Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya´alon is apologizing for the second time in two months about critical statements he made against the U.S. government. In the wake of tremendous anger in Washington, a telephone call between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a personal talk with the prime minister, Ya´alon told his American counterpart, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, that there was no defiance, criticism or intention to hurt the United States or Israel´s relations with its ally with his words.

Poor “Old Bolt Neck”/ “Mashed Potatoes Face” got his feelings hurt? GFY Kerry boy, you cowardly treasonous punk!
Apologies? I can get ‘em for you, wholesale.
Why apologize for speaking the truth.
Very not guilty.
Reason enough right there not to give any of their publications, articles or tweets any credence or consideration at all, IMO.
Your mileage may vary..
I see some misinformation and sloppy reporting here.
Here is what Ya’alon actually said.

Well we know he isn’t up to handling Putin.
I call America “weak” these days and I’m American fercryinoutloud. And feckless and cowardly.
But you knew as soon as the Jerusalem Post et al aired the White Hut’s “we’re SHOCKED” push-back that the Israeli’s would have to start walking it back some.
Ostinko would never have the balls to say anything like that to Putin. Or Iran. Or Syria. Or China..

Ya’alon wasn’t calling America weak, he was saying that its leadership had a feeble response to Russian invasion.
I see freezing some Oligarchs personal accounts as a response to and invasion as kind of feeble for a superpower.
Look, he got a truthful comment out to the world. That’s powerful. So what if he has to offers a forced apology later? We know he meant it when he said it...
If the shoe fits....
Well actually when your reading tweets you’re just that...their remarks. But you’re right, these often reveal who liberals are and otherwise.
