But then you'd be wrong.
Two days after [Obama snubbed its defense minister], the Israeli government announced the construction of 1,000 new housing units in so-called East Jerusalem, including 600 new units in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood that was the subject of a 2010 row with Joe Biden. Happy now, Mr. Vice President?
The real problem for the administration is that the Israelis—along with all the other disappointed allies—are learning how little it pays to be on Barack Obama’s good side. Since coming to office in 2009, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed, against his own inclination and over the objections of his political base, to (1) recognize a Palestinian state; (2) enforce an unprecedented 10-month settlement freeze; (3) release scores of Palestinian prisoners held on murder charges; (4) embark on an ill-starred effort to reach a final peace deal with the Palestinians; (5) refrain from taking overt military steps against Iran; and (6) agree to every possible cease-fire during the summer’s war with Hamas.
In exchange, Mr. Kerry publicly blamed Israel for the failure of the peace effort, the White House held up the delivery of munitions at the height of the Gaza war, and Mr. Obama is hellbent on striking whatever deal the Iranians can plausibly offer him.
Oh, and Mr. Kerry also attributes the rise of Islamic State to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Maybe if the Israelis grovel a bit more, Mr. Obama will oblige them by recognizing a Palestinian state as his parting act as president. Don’t discount the possibility.
And now it's down to petty insults.
A "senior administration official" (Valerie Jarrett, anyone?) called Israeli PM -- and former special forces operator -- Benjamin Netanyahu a "chickens***". I kid you not.

Hey, Mallory - cheerlead the Islamonazis elsewhere. ?
Rich liberal jews continue to support lying Obama at any cost....Forgetting Obama's attitude towards Israel will raise anti Semitism across world. Jews have been kicked out of every country in the past history . backing Obama makes reasons clear
The dark comedy in all this is that rich Jews like Haim Saban pay the way for for Jew-haters like President Ebola to come to power. Then, when Israel comes under the inevitable attack enabled by the lunatics rich Jews like Saban have enabled, the same 'Sabans' raise then money for Israel. The tragedy is that the 'Sabans' can raise some pity money for Israel, but they can't raise blood. Instead, blood is on the rich Jews' hands. The Sapans have done much for their adopted America, either.

Let me see if I understand the rules of posting comments here. An administrator who is "pro-Israel" will review and "delete" any comment unfavorable toward Israel??? Sounds blatantly unfair to me!
