. . . . . . . Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has responded in a masterful manner to Obama’s unanticipated Middle East policy statement [on last Thursday - jds] – presented without prior consultation on the eve of the Israeli leader’s arrival in Washington – hardly how one would expect the US leader to relate to its “close ally,” an embattled nation.
Sensitive of the imperative to avoid antagonizing the American public by openly humiliating its president, Netanyahu exercised his diplomatic talent and communication skills by providing a restrained response, and outlining why Israel simply could not afford to adopt some of Obama’s recommendations. Our leader’s remarks to the press after meeting with the president, his address to AIPAC, and his brilliant presentation to the joint session of Congress represented a tour de force and made most Israelis feel extremely proud.
What made Obama’s “ambush” especially galling was that only a few days earlier, Netanyahu had delivered a major Knesset policy speech signaling to the US president that beyond the settlement blocs and Jerusalem, Israel was prepared to make further territorial concessions, subject only to the caveat that the Palestinians demonstrate a genuine willingness to negotiate toward a final settlement and disengage from their new genocidal partners. . . . . Read the full article here at the Jerusalem Post.
Contrast this article with a biased and Left leaning piece found in the NY Times (where else ?? !!) entitled "Israelis see Netanyahu trip as diplomatic failure." The fact of the matter is this: Netanyahu was absolutely brilliant. He was profoundly diplomatic with our novice president, not insulting as many radical Marxist Media types have claimed. And he was powerful in his rhetoric . . . . . . more so by far than Mr. Obama. And, more to point, he is fully supported by the Israeli people. Understand that only 6% of Israelis see Obama as pro-Israel.
Understand that while Netanyahu avoided humiliating the president of the United States, Obama did a bang up job of humiliating our country, on his own, as he spoke out against the Bush agreement regarding the Holy Land and the 67 borders. Know this: the so-called "right of return" is forever trumped by the "right of conquest." Israel did not start the 67 war. Not at all. In fact, the purpose of that war, from the Palestinian point of view, was to annihilate Israel. Israel smelled out the coming attack and defeated the three-nation alliance in 6 days. The land in question went to the victors -- Israel.
Israel should never give that land back and Obama should keep his mouth shut if he cannot do a better job of "conflict resolution." OF COURSE, Israel cannot negotiate with Hamas and the terrorist driven Palestinian forces seeking "recognition." One would think that Obama knows this, but, apparently not. Maybe he should just come back home before he further embarrasses our nation.
Ooooops, too late for that. Yesterday, Obama toasted the Queen of England while playing the American National Anthem in the background. Geeeeesh. Next thing you know, he will be giving her a rack of CD's that cannot be played in England and return Winston Churchill's bust without explanation or fanfare. Ooooops, he has already done this, as well.
OK !!! Someone just tell him to get his skinny little butt home, period. As long as he is campaigning, he is not humiliating our country in the eyes of the world.
