POTUS: “Hey, Benny; guess U.S.Money isn’t “Jewish” enough for you, either, then?
Fine…we’ll be ending the funding.”
{steps quickly back, to avoid Netanyahu tripping all over himself retracting “little Jew boy” statement.}
This Jew has nothing but contempt for the current Israeli government. Not so long ago, we said ‘never again’, but Likud has always been poking the dragon. Now, in conjunction with our own party of inhumanity, they have really gone over the line. As Jews, we are taught that Jewish values, human values, primarily are about the way we live and the way we treat others. I passed these values on to my own children. This current batch of war-mongering lunatics does not display one shred of those values. Like Ariel Sharon before him, Netanyahu is the greatest threat to peace that exists.
“From the perspective of the White House, ‘enough is enough’.”
And I’d say we are FAR beyond “enough is enough”. We hit that threshold back when Bibi decided to overtly work against the elected President of the United States. The Ultra-Zionists are no better than the Nazis they so excoriate. The questions before us now are simple: Does the US support the Ultra-Zionist genocidal ideology or not? If not, why are we paying for it? Time to put up or shut up.
Netanyahu may not want to admit it, but the International Criminal Court is investigating Israel for committing crimes against Palestinian citizens. I remember when this was announced last year, the first thing Bibi did was crawl to President Obama and ask him to intercede and try to get the ICC to drop the charges. Now, this was after Bibi had tried to undermine the president’s foreign policy decisions many times. Amb. Kirby had the nerve to tell the truth, something Bibi can’t handle.
As an onlooker, I always find it fascinating that a country with a population of a large US city and whose economy is almost entirely dependent on US aid can essentially hold the most powerful nation on earth to ransom while continuing to flout both international law and the views of the majority of the US peoples.

It’s about time the voters of Israel kicked this clown Netanyahu and his band of extremists out of office.

It’s been time since Ariel Sharon watched his troops slaughter Palestinian refugees at Sabra and Shatila.

I despise Netanfuckyu and his minions. I’m very glad to see push back from the WH.
FDRliberal January 20th, 2016 at 15:25
One telling note: As right-wing and crazy as Netanyahu certainly is, even he has criticized Republican front-runner Trump for going too far.

Agreed. I was surprised by that.
