“Chickensh--t” is the word an aide at the State Department is using to describe Prime Minister Netanyahu, according to Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic. Another Obama administration official calls the Israeli premier a “coward.” The officials lacked the courage to speak on the record, but if Mr. Goldberg reported they said it, you can take it to the bank. Another adjective the Atlantic legman says he’s heard used about Mr. Netanyahu is “aspergery,” meaning having difficulties with social intercourse. This about a leader who, in Mr. Netanyahu, has kept together a long-term coalition government in the planet’s liveliest parliamentary democracy. At least Secretary of State Kerry hasn’t likened Mr. Netanyahu to Genghis Khan.
The fault for “this breakdown in relations” lies, Mr. Goldberg reckons, with Mr. Netanyahu, who, the reporter’s sources tell him, has “written off” the Obama administration and “plans to speak directly to Congress and the American people should an Iran nuclear deal be reached.” It seems that Mr. Netanyahu intends to fight on what the Sun has called the most dangerous ground in the Middle East, namely the no-man’s-land between the White House and the Congress. Mr. Netanyahu has entered this minefield before, addressing Joint Meetings of Congress in 1996 after the Republican Newt Gingrich became Speaker of the House and in 2011 after John Boehner did the same.
We’re tempted chalk this up as yet more evidence that the Republicans are the more logical partner for Israel. This goes back as far as 1972, when Yitzhak Rabin was Israel’s ambassador in Washington and conceived that President Nixon was a more realistic global thinker than the Democrats. We’re not convinced, though, that the issue is or ought to be partisan.

Wonder what Netanyahu calls Osamabama...
I’ll bet “chickenshit” would be the nicest term!
“... I will stand with Islam”
Nothing more needs to be said.
The idea that snarky, metrosexual, punk-ass, pajama-boys in this Administration call a former commando of Sayaret Matkal a “chickenshit” just frosts me.
No, Goldberg, the fault lies with Obama.
And the Klown says ISIS is JV. God, what morons. Worse, the morons that actually did vote for him. You can’t blame the dead voters or fictitious ones but at least SOME were living.
Me too. The Clintons had a bad relationship with Netanyahu when they were in office, and the Dems can’t fool him. I dread when PM Netanyahu leaves office. That new President of Israel Ravenil? wants Palestinians to have Israeli citizenship??NUTS.
obama is way more asbergery than Bibi
It should not be partisan, but it is, because being anti-Judeo-Christian is more important tothe liberals than knowing who your friends are.
Did you notice NOT ONE of the pajama-boys had the courage to admit they made the comment?
Had you ever heard that term before? I’m amazed there’s a pejorative term for people with Aspergers or Autism. Count on the left.
Since his support is building, this helps, he’ll probably call for elections next year, which potentially means another 4 years.
nope I hadn’t, but no one could be more socially awkward than my mil
You meant a$$ buggery, right?
FUBO
I will stand with the ISRAELIS should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
Obama can go straight ‘back’ to Hell.
The Obamites are coming unglued.
They expected to be much further in carrying out their pro-muslim, anti-Jew agenda by now.
It is going to get downright nasty and dangerous the day after the election.
And not just for the Israelis.
