Virtually the entire rest of the planet has criticized the Israeli government for settlement expansions, but recent quotes in the press in which Obama termed Netanyahu’s policies as risking isolation have sparked a furious backlash from the Likud Party.
Likud officials railed against Obama for “gross interference” in the elections, which are scheduled for a week from today. Environmental Minister Gilad Erdan also condemned the columnist for quoting Obama, saying he was pushing a “far-Left” agenda.
Officials suggested that the move was “revenge” on Obama’s part for Netanyahu’s open endorsements of Gov. Mitt Romney and criticism of Obama’s reluctance to start a war with Iran ahead of the November’s US vote. Netanyahu was criticized by rivals for being outspokenly pro-Romney ahead of the vote, saying it risked a backlash if Obama eventually won.
Likud MP Danny Danon downplayed the significance of the column, however, saying that the columnist had a “right” to write the article since he’s Jewish, and that Obama’s criticism was just likely to give the Likud-Beiteinu list more seats in the vote at any rate.
The sooner the Israeli people realize they will get nothing from the U.S. if Netanyahu remains prime minister and their nation continues to be guided by Likud policies, the sooner they'll give the boot to the bum. He is the number one existential threat in the region and it's time to say sayonara.
The POT calling the KETTLE black.
they are absolutely right the us should stop interfering in israeli politics
first lets stop interfering in the Israeli budget by cutting out the 3 billion+
Note the inherent Jewish Racism that permeates this kerfuffle. Bibi has the right to participate in the American election [because he is Jewish]. Obama has no right to try to affect the Israeli election [because he is not Jewish]. The columnist has a right to report on this [because he is Jewish] which implies that another columnist would not have the right to do so [if he were not Jewish].
America got out of the Racism business in the US with the Civil Rights Act. It is time to get out of the Racism business in Israel. All support for Zionism should be terminated. If Mississippi rednecks cannot hate Negroes and be considered respectable, why should Jews be allowed to hate the Christians and Muslims of Palestine, and, indeed, all Christians and Muslims everywhere, in polite society.
Anyone expressing support for the Racism central to Zionism and support for Israel should be met with a turned back and isolation. Jewish Racism is no more acceptable than that of the Nazis. American boys did not storm the beaches of Normandy so that Jews could steal land from Christians and Muslims. Support for Israeli Racism dishonors the ideals invoked in WWII and the world supposed inaugurated at the end of that conflict that justified their sacrifices.
Now that is chutzpah!
Suggest whatever reasons you like, it's clear Obama really, really, doesn't like Bibi. And that's gotta be motivator no.1.
THE WORLD DISLIKES BIBI, or haven't you realized that yet?
And Netanyahu's pro-Romney commercials weren't?
hahaha one good turn deserves another. Maybe Likud should have thought of that and told B. Netty to shut his cake hole knowing that the Israeli elections were only a couple of months after the U.S.
And Obama will soon appologise?!?!, probably by Billions of dollars to this Truly Evil place in Palestine called Israel.
Mankind should really UNITE QUICKLY against this Visible Satanic organization on Earth, Zionism has be defeated with force if neccesary…no more reasoning please "what Israel this or that, what Israel thinks"etc…its nonsense and dead end. Place was build by terrorism, its birtplace of modern day terrorism, remains biggest sponsor of terrorism, most rasist place……Truth Judaism would not get involved into this Blashemy, only Zionst version of Judaism can replace strict Gods comandment about disapora, disregard "HIM" and build state anyway …on piles of slotered native people….
There was no such terrorism in ME or World before Zionism started its reign in terror in ME, there was relative harmony and love among people in ME, there was respect to Judaism, there was not so called Islamic terrorism…Let ask ourself: "What good brought creation of Israel to people in ME"? "WHAT"? Answer: "NOTHING "!!!! Only wars of destruction and pernament preparednes for wars!
So, let us move to pharse 2 and disolve this Embarising Entity and when disarmed mainly of its illegal arsenal of WMD, change its name and status to " Israel-Province of Palestine" with UN and Arab force in charge. Result can only be positive for all. Zionist criminals will quickly leave and Truth Torah Jews will return and help build peace amoung remaining people…
Be honest everybody and say what you really NOW ! thing about this Mankinds Tragedy called Israel?? peter czech
Hopefully what he said in his inauguration can be done by his administration
