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."
Great comeback!
God is not mocked.
Hagel wants to bring in the Antichrist NWO. Lost fool, pray for him.

Hagel: “I think we are seeing a New World Order”

Don't forget ValJar,
the real boss of this administration that's full of...er...this!
Jewish vote went Obama.
It’s not like He didn’t know this was coming. It’s in His plan somehow. And it’s for His chldren’s good, whether we live here in America (or elsewhere) or whether we sleep in Christ.
He’s made sure promises to His children; promises you can invest your future in with a most-excellent guaranteed rate of return on investment.
Awww, does Bibi have hurt feelings?
Does he want lolly to make it feel better?
Christ, Bibi nut up — every whine you bleat out lowers you to the basest stereotype.
We have to send Bibi and apology note “We apologize for allowing a radical Muslim to become POTUS but it was not idea”
Hi Newbie, May 2014.
Thinking about the consequences to himself.
Dumbass. Defending Obola is really going to make you a lot of friends here. /s
I listened to him speak on the video link you gave....unfortunately he’s right about how the World stage itself is setting up for a NWO. ..and has been for some time.
Interesting how he mentioned China and Russia in one breath....yet he and other Government Representatives still do not see the “hand writing on the wall”, even when it comes from their own mouths!...They are lost and therefore “Blinded” to the obvious.
It is striking to see how Gov. Leaders and those pushing us into a NWO believe they are personally responsible for this ‘staging’ of events....they do not see the real war behind it, nor can they.
There are even times when as believers we are astounded by the events unfolding in our time, that they would be moving so rapidly ...and that’s just in what we see and is reported, there is much not.
Fools they are indeed....yet they believe what they are doing because they believe first they have the answers and of course because they know they operate primarily behind the scenes...hidden among the “reeds” like snakes in the grass.
....”It’s going to require coalitions of common interests, which we are forming,” Netanyahu added”....
Currently he’s the only reason these compromises have not happened. As we know the time will come when Israel will do so to their own hurt but as long as Netanyahu remains in office he’s the “stop” from that happening....at least for now.
Christ, Bibi nut up — every whine you bleat out lowers you to the basest stereotype.
Hey newbie troll, Netanyahu is probably the greatest leader in the Middle East in modern history.
There are a limited number of reasons that you would criticize him:
A. You are an Obama-loving troll.
B. You are a run-of-the-mill anti-Semite (possibly a Ron/Rand Paul supporter).
C. Both of the above.
Either way, I suspect a rather forceful dose of ozone in the very near future for you.
” probably the greatest leader in the Middle East in modern history.”
That doesnt mean he is not whining
Congress is currently functioning in preventing Obama from doing all he could be doing....which is why he's resorted to Executive Privilege...so I'll give them that. But it's not “working” otherwise as it's intended purpose is.
“All he needs to say is”
How about, “Put yourself in for any Purple Hearts lately, Ensign Band-Aid?”
Here's the thing troll, there is such a thing as decorum in international diplomacy. A real president would know that, Zero doesn't.
The prime minister of an American ally has every right to be upset when the President doesn't seem to mind that one of his aides is calling the ally a chickenshit.
I'm fairly certain that NOBODY in Zero's inner circle would have the guts to say it to Netanyahu's face. This is just another instance of how Zero treats our most trusted and loyal allies.
I notice you still are evading my original observation that you are either an Obama-lover, an anti-Semite or both. Regardless, you are a troll.
