Israeli Minister: Obama is Throwing Israel Under the Bus

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.
