Be'er Sheva bank - AFP

Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahu must set red lines on his malice toward Obama. And soon.

If deadlines are in order, Netanyahu might consider his upcoming U.S. visit as an opportune moment to shut down entirely the verbal centrifuges he has set spinning in attacks on the president.

Rep. Paul Ryan addresses the RNC

GOP Jews and chutzpah: Rebranding Romney-Ryan as the 'tikkun olam' ticket

circumcision May 15, 2011.

I hate the idea of circumcision. But if they ban it, God help us all

South Africa shop - Bloomberg

South Africa is right. Labeling Israeli settler products is truth in advertising.

The decision to label products from the territories strikes with elegant nonviolence at the Netanyahu government’s single most cherished goal: obliterating for all time the Green Line border.

Ramadan - AP - 19.8.2012

Islamophobia, not Islam, will be the end of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chairs the weekly cabinet meeting on Aug. 12, 2012.

Mr. Netanyahu, before you bomb Iran, say goodbye to everyone you know

When the war is under way, it won't matter why you insisted on pursuing this; whether it was a bluff that went ballistic, or a tragic thirst for a place in history.

Sad bibi

Netanyahu is praying that Israelis won't say 'Yes We Can'

Perhaps, at this point in his life, Netanyahu has decided that winning a confrontation with Iran isn't everything, it's the only thing.

James Holmes, left, the suspected gunman in the Colorado theater massacre
