1. So What?!

At the time, Netanyahu was trying to usurp he foreign policy powers of the President of the United States, not a friendly act. That is interfering in the sovereignty of the USA. Any President who allowed such an invasion of US sovereignty as Netanyahu was attempted would be allowing a hostile foreign power to launch a coup against the US and our form of government.
2. Impossible to break RSA-coding..
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.30.15)
.. In 1977 Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman developed a crypto code with very high integer of 10. Later, it has been discovered the sender name can be revealed, but not the content... BIBI should get an IP-phone, or connect his mobile through secure IP-phone.
3. Which begs... who are the NSA's Hebrew speakers?

kind of. Not a big deal. Still friends.
5. Obama is a truly vile man
C   (12.30.15)
he not only spies on netanyahu and the entire military; he not only leaks highly classified israeli netional security secrets; he not only gifts the shia terror regime hundreds of billions of dollars and the right to keep its nuclear weapons program, but obama spies on members of congress and on leaders of the american jewish community. it goes beyond a supposition that obama blackmailed certain members of congress and american jewish leadership in his attempt to impose a highly unpopular nuclear deal on america. the spying on those individuals most likely gave obama the needed information for blackmail. obama did not present the deal as a treaty since he knew that the senate would not ratify it. rather, the us state department has admitted that this deal is a "political commitment" which is not legally binding. hence, any future president can disown it and so can iran. indeed, iran has already violated the deal. obama's obsession with the deal has already resulted in the rise of the islamic state, the russian military presence in syria, in the destruction of relations with sunni arab states, america's traditional allies, the near destruction of relations with israel, america's closest ally in the middle east. however, the most egregious act of obama was spying on members of congress and on leaders of the american jewish community, in violation of laws and of the constitution. any other president would be impeached.

Your post demonstrated you have no clue how the US government is structured or who runs US foreign policy. You obviously don't care about American interests when they diverge from your right wing politics. There are courses available in US government structure and how it was designed to work. The US has Presidential System, not a Parliamentary system. Google the terms if you like.
7. You would and they should
US citizen ,   US   (12.30.15)
Mr Netanyahu is God's man of the moment. Knowing someone is listening provides opportunity that the listener be played. If humanity is going to be about killing humans, might as well kill us all. It's the true and living God who is our primary concern, not the mere humans that kill us or wanna.
8. Nooooo President would do a thing like that

your posts are so irrational that they deserve no response.
13. US put a cyber implant into Israeli security network
C   (12.30.15)
this act by the obama regime is a hostile act against the jewish state. it is the sort of act that the ussr engaged in against the united states.

**The $150 billion is not a gift. It is Iranian property, not American property, not Israeli property. **When national security of the US is at stake, NSA has broad powers under the USA Patriot Act. **No blackmail was involved. You simply don't get the US System and the concept of Presidential power. **The Iranian deal is not a treaty. It is a deal between the P5+1 and Iran under the NPT. **Russia has been in Syria since 1971, when Obama was 10 years old. You have really drunk the Cool-Aid. **Nixon was almost impeached for obstruction of Justice. Clinton was impeached for his intimate life. Andrew Johnson was impeached for allowing hundreds of thousands of white Southerners to live. Monitoring contacts with foreign powers is a national security issue responsibility of the POTUS, not impeachable.
