Arutz 7: Obama: Netanyahu's 'Interference' in US Affairs 'Unprecedented'Esser Agaroth (2¢):
In interview to be aired Sunday night, Obama suggests no other foreign leader has 'injected himself' into a US affair like Netanyahu has.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's "interference" in US affairs is 'unprecedented,' US President Barack Obama asserted during an interview which will air in full Sunday night.
President Obama
Speaking to CNN interviewer Fareed Zakaria, Obama addressed tensions between himself and his Israeli counterpart over the Iran nuclear deal, arguing that Netanyahu's opposition to the deal is wrong.
Zakaria asked Obama if it was “appropriate of a foreign head of government to inject himself into an American affair” to the extent Netanyahu has, and if he could recall similar conduct by another foreign head of state.
The US President tried to dodge the question, suggesting that Zakaria should pose his query directly to Netanyahu. Obama did, however, note that he could not "recall a similar example."
PM Netanyahu
In March, in the midst of world powers' negotiations with Iran, Netanyahu spoke out against a potential accord before the US Congress, incurring the wrath of the Obama administration.
But tension between Israel and the United States has remained high since the deal's announcement last month, with Obama recently singling out the Jewish state as the only country who opposed the agreement.
In his interview, though, Obama was quick to stress the deep relationship shared by the US and Israel.
Asserting his ability to prove Netanyahu's basic position wrong, Obama claimed the deal was the best way to ensure Iran would not acquire nuclear weapons, making it a good agreement for the US and especially good for Israel.
Now, let me get this straight.
U. S. President Obama is complaining about Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu "interfering in U. S. affairs," as if the U. S. Government has NEVER interfered in Israeli affairs...
...such as telling Israel not to defend itself from Iraqi scud missiles.
...and putting conditions on its monetary aid to Israel, forcing it to apply it toward purchase of American products to buy jacked-up priced, American products.
...and forcing Israel to pull out of Azza (Gaza), before it can finish wiping out Hamas's arsenal which threatens the lives of Jews.
...disallowing any opinion to be expressed, unless it agrees with the President's, even it if agrees with the majority of the U. S. Congress.NO, the U. S. Government has NEVER interfered in Israel's affairs! Seriously?
...basically telling Israel that it is not allowed to have an opinion on the Iran deal, which directly affects Israel's fate.
Not only is President Obama having a tantrum about this, but the pot is calling the kettle black.
(Yes, I did, indeed, use the "b" word.)
Oh, whoops! I almost forgot!
Anyone who disagrees with the Kenyan American President is a racist.
(eyes rolling)
OK, boys and girls. Can you spell...
H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?
Good points. And I'm sure there is much more that we are completely unaware of. For example, if the US Pres openly criticizes Kenya for it's "anti-homo" laws, is it too much of a stretch to think that the US had a hand in promoting that agenda here as well? We are not the only country that has suffered US interference.
ReplyDeleteGood point.
ReplyDeleteThere are just too many examples of hypocrisy to list here.
So right on Devash. But I also say
ReplyDeleteet to brute!
Who interjected his polluted ideas into Israeli politics, where Jews can live, what Jews can make and sell to the world, how many homes can be built for its citizens, what political party can run the country, and ..... So forth!
