Extreme left wing group Peace Now accused Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of racist motivation for standing up to U.S. President Barack Obama in a White House press briefing last week.
In an op-ed piece for Ma’ariv, Peace Now Director-General Yariv Oppenheimer called Netanyahu’s behavior “unprecedented.”
It was no coincidence, he explained, that the Prime Minister’s “Israeli arrogance broke records,” and that “sentences that are supposed to be said behind closed doors and in internal discussions were exhibited for all to see in a condescending and ugly manner.”
Netanyahu’s “supercilious and patronizing attitude” in "scolding" Obama stems from the fact that Obama, the first black American president, is not part of the same social milieu as former presidents like Bush, Reagan and Clinton “and the like,” he went on. Netanyahu did everything he could to “humiliate and hurt” Obama, Oppenheimer told his Israeli readers. .....

Basically, the entire point of the editorial appears to be: “Mr. Netanyahu’s response to Mr. Obama’s demands regarding Israel’s actions did not make ME ‘feel’ good. Mr. Obama is ‘black’. Mr. Netanyahu is not. Therefore, Mr. Netanyahu MUST be a racist.”
Always remember that Israel’s Labor Party and our Democratic Party are eternally joined at the hip.
Eat it, Opie.
He’s a piece of SOMETHING...
“sentences that are supposed to be said behind closed doors and in internal discussions were exhibited for all to see in a condescending and ugly manner.”
The exact same thing could be said about Obama, and the shocking way he jumped the gun with his snotty speech before Netanyahu even got here. He is the one who set the tone. He humiliated the Prime Minister, ambushed him, even. I would say “payback’s a bitch,” but I think Bibi is too classy for that.
Peace Now = Anti-Semitism
Hmmmmm—what word did you have in mind? Did the word have an s-h and an i-t in it?
This isn’t the first time the Prime Minister of Israel has been the recipient of boorish behavior at the hands of the current pres__ent.
Øbama’s race card is not only expired, it’s canceled because it’s overdrawn!
That is hilarious.
Teaching actual history to an ignoramus (of any color) is "racist?"
Only a true racist would make such a leap.
The slander “racist” has lost its sting, because racism is losing its meaning.
The racist card will be played over and over again until Obamanation is re-elected and continue to be in the news for decades if he’s not. Let’s hope we will read about being racist for decades.
Unless you give Ubama a BJ, you’re a racist.
Besides, wasn't it Zer0 who tossed out the first shot a few days prior when he called for pre-1967 boarders just before the PM came to town?
Then he and his leftist buddies squeal like little girls with a dead frog when he is called on it.
“Treat me as a equal... just not like that!”
What a panzie. What a wussie...
Yariv Oppenheimer
In an editorial, the Jerusalem Post said that a lack of transparency marks Peace Now's financial dealings. It is funded through an educational NGO called Sha'al Educational Enterprises, which, according to its general secretary Yariv Oppenheimer, receives most of its funds from American Jews. Its annual budget is not known, and it provides no information concerning the amount of funds coming from foreign foundations
In 2006, Peace Now director Yariv Oppenheimer reportedly urged the U.S. to pressure Israel into evacuating West Bank outposts, according to a leaked U.S. diplomatic cable.

What else could the disagreement be about.
Bibi is anti-Irish?
Only the black Irish. He’s ok with red-heads.
