Hank Sheinkopf, former adviser to ex-US President Bill Clinton during his election campaign from 1995 to 1996, spoke with Arutz Sheva about the complicated political relations between Israeli and American leaders.
Speaking about the tense relations between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama, Sheinkopf remarked that how the world feels about Netanyahu is not important to Israelis, whereas it is very important to American Jews who directly deal with public perceptions of the Jewish state.
As far as Netanyahu and Obama not getting along, he opined it "is no different than Clinton and Netanyahu not getting along," noting an "ideological inconsistency" behind the tensions.
"American presidents are used to dealing with Jews who are Democrats and liberals, and here (that) is not the case with Netanyahu," explained Sheinkopf, claiming Netanyahu is more along the lines of a Republican.

On a different topic, Sheinkopf spoke about Israel's difficulties in presenting its case to the world.

All true about Bibi and about many Republicans.
he’s an anti-Semite.
They hate them more than a world of terrorists, foreign tyrants & bloodthirsty dictators, deviants & kleptocrats.
OBIES no friend of JOOS!
Barack isn't smart enough to fold a cheap umbrella.
The author is wrong in that the Holocaust, of history, doesn’t matter any more.
Crapgame: Then make a DEAL!
Big Joe: What kind of deal?
Crapgame: A DEAL, deal! Maybe the guy's a Republican. "Business is business," right?
O does not represent 95% of Americans with his anti-Judeo-Christian policies and attitudes and insults.
He is a gross embarrassment to USA and our nation’s values.
Obama feuds with Bibi because Bibi is a yahud like me (Arabic for a Jew).
Obama feuds with BiBi because he cn never be the man Netanyahu his..
There is something wrong.
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.>
Doh! IS, not HIS..
Actually, I believe the most recent was when Bibi visited the last time, and Obama TOLD him that he could not build most houses in the West Bank.
I think Bibi politely told Obama that he was going to build regardless of what Obama said about it.
We know Obama is on the side of Hamas/Hezbollah .. not Israel. Bibi has no assurance Obama will be of any assistance to Israel if they get attacked.
Now, with Bibi coming here .. Obama is fit to be tied; so the threats of “a price to be paid” .. really means .. Obama will pay a huge price for this action: Gen 12:3
You are so VERY RIGHT about the citizenry, however WE all have to realize WE grew up with freedom the young people today don’t really know the difference they ALL think this regulation nation is the norm and they are being taught NOTHING but propaganda in our higher institutions, come to think of it they are being taught nothing but propaganda from kindergarten through college!!!! Unless we find a way into our schools NOTHING will change!!!!
Obama feuds with Bibi because Obama’s a muslim.
Obama feuds with Bibi. Obama feuds with Republicans. Obama feuds with members of his own party (like the swipe taken at Menendez on the Iran sanctions).
By this point a normal person would have realized the truth in the old saying that “if everyone else around you is an a**hole, the problem is really YOU.”
And Progs used to whine that GW Bush had “hubris.”
Yes and no. Yes, that the great danger is that he could have been nominated and elected. But he’s not a fool. He’s a tool. Of very powerful and even more hostile interests, yes, but this doesn’t make him a fool. Indeed, he’s been doing quite well for himself. Not every illegal immigrant becomes a multi- millionaire, for Instance, and nearly nobody gets to treat the U.S. treasury as his own personal vacation fund. Etc.
BRAVO !!!!
Your comment was clear, concise and correct! We (the West) are in incredibly serious trouble! Too many ‘useful idiots’ who are more interested in Taylor Swift showing her belly button on ‘Instagram’, than on what is happening in the world.
I can't remember where I head that quote, however.
