Obama may have one more campaign opponent to overcome – Netanyahu

He appears to think that he represents worldwide Jewry. He doesn't. He only represents ISrael. Actually, he only represents Israeii rightists.

Benjamin Netanyahu and he's bullies must pay hard for their arrogance attitude towards Obama.

And who will head Israel if not Netanyahu? Tzipi Livni? These times call for a leader precisely like Bibi. Israel must not play the part of the meek Diaspora Jew to please Obama. Look what he did to his Cairo host of 2008, Mubarak.

Netanyahu sided with the losers. Now he has to deal with the winners. And they know in which camp he was.

The sad thing about what appears as an open discourse in Israel about American and Israeli politics is that it becomes self perpetuating, gossip driven and harmful background noise Politicking for the sake of journalistic economic gain is not the sam as reporting politics for the sake of information and truth.

Many Israelis and American Christians know that God is always on the side of His people. Israel will become a non-favored nation of the US, unfortunately, because John's Revelations says God has seen all nations turning against them before He comes. However, the Almighty God will prevail in protecting His people. Israel should know that even if Obama fails to remain on Israel's side, that the Holy Administration will see to it that America will crumble. Being an American means that I fear for my child's future in what socialist, ego-centric, blasphemous state we are becoming. Turning away our diplomatic ties with Israel will be our country's fall from God's grace. God help the USA.

to the table

Netanyahu is nothing but an extortionist out of control.

Bradley I think you have half the picture. Bibi never saw this one coming and he's about to find out who the super power is. To publicly humiliate the USA president means you either have a brilliant statesman or a fool. I think we all know the answer to that one. The only thing we don't know is the price Bibi will pay for his stupidity

This article is irrelevant and stupid. It is another knee- jerk anti- Netanyahu 'Haaretz' effort. Netanyahu congratulated Obama who he will hopefully have to deal with in the next four years to come.

even more Americans will be happy to Israel less parasitic on the US

That's what you do to an American President who shows you the back door or are you all so deluded you have already forgotten?

This time Netanyahu laid a real Bibi in his nest. Obama is not dependant on the Jewish vote for re-election. Obama can afford to stop aid to the the neighbors of Israel. This would free them up to vent their frustration directly with Israel at the same time not having to answer to the USA. Obama could inform the US public about the dealings with Israel and the danger is causes to our relations with our Arab partners. Obama can afford to ignore Netanyahu and when he tries to push on his various contacts within the congress expose them also. I really think that Netanyahu has never taken the time to understand Obama. Romney had Shelden Adelson funding him and this did not help him to win. Many in the USA are aware of the direct attempt by Netanyahu to stop Obama. What Netanyahu is not aware of is this is not his average Goy. This is Barrack Obama from Chicago and this game Bibi is a bit too old to understand. Look at Romney.

Netanyahu...SUCA!

When we go to the polls in January, ones who think of voting for Netanyahu should keep the following in mind: 1- It is a first in Political history of the modern world that the government of country of 7 million very actively tried(unsucessfully) to affect the elections in a country of 300 million 2- Netanyahu almost explicitely said "elect Romney". And as a result if the relected present will have some animosity towards Netanyahu and if the Israeli-USA relations suffer the one who is to blame is Bibi. Hopefully this will not happen since Obama is a wise statesman. 3-Why does Netanyahu and half the Israeli public believe that an American president will act on Israel wishes/aspirations if those are against Amerin people's interest? It is crazy! 4- Bibi tried to force, and in the process embarras Obama, by forcing him to draw a red line against Iran 1-2 months before Presidential Elections. All those mistakes against Obama has been made by someone who is fluent in English, knows the American politiocal scene(supposedly), has been previously Orime Minister, Foreign Minister and Israeli representative in the UN and have sold furniture in USA I am not a religious person but Gd. help us iif the duet Bibi/Lieberman win the elections!
