This is the important point. BiBi can "loathe" Obama...and we can understand why....but BiBi should have kept this a better secret.
Everyone knew Obama was not a proponent of Israel, but I believe Obama could have been placated by a Netanyahu "charm offensive".
But instead of a charm offensive Netanyahu chose a lecture offensive. During their first meeting in the oval office Netanyahu used the media to publically lecture (humiliate) Obama about the importance of not returning to the 1967 borders.
Obama looked PISSED. Everyone saw it ... but Netanyahu continued.
Many on this site applauded Netanyahu's public lecture and Obama's recoil. But I cringed. Not because what Netanyahu was saying was wrong....but because he was publically humiliating the President of the United States...a humiliation that this particular president would not forget.
A strategic blunder by Netanyahu set in stone the relationship between these two men. The only reason to care is that the nation state of Israel will pay the price for this.
Big strategic mistake, Bibi. A big mistake.
So do I[loathe Obama] So tell BiBi not to feel like the Lone Ranger.
... Take a number, pal ...
Indeed.
What support?
I wish I knew how to post a picture. I’d go with Jon McLane looking out the smashed window
And in agreement with well over 50 percent of American voters, at this point in history.
Obama's character was there for everyone to see. He demands submission, or he is, as you say "pissed". He is also anti-Israel.
Bibi represents the people of Israel. He cannot submit to Obama's anti-Israeli policy. He must strongly represent his nation, as most of his predecessors have.
Putin needed to make the same decision about Obama years ago. He too made the right strategic decision.
The only way a "charm offensive" works with Obama is if you are a fellow traveller, i.e. an Islamic socialist.
I would hate to see the outcome for the State of Israel from your approach.
What’s not to loath.....
So does half of America and most of the rest of the world.
Does that make him an honorary American?
very good analysis.
Note that Herzog was part of Netanyahu’s government not very long ago. The Socialist Establishment in Israel still dominates the bureaucracy, including Mossad. They are not as rational as one might think.
He’s got lots of company..
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “loathes” Barack Obama,”!
Pretty much sums up how I feel about the poser fag.
I feel the exact same way! I don’t even hate Clinton. I don’t hate Carter. I disagree with some of what they did but I don’t feel my blood boiling when I see them like I do with Obama. In fact, I have never felt hate for anyway like I do for Obama. And I feel the same way about anyone who defends or praises him. I think they are lying or just idiots or both. Cannot stand to talk to anyone who defends him.
I wish we would divide into two separate countries. That is the only answer.
Bibi doesn’t need to worry. God won’t allow anything to happen to Israel that he doesn’t have planned. One of God’s most powerful angels watches that place constantly.
It never pays to charm or otherwise suck up to evil men, it never works out.
The same needs to happen with Western Canada, perhaps we can work this all out.
Give us Bibi for a year and we'll give you Obama for a year.
There ya have it! Israel wouldn't exist after the end of the year.
It's pretty obvious the feeling is mutual.
Anyone with a sense of decency should loathe him.
