In re the Thursday speech of Mr Obama regarding Israel:
Clearly, it’s the proverbial “tough love” for Israel with the exception, I proffer, that there is no love between Mr Obama and Israel. That said, where is the “tough love” for the Middle East? Acknowledgment that Israel is entirely surrounded by enemies (save the Mediterranean)? Mr Obama wants Israel to release the Golan Heights?
Mr Obama conveniently fails to mention the rockets faithfully and consistently launched by terror elements in the Gaza Strip, the fact that fully half the “Palestinian government” consists of Hamas — an organization completely devoted to the total eradication of Israel. Hamas refuses to even acknowledge the 1948 resolution of the creation of the state of Israel.
Obama: Borders of Israel, Palestine should be based on 1967 lines
Published: 05.19.11, 19:56 / Israel News “The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states,” President Barack Obama said in his speech. “The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state,” he added. (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
In an attempt to point out the obvious, I say: our Mr Obama cannot even manage the border of the United States to the south, with Mexico. And yet he deems it pertinent and important to re-write and manage the borders of Israel?

Bibi stand strong against Obama, Israel’s survival depends on your strength.
We can give up on Israel.
Or we can stand firm.

Since a candidate no longer needs to be a Natural Born Citizen to be elected president, I hope Bibi runs in the next primary. He’ll get my vote.
To The Honorable Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Nation of Israel, and all of my Jewish-American Friends; Please disregard the incoherent blathering of a tyrannical, treasonous, larcenous, lying puppet from Hell masquerading as the United States President. Our elected imbecile, Obama Bin Lyin’ does not speak for me, or many millions of Americans!
Hi Blo . . . The meeting with Bibi was a joke. America is (or has been) the best and only friend Israel has ever had. The Obama Administration is easily the most deadly enemy. But even Bibi is forced to make nice with our resident moron. Israel really NEEDS American support. Don’t you wonder what Bibi says when the White House is out of sight?

What Israel should say, Go ____ yourself.
Greybeard, what a concept, sir.
TF, I was listening to NBC portray Mr Neyanyahu addressing Obama, as they sat in their chairs in front of cameras, as “speaking down” to Mr Obama in an imperial fashion. Frankly, I haven’t seen an American president shamed like that, in public, for quite some time.
And our Mr Obama deserved every sentence, every syllable, that he received. I watch Obama looking proverbial DAGGERS at Netanyahu and the Israeli PM simply strode on. Good for him.
Obama DESERVED a dressing down such as he got for DARING to think he could dictate borders to another country when he can’t in the slightest seem to manage his OWN.
Dixon, yes indeed, it would have been interesting to wire up the “fly on the wall” in the Netanyahu residence that night, eh wot?
WSF: but Dixon is right; they can’t quite totally step away just yet.

Obama is worse than just an embarrassment to the U.S. he’s an ASS, in every sense of the word.
I’ll ditto what Fred said. Greybeard has a great Idea!
Just had an Idea! we should lead by example here, don’t ya think? what our emperor needs to do to win the war on terror is tell all terrorists that if they can prove they hate and want to kill Americans, He will deed them a section of land, 640 acres of their choice, here in the good ‘ol USA! then perhaps Israel will then follow our example and the world will have it’s kum-ba-ya moment and all of humanity will suddenly live in peace! either that or perhaps Americans will stop electing stupid F—ers like Obama. (a guy can dream, can’t he?)
