If this post makes some think I am anti-semitic so be it. It is no secret the right wing Zionist PM of Israel and President Obama are often at odds. Now we have this:
Israeli PM ‘Troubled’ By US Decision On Palestinian Gov’t
Israel’s prime minister said Wednesday he is “deeply troubled” by the United States’ decision to maintain relations with the new Palestinian unity government, urging Washington to tell the Palestinian president that his alliance with the Hamas militant group is unacceptable.
The blunt language used by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reflected the Israeli government’s disappointment and frustration over the international community’s embrace of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ new unity government.
Netanyahu has urged the world to shun the government because it is backed by Hamas, an Islamic group that has killed hundreds of Israelis in attacks over the past two decades. But late Tuesday, both the U.S. and European Union said they would give Abbas a chance.
“I’m deeply troubled by the announcement that the United States will work with the Palestinian government backed by Hamas,” Netanyahu told The Associated Press, saying the group has murdered “countless innocent civilians.”
Let’s be honest here Netenyahu has no interest in peace only expansion. While I live on the left coast I have many Jewish friends most of whom are opposed to the policies of the current Israeli government. Israel is not an allay of the US but a client state. When what Israel thinks is it’s best interest is not in the best interests of the United States we need to recognize that.. If they lose the support of the US and US Jews the state of Israel is doomed.
