JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's under fire because he won't compromise the safety of Israel.
"When there is pressure on Israel to give up on its security, the easiest thing is to give up," Arutz Sheva quoted Netanyahu's response at the Knesset.
"As prime minister, I stand for the security of Israel," he continued. "The life of every single citizen and soldier matters to me, and I am not prepared to make comprises that will endanger our country."
"Our interests are not on the minds of those who attack us -- or me -- personally," he said. "The attack on me comes because I defend the State of Israel and despite all the attacks, I will continue to defend our country and the citizens of Israel."
He added that he respects and values Israel's relations with the United States.
"The strategic alliance between the countries continues and will continue," he said.
Those were his first public remarks after The Atlantic quoted a senior Obama administration official calling Netanyahu a word that starts with "chicken."
The official told The Atlantic the good thing about Netanyahu was that he was afraid to launch wars, but the bad thing was he won't reach an accommodation with the Palestinian Authority or Sunni Arab states. Another White House official called Netanyahu a coward on a nuclear Iran and said he won't launch a pre-emptive strike.
Israeli Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett called on the Obama administration to "immediately reject these gross comments."
"The prime minister of Israel is not a private person. He is the leader of the Jewish state and the entire Jewish people. Cursing the prime minister and calling him names is an insult not just to him but to the millions of Israeli citizens and Jews across the globe," Bennett wrote.
"The leader of Syria, who slaughtered 150,000 people, was not awarded the name 'chickens---,'" Bennett continued. "Neither was the leader of Saudi Arabia who stones women and homosexuals or the leader of Iran who murders freedom protestors."
"If what appears in the press is true, then it seems that the current U.S. administration is throwing Israel under the bus," Bennett wrote.
"Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East and has been fighting 66 years to survive," he continued.
"Israel is at the forefront of the free world's fight against the Islamic terror of ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran. Instead of attacking Israel and putting it at risk, the world should be strengthening and supporting it."
The table sure is set. Go here to see the advance of Christianity in some parts of the world... just sent me by a FRiend:

IBTZ! Thanks for the ping, Grand Inquisitor. I look forward to roasting marshmallows over this troll’s pyre. Dibs on one of your trident tines.
It should be fairly entertaining when he does.

Just found this. Worth reading.
‘Op-Ed: Netanyahu is no Coward, but Obama is a Liar
The real reason Israel did not attack Iran is just part of it.’

Don’t see that happening, but I’ve been wrong before.
True.
> Israeli Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett... “The leader of Syria, who slaughtered 150,000 people, was not awarded the name ‘chickens-—,’” Bennett continued. “Neither was the leader of Saudi Arabia who stones women and homosexuals or the leader of Iran who murders freedom protestors.”
That takes pretty big balls to undermine an Ally like Israel. If Obama will do that to Israel, he’d probably let a terrorist nuke a major city in America, and get away with it.
Don’t underestimate this man. This is pure straight from the Bible anti-christ stuff. I hope Mossad is on this.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever said it ends up in some type of “accident.” God please let us suffer these men no longer.
It’s also interesting “66 years”, didn’t realize that. Because Obama is the closest to the “anti-christ” the world has ever seen. Hitler is a close first, however, Israel was not a sovereign nation then, and really killed Jews and anyone that wasn’t a believer in the Third Reich and German purity.
Obama is pretty much hostile to anyone who believes in the Christian God, and Israel alone. A lover of sin.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama, and Kerry have said much worse to his face. A real leader would laugh. He probably has multiple times. Guaranteed. To be a fly on the wall in the Obama camp would be entertaining, and probably make me s@$% myself all over.
Dude.
Bibi shits bigger than that pussy in the White House.
And after 4 months when he’d had enough, he scrammed.
Though I believe he was actually kicked out of the Navy, but had the Patrician’s hide to get Carter to open up a nation-wide discharge upgrade process.
Is there some kind of head wound we should be looking for?
It might be the ears.
Hmmm, like those Hamas tunnels.
Bears repeating:
“Israel is at the forefront of the free world’s fight against the Islamic terror of ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran. Instead of attacking Israel and putting it at risk, the world should be strengthening and supporting it.”
But Obismo and his crowd of fellow nationalist/socialist psychopomps are whores for the Saudis.
BTTT!
