama and his regime of thugs.

And of course the stupid little idiot man-child didn't understand a simple basic fact about international politics. You don't step on the toes of people today who's @$$ you may have to kiss tomorrow.

As usually, the childish little temper tantrum throwing brat bungled up another effort to impose his will on the international stage. It is no wonder the rest of the world is laughing at us for letting this stupid ignorant man-child into a position of power in our nation.

The two state “solution” has been dead for some time.
What the PM has done is acknowledge it, this puts
Israel in a stronger position. It’s time for the
other side to make concessions, or accept that
Gaza is palestine.

More than that, he’s a scheming, vile traitor.

I disagree. Because he's not actually an American, he can't commit treason against us. But we are the fools for letting this foreign bastard get into a position of power in our nation.

The media did this, and I hope to see those people brought to rack and ruin for it some day.

Is it not true that Jordan was created as a Palestinian state? Then why do we need two Palestinian states?

I disagree, the vast majority doesn’t care.

The petulant man child sustains another narcissistic injury. First the election, now this. What's the "Hell to pay" going to be? Will he double down and make sure Iran gets a nuke? Will he just give them one? Do we have checks and balances re our nukes to make sure this doesn't happen? Or has he culled the military to the point where the General just say, "Yes sir"?

Why do I have to even think of this? I worry about Obama and his continued planned destruction of America. Our kids, grand-kids and generations unborn survivability are at stake. I was hoping after the election Congress would Stop Obama, but they seem impotent. At least Cotton et al spoke up.

Makes you so damn mad we have to even think of all these end time scenarios with Obama, both foreign and domestic.

600 Days! With something every day, will we make it?
