Obama's all-out, guns blazing, no-holds-barred charm offensive on Israel's unsuspecting public

Obama’s speech was so pro-Israeli that even AIPAC maidens blushed. The president didn’t miss a trick, used every PR shtick in the book and invented some ploys of his own.

Obama Peres children

Netanyahu meets Mitt Romney in Jerusalem - Reuters - July 29, 2012

The eeeny-meeny-miny-mo of parallel U.S. and Israeli elections

Amidst the possible permutations of Republican/Democrat and Bibi/Leftie, a surprise beckons: Obama is the only U.S. president in the past four decades who hasn’t had a plan for peace.

By Chemi Shalev | Oct 11, 2012 | 10:07 PM

Romney delivers foreign policy speech - AFP - Oct. 8, 2012

The Romney foreign policy speech: Sounds like Bush, reads like Obama

The Republican candidate’s address in Virginia offered a dramatic change of tone in U.S. policies but only minute variations on substance.

Barack Obama speaks during his debate

The Glee on Fox and the Gloom on MSNBC reflected a rare consensus: Romney won, hands down

Romney’s overwhelming and Obama’s underwhelming performances in the Denver debate were strikingly similar to the 1996 Peres-Bibi showdown.

Obama and Romney - AP

'Bibi, look me in the eye' and other Israeli pointers for the Obama-Romney debates

Israel gave up on televised debates after most incumbents concluded that they have little to gain and the world to lose from the rhetorical duel with their rivals.

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney (L) meets with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu

Republicans who worry about Mitt Romney can only dream of Netanyahu

In his UN speech, Looney Tunes bomb diagram and all, Benjamin Netanyahu showed once again why he might have been the perfect Republican candidate to take on Barack Obama.

By Chemi Shalev | Sep 28, 2012 | 07:41 PM | 14

A visitor looks at portraits of Ahmadinejad and Netanyahu

At UN, Netanyahu needs to repair his own power of deterrence

While pressing the case against Iran, the Israeli PM needs to step back from his confrontation with Obama and his perceived support for Romney, who increasingly seems like a candidate whose political future is behind him.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu, in damage control mode, enlists JFK and American football in calling for 'red lines' on Iran

Telling comment by columnist Jeffrey Goldberg on NBC: I have never seen an Israeli PM who has so mismanaged Israeli-US relations.

By Chemi Shalev | Sep 16, 2012 | 10:26 PM | 14

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Romney stumbles over Libya killings, but Obama is vulnerable in the long run

The repugnant film “Innocence of Islam” is unworthy of Romney’s defense; let’s hope it has nothing to do with Jews.

By Chemi Shalev | Sep 12, 2012 | 10:48 PM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets U.S. President Barack Obama at the United Nations

Even if he’s got a point, Obama is wrong to snub Netanyahu

Netanyahu has given Obama ample grounds for mistrust and suspicion, but refusing to meet him will only make matters worse.

Barack Obama 9/11 AP 11.9.2010

The ghost of Osama Bin Laden and the spirit of 9/11
