Starting off her interview with newly reelected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell acknowledged his win – then told him how bad it was: "Prime Minister, congratulations on your victory. But – there's always a but – critics and analysts here and around the world are saying, 'At what cost?' Your hard turn right on the Palestinian issue, what you said about the Arab voters coming out in droves, they say, are costing you, costing you support around the world."
Netanyahu pushed back on her assertions: "Well, neither one is – the premises in your questions are wrong. I haven't changed my policy....What has changed is the reality. Abu Mazen, the Palestinian leader, refuses to recognize the Jewish state, he's made a pact with Hamas that calls for destruction of the Jewish state."
Moments later, Mitchell cited a series of liberal pundits bashing the Israeli leader:
Words have meaning. Tom Friedman wrote today, "They must have been doing high fives in Tehran when they saw how low Bibi sank to win. What better way to isolate Israel globally and deflect attention from Iran's behavior?" Joe Klein in Time magazine called it "bigotry." Jeffrey Goldberg said that it would be "calamitous," the way you talked about Arab voters and they way you talked about not going for a Palestinian state.
Netanyahu dismissed the nasty the accusations: "First of all, I'm very proud to be the prime minister of all of Israel's citizens, Arabs and Jews alike." Mitchell interrupted: "That's not the way it sounded on election day." Netanyahu continued: "Well, if you hear what I said you might reconsider what you just said and what you quoted."

Did her husband tell her to say that?
Libtards are not living in this reality.
Something tells me Bibi can handle Andrea Mitchell.
Like all liberal women, Andrea Mitchell is stomach-turning ugly. I had to avert my eyes during the interview with Bibi when her hideous face was on the screen.
He would have been so much better off if he had lost! Sadly, he won a great victory. I bet he’s really sorry about that. [/s]
Yes she definitely has a radio face.
Something about Andrea Mitchell seems ... evil.
Bibi lives rent free in the liberals heads, like a worm drilling into their little brains.
What would it cost Bibi to get Andrea Mitchell’s support?
She keeps a Nazi uniform and riding crop in the closet for hubby Alan when the mood strikes her.
Bibi should have explained to her what the cost of a loss would have been.
“Bibi lives rent free in the liberals heads”
Well it’s an expansive rental with nothing in it inside Andrea’s head.
What a disgusting visual....
“What would it cost Bibi to get Andrea Mitchell’s support?”
Don’t know about her specifically, but the hatred and self-righteousness of the left is such that there is literally nothing he could do, including suicide, that would win their empathy or understanding, let alone support.
I’m disappointed that Bibi gave this bitch an opening. You’d think he’d know better.
BB should have ended the interview with “You know, we really have excellent plastic surgeons in Israel, Andrea.”
Greenspan is no looker but he has money. He could have done so much better. Maybe a sweet ugly woman? But ugly and bitter?
She’s positively magic when she puts it on and belts out “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” with a Bavarian lilt.
The first time I saw Benjamin Netanyahu was in 1979. He was discussing the Iranian Hostage crises on "Nightline" with Ted Koppel. Now i've watched Ted Koppel just rip his guests apart plenty of times, but that night was the first time I ever saw anyone tear Ted Koppel apart.
Koppel was being his usual arrogant and condescending self, and "Bibi" was having none of it. Before it was over, Koppel was nearly speechless and very subdued.
That's when I knew I was gonna like this guy a lot. :)
