Israeli Minister: Obama is Throwing Israel Under the Bus

obama and netanyahu

The Israeli government had a variety of responses to Jeffrey Goldberg’s slimy Atlantic article which quoted anonymous Obama officials calling Netanyahu a “coward” and “chickens__t”.

The simplest statement came from Netanyahu’s office.

“Netanyahu will continue to uphold the security interests of the citizens of Israel and the historical rights of the Jewish people in Jerusalem. No pressure will change that.”

Naftali Bennett, the Minister of the Economy, and the leader of the conservative party in the coalition, had a more vocal response.

“The United States administration is planning to throw Israel under the bus,” Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday night, responding to harsh words against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu which were attributed to senior officials in the Obama administration.

“Israel is stronger than all those who curse it,” said Bennett, after Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic quoted officials in Washington as having described Netanyahu as “chickens**t”, among other things.

“Neither the leader of Syria, who has slaughtered 150,000 of his citizens, nor the leader of Saudi Arabia, who stones women and gays, have been called ‘chickens**t. If what is written is true, then the current administration intends to throw Israel under the wheels of the bus,” he said.

“Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and it has struggled for its existence over the past 66 years. Israel is the vanguard of the free world against the Islamic terrorism of ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran,” noted Bennett.

“Instead of attacking Israel and forcing suicide conditions upon it, it should be strengthened.  I call upon the U.S. administration to renounce these abusive remarks and reject them outright,” he concluded.

The odds of that happening would seem to be low. But the whole thing does remind me of what I wrote about Goldberg in the past.

I think most people like sewer pipes. The problem is broken sewer pipes. A working sewer pipe carries waste away. A broken sewer pipe carries it to.

A civilization depends on working sewer pipes. But when the media goes into “sewer pipe revolutionist” mode and begins   carrying its own waste into civilization, instead of away from it, then civilization is endangered and needs to replace the broken sewer pipelines with sewer pipes that carry away waste, instead of manufacturing it and spreading it.

Goldberg is a broken sewer pipe. So is his boss, Barry.

    Goldberg is … a broken sewer pipe. Perfect.

    This entire administration is a network of broken sewer pipes. And their policies are effluent.
    We used to say that the DC swamp needed to be drained; now it needs to be flushed.

      Very well put.

        Thank you. The way they are going there will be nothing salvageable. Best just to lay in new pipes!!

    Thank Senator and President Obama for bringing the idea of funding Iron Dome to Congress. No telling how many lives he saved.

    With Israel getting cozier and closer to Russia—I am not surprised that this has finally come to a head. After all, can Obama work with a country that is also working with Russia? I say no…because the desires of the USA and of Russia are in diametric opposition.

      One should ask why Israel feels a need to improve ties to Russia. If the current administration were not such idiots about Israeli policy maybe that need would not exist.

      • mollysdad

        Israel needs to improve ties to Russia because no Israeli can trust a POTUS who’s a Muslim Brother from another mother.

        Israel-Russia ties, however, could perpetuate a vicious cycle. Staying in the region, you see that Obama thinks of Bashar Hafez al-Assad in Syria as a term that rhymes with map…and doesn’t really think too muchof Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Egypt either…both are allied with Russia. If Israel is making overtures with Russia, is it possible that Obama is thinking that Israel can’t be trusted as an ally any longer because Netanyahu might pass on strategy to Vladimir Putin? Such would take a long time to heal, given that Obama’s view of Russia is likely shared by most of the Democratic Party as well.

          Obama needs to develop a sense of introspection and try to understand why Israel might be interested in developing relations with Russia. The problem is in his mind he can do no wrong, so, to him, it isn’t his actions that are the cause of this. If Obama had not been so intent on sucking up to the Muslim Brotherhood and had realized that the ties the US had in the region due to very hard work by previous administrations were in everyone’s best interest this situation might not exist. But, Obama is full of himself and refuses to believe that his ideas might not be the best.

    Someone recently commented that nothing seems to work with this President and his administration. I predict this will inspire a new category on a future Jeopardy! episode – “Famous Jacklegs”. “I’ll take ‘Famous Jacklegs’ for $400.”

    A broken sewer is perfectly in line with my analogy of media using the information well spring we all draw from for information and knowledge as their personal toilet into which on a daily basis each and every day of the year they dump massive quantities of factual urine and feces.
    This entire administration, the State Department and the media are a vast network of broken sewer pipes.

    Amen.

    Can someone please post a side-by-side picture of Netanyahu from his days as a soldier and Obama on his nerdy-bike wearing a safety helmet?

  • truebearing

    The Obama/Soros Left is getting edgy over the string of recent failures. Ebola and ISIS have unified Americans, Left and Right, against the national suicide they had planned. Total power is close…they can’t let go of the ring of power…it is their “precious”.

    • The March Hare

      “Ebola and ISIS have unified Americans”

      And I would add the open borders as well.

      Great Smeagol analogy!
