How can one give credit to Netanyahu. when he has consistently lied to the American administration throughout most of his career ?

In answer to previous comment, you give Netanyahu credit because he is nowhere near the liar that Barack Obama is and Bibe has shown the US respect while Obama shows Israel none. It is very difficult to show dignity and respect to someone who treats you like trash.

Daum says that there was something wrong with the timing of the Ramat Shlomo announcement. Nothing is further from the truth. See how Biden was not insulted when the Arabs honored a terrorist a day after his visit. Biden came with the intention of condemning Israel. If Netanyahu had shut down the country and let no Jew talk, Biden would have condemned the food he got or the color of Netanyahu's shoes. Biden and Obama wanted to insult Netanyahu hoping to get a new government. Netanyahu's mistake was meeting Biden. After the 90 minute wait for dinner, Biden should have been served a Happy Meal and escorted to the airport by the lowest level diplomat available.

and standing in the eyes of the Arabs. Well, he can thank Bibi who obliged him and Hillary who rushed in to confirm that the pressure worked. The feelings between the two opposing parties remain the same but the mediator is feeling like the King of Peace. Bibi handled the matter well in light of the sticky situation. He had no choice against the bully who was looking for an opening and Yeshai handed it to him on a platter. Jerusalem belongs to the Jews historically, morally and by conquest and nobody has any right to tell Israelis where to build. If anyone does, it is political interference in Israel's internal affairs. Obama is crusading to carve up Jerusalem and will bully Israel to do so. But there are other more important matters at the moment so, I say Israel should put this behind and move on with the expectation that Obama will continue his bullying, because he knows you are small and vulnerable. Greater demands will be made on Israel soon. Obama DARES not treat others like this because he is a coward and a muslim at heart. Israel needs to remember it is dealing with a common street bully and hustler who has no qualms intimidating the vulnerable. The Arabs and many Americans have no respect for him and that is a fact. The Arabs will capitalize on his weaknesses including his arrogance and king-sized ego.

No Israeli minister sad an errant word against their American guests, yet it was deemed an "insult" deserving a savage beat-down. (Obama was said to be "rip sh*t" angry at Israel.) Yet today Secretary Clinton was in Russia and got a very public dressing down by Putin. She stood there, took it, then mumbled afterward something about "ongoing dialogue". Measure for measure, I guess... There's a line in Chapters of the Fathers about one who "whitens the face of [publicly humiliates] his fellow" getting no share in the world to come. Clinton and her crowd apparently know nothing of such concepts.

It was and has been amateur hour for the both of them. Bib, and Israel though, cannot afford to make mistakes or look foolish. Every time Ayalon and Lieberman open their mouths it shows the contempt this current administration has for foreign affairs. Does anyone in Israel think it can do completely without friends?

It is very important to face the truth about Obama. He is the most hostile US president Israel has ever faced. His snivelling behavior before Moslem leaders and hateful, contemptible behavior towards Israel is not that he's "carried away". Those are his true feelings. Despicable though they be. Most Americans are friends of Israel. Obama is not. That is the fact.

The blow up was not based on a single event or on an Obama bias. It is a problem that has been growing incrementally since. the Bibi coalition has steered a path that is diametrical from that of the American administration. If Israel tries to play in American politics they could become a political football. This could end in a gridlocked policy towards Israel, a potentially disastrous situation.

After this health care victory, he'll feel he truly has the wind in his sails, and the heat will be turned up. You ain't seen nothing up to this point. He won domestically, and now he will look to make his mark in the international arena. Batten down the hatches.

Yesterday, Obama did the impossible: turning America into a socialist country with his universal health care law. And he achieved it through bribes, corruption and political blackmail. There will now be an enormous effort to repeal the law and the November elections will see Democrats who voted for "Obamacare" replaced by Republicans. Before the November elections diminish his power, Obama will attempt to put another feather in his cap: Mideast peace. Except his priority is to create a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Barack Hussein Obama II , Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr. , George John Mitchell , and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton - decide to harm Israel : 1. They Don't let Israel attack Iranian nuclear weapons plants 2. They and others didn't stop Iran to get it... 3. They just giving Iran more time for more bombs 4.

After Mitchell and Biden visit they inflame the ARABS in Israel - as in every "peace process" - include OSLO - and you can see today the Arabs riots... OBAMA , Take your hands off Jerusalem ! Never was Palestinian nation - They are Arabs that have invaded/infiltrated/trickled into Israel under encouragement of the Ottoman and British occupiers but they, under these circumstances, have not become the owners. During 19 (1948-1967) years Part of Jerusalem , Judea and Samaria were taking by Jordon and since it back to Israel, and - Jordon and Israel have peace - So stop make incite between Arabs and Israelis. Sincerely, Don't you think that all Israeli Leftists politicians, USA, UN, Europeans - "PEACE" failed attempts - include: bring Yasser Arafat bring PLO and other Arab terrorists GIVE GUNS GIVE money and SUPPORT backup on every Arab terrorists actions in Israel ... MADE a murderous Arab willing possibile with means... COUNT WHAT AND HOW MANY terrorists actions before the Oslo agreement and AFTER. SHAME ON THEM ALL - THEIR HANDS cast blood of innocent civilians of Israel in busses, cafes, markets,etc. Since six day war in 1967 until Oslo agreement in 2000, wasn't shut even a single rocket. And in continue Rockets shutting were: Year # of Rockets from Gaza 2001 4 2002 35 2003 155 2004 281 2005 destroying GUSH KATIF and evacuation IDF from Philadelphi line (border between Gaza and Egypt) 2005 955 (mostly after evacuation) 2006 1,777 2007 2,807 2008 3,520 6. Arabs should go back to Arabia, Arab from Arabia , Jew / Jude from Judea. The people of Israel live in the land of Israel for more than the last 3500 years... If other subjugators / empires took control on the land of Israel - That is their problem ! IRAN WANT TO DESTROY ALL THE WORLD AND MAKE THE REMAINING SHIITE ! They sick and they will do it ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtP9KU7FuaY&feature=fvw They didn't care to waste about 1,000,000 soldiers during ~10 years war against Iraq - and won't care to waste more. He Shaheed , will have 72 virgins, next... 7. and guess what ? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/world/middleeast/07sanctions.html ... The federal government has awarded more than $107 billion in contract payments, grants and other benefits over the past decade to foreign and multinational American companies while they were doing business in Iran, despite Washington’s efforts to discourage investment there, records show. That includes nearly $15 billion paid to companies that defied American sanctions law by making large investments that helped Iran develop its vast oil and gas reserves. ... !!!!!!!!!!! http://www.illuminati-news.com/Articles/68.html

In many ways Bibi is a natural leader. He is highly intelligent, charismatic, photogenic. In short, Bibi has all the traits to be a great leader except courage. In the nonmilitary sense. Whenever our enemies or false friends lay on the pressure, Bibi almost invariably folds like a lawn chair. Bibi is likely the only world leader who fears Obama. Everyone else laughs at him. Bibi fears Obama so much, he's dumped Likud ideology and the election results in favour of the overwhelmingly defeated Labor and Meretz platform. They are the parties of settlement freezes and the Two State Final Solution. Not Likud. If Bibi fulfilled his mandate, he'd deserve lots of credit.

Obama/Clinton already know they're failures in the M.E so only BiBi can bring them any success. When in doubt, attack a "right-winger", put the pressure on him and maybe he'll collapse-but of course,he won't. That's what they'll soon find out. His son's a nice kid, the fraud squad can't seem to indict him and most importantly, he's one of the smartest and most principled politicians on the scene.He may even be the default leader of the free world since Obama/Clinton capitulated. I agree with Hanoch,(and you don't have to agree with BiBi's politics) but he's a true patriot to your country. I wish we could say the same for our "leaders".

Obama and Clinton are typical bullies. When you stand up to them, they act like slavish cowards. But show fear of them and they attack you like a pack of wolves. Most world leaders, such as Putin and the entire Moslem leadership, have only contempt for Obama. Obama pathetically responds to their contempt by practically begging them to be his friends. He bows to them literally. Bib must stop being afraid of Obama and stand up to him, like every other world leader. The worst course of action is to appease a bully.

How may teeth do you need kicked out, oh toothless one, before you realize Obama and his administration is an enemy of Israel. This diplomatic play was not incompetence it is design.

Thank god for PM NETANYAHU. He should remain firm against President Obama interference in Jerusalem in particular and Israel in general!!! Building in Jerusalem remains unconditional, never to be divided!!!
