Netanyahu could have pulled his pants down and told Obama to you know what, and nothing would happen. Same with Putin. Same with China. The GOP openly disrespects him all the time.

It's humiliating because he lets others walk all over him without standing up for himself. Weak!

He does not....

He just doesn't rattle sabers unnecessarily.....this attack is weak.

this type of peace shaming.

The calm is what drives so many so mad.

nevermind Gandhi's immense peace achievements, then I'll make an apology thread in GD. Some progress towards a peace agreement, anything, not just another ceasefire after Israel gets tired of killing Palestinians.

He won't, though. He can't even condemn Israel for blowing up schoolchildren. There is no leadership at all on this, which is why the massacre continues uninterrupted.

It remains to be seen how they will deal with it...but, I don't think Obama didn't find that demeaning to be talked down to that way.

But, yes...I'd like to see Obama be a little more aggressive (given what's going on in Gaza) to put a collar on Bibi.

I don't agree with you about Putin. He's hardly talked to Obama like Netanyahu did. It's our agression about Ukraine that has Putin being put in a box...while Netanyau is Out of His Box and Agressively on a campaign to wipe out the innocents in Gaza.

So we see it a bit differently. But...fact is...that Netanyahu was WAY OUT OF LINE in this Lecture to the American President and Taxpayers who keep him in power and Israel Safe with our Weapons and "Iron Dome" support.

Secretary of State to basically fuck off, bombs a school, tells us to mind our own business.

And in the very same hour we condemn the bombing (without mentioning the obvious perpetrator), we approve weapons gifts to Israel so they can do it again.

Forget it. Netanyahu treats us the way we deserve to be treated, like cowards.

Netanyahu needs a collar..as I said in above post. He's just out of control.

think in return. It's called playing your cards close to your vest, and it is often the smartest strategy to use.

I have found in my life that a lot of assholes lecture me and babble away about what they think. And I'm sure, by what they say, the way they say it, and their actions, that they think I am weak and think they are superior to me.

But what they don't realize is I listen closely, gather information and keep my thoughts to myself because what I think is not their business.

Eventually the moment comes when they find out what I think. By then, it is too late for them and I win.

madman he is?

As he's been schooled by other leaders. Putin is another. They have no respect for him whatsoever.

He's a weak president with very poor foreign relations experience or knowledge. That was said about him in the beginning, and it's been proved true.

Too bad.

Now's your chance to school us all with your wisdom.

I would want Obama to get respect from is Netanyahu and Putin, as long as they don't like him he's doing something right. I for one welcome Obama's semi-isolationist approach to foreign relations. He's got all the right people on his side i.e. Euro and all the right haters i.e. Netanyahu and Putin.

Oh noez!

He said from Iran's POV. I don't think he was saying Obama is Satan, only that Iran considers him Satan. And it's worth pointing out that What Netanyahu says about what Iran believes or disbelieves, is merely his own belief. So, he's basically projecting.

Hmm. Maybe you're right.

but he's getting huge Polling numbers in favor of his policies from the Israeli population.

They like what he's doing so...don't think he's in danger at this point of a Parliamentary Election throwing him out for someone more conservative in the wings... Some say he's playing to the conservatives now...and it's just politics. But, the man must have little or no morals to do what he's authorizing to do with killing innocent civilians in Gaza. It's horrendous what's going on there and he has blood on his hands that will never wash out.

While I support Israel's right to exist, I absolutely loathe (and have loathed through the years) Netanyahu.

and I do remember reading about us being the Great Satan long ago.

However, I take exception to Netanyahu's claim that we have the same values. No, Mr. Netanyahu, I am an American who does NOT share your values.

And I take exception to his claim that we are them and they are us. I am not an Israeli, nor am I a Zionist.

I do have the urge to tell him to blow it out his ear. Also to cut off all funding of Israel.
