The Emanuel-Netanyahu Smackdown
CQ Politics ^ | 4-20-09 | Craig Crawford

Posted on 04/20/2009 7:36:07 PM PDT by STARWISE

Imagine Rahm Emanuel and Benjamin Netanyahu in Monday Night Raw, WWE's weekly wrestler smackdown. Emanuel is laying down the law for Israel, making it clear that President Barack Obama wants West Bank territory returned to the Palestinians in exchange for U.S. help in dealing with Iran.

Israeli tough guy Netanyahu pushed back. The White House responded by announcing that the President will be out of town for the Prime Minister's trip to Washington next month.

Emanuel, whose middle name is Israel, has many ties to the country. Jewish leaders expected him to be a great friend when he became Obama's chief of staff.

But it appears that Emanuel is leading the way in taking a hard line against Netanyahu, who is a devoted hawk in Israeli politics. The battle between these two resolute characters should be quite a show.

Like there would be any help for Israel against Iraq even if Bibi did cave in to Rahmboy.

I’m glad to see Bibi isn’t that stupid to believe that POS Emanuel. Hope he stays alert.

You said — Bring it on! It will be open season on Muslims. None of them will be able to leave their houses for the next hundred years out of fear. They would not be safe anywere.

LOL! You’re pretty funny, or you weren’t born yet, at the time of the 9/11 attack...

They were Muslim terrorists..., in case you didn’t know it.

Even so, I wonder how far Emanuel will go to screw over his own family

Ever heard of the Jewish kapos in the camps? Rahm Emanuel would throw his own mother into the gas chamber if it served his real master's purpose.

He meet with Tiger Woods today, and the White Sox, too!

But tooooo busy for Bibi. Every day ... every single day .. there’s another despicable and/or dangerous decision from him.

Can we even survive him for four years ?

It’s more and more obvious he was chosen as the ‘bad cop,’ which of course comes naturally to him, unless he wants something.

Those "Jewish leaders" were, and are, booger eating morons. One need only look at RE's history to know that the only allegiance he has is to power: His own, and to others who can help him increase his own power.

Israel will be "thrown under the bus" by the Obama administration when it's determined that the only way "peace" can be achieved in the middle east is with the destruction of Israel. And those so called "Jewish leaders" can be referred to by another name: "Kapos."

I pray you’re right. But can Israel handle being penned in and labeled the scourge of all their warmongering neighbors who now have the help of the US ? I just wonder what our military would do .. and if Iraq’s forces would play into the deadly equation that’s being set up. God bless and protect Israel.

No, only the secular progressive (communist) ones.

Jewish communists would not be surprised by the Obama Administration's contempt towards Israel. Only useful idiots would.

Well, according to a recent book, Isralestine, by Bill Salus, referring to the Psalm 83 prophecy in the Bible, it looks like Israel is getting ready for a big win over the Arabs...

That’s probably the next thing on the agenda, after the Iran thing is done...

That guy is interviewed in the program I referenced in post #15.

"They comprehend, they just don't care as they believe Israel will do what we say when we say it. We'll see I guess, I hope events turn out better than I expect they will."

I quite agree.

If you have your family standing behind you and a convicted, violent felon is screaming in your face, lunging forward with a knife, and you have a gun - what would you do?

(Note: just heard Joe Lieberman on Greta / Fox say waterboarding should be in the toolbox of the president, albeit in the rarest of circumstances.)

God bless and protect Israel.

My copy of "The Book" says that He Will.

I have read it, and understand enough to know what side I want to be on. And it is not opposing Israel.

Post #15 and the programs referenced, tell the very real outcome of Israel’s near future. This will happen...

The guy who wrote this, Craig Crawford, is a sniveling punk. I’ve heard him on many radio shows and always comes across as a good-ol-boy wannabe - lots of yucks - but always returns to the RAT party line.

Well, sort of... they were just as much prisoners in the camps as the other Jews were. They were the ones that the Nazis delegated certain things to.

Even though the Vichy government in France wasn’t necessarily a prison camp, it could be somewhat compared to it (in a very, very general way...).
