Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu assumed the role of Santa Claus on Tuesday, giving a free trip to Canada on his airplane at the end of the month to a lone soldier he met while watching an army maneuver in the North.

At the end of the live-fire training exercise, which simulated fighting in a Hizbullah village in southern Lebanon, two soldiers with camouflage paint on their faces and fishnet on their helmets who were cast in the role of Hizbullah fighters, emerged from the boulders and were taken to meet the prime minister.

Bibi would be an awesome leader and President for the USA. We have a Disgrace in Chief that shows no regard for the US Military.

It’s a picture of two fine men, both soldiers.

No one on the planet would take the disgrace in our White House or the slime in our Congress.

PM Netanyahu is a strong leader. Hopefully the Israelis know this.

In the meantime, just to show that selfish idiots also live in Israel, this comment at the end of the article is telling:

As Netanyahu walked toward his helicopter, another soldier – not a lone soldier – turned to his friend and said, “That’s a very nice gesture, now what about me?”

Oh, I dunno. I think that he'd do it.....

....if the cameras were rolling, if he got full credit for it, and if there were plenty of news-shills there when the guy landed for good photo-ops of BO "being tough on terrorism with our military heroes".

But only if the soldier-in-question voted for BO. If not, he can go fish.

I'm sure that, unlike Obama, Bibi realizes that he doesn't qualify constitutionally for the US presidency.

Israelis have a tradition of picking up hitchhiking soldiers, but this is taking it to a whole ‘nother level.

Bibi was born in Tel Aviv, but spent several years in the USA.
