Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu's remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.

Israeli television Channel 10 quoted the officials as saying “His pronouncements show a lack of self-confidence,” in an unusually harsh personal attack on Netanyahu. “We are not perturbed by his vocal opposition.”

Netanyahu was also raked over the coals Sunday by he man he replaced in the prime minister's bureau, Ehud Olmert, who accused him of bringing relations with the US to an “unprecedented” low point.

For the first time in my life, I find my country on the wrong side of every international matter. Even Carter and Clinton got it right, sometimes.  :shrug:

One of the more strange things about Obama-nation is that good is now bad. And bad is good. Up is down, left is right.
 
Whereas is normal world, aiding and abetting a formal enemy, in any case, would be treason of the highest order. However, today, the opposite.
 
Who does HLS consider to be terrorists? By their own definitions. It is not Muslims. It is White, Christian, patriotic, veteran Americans, who they target.
 
We are the enemy in Obamanation.
 
The fact that Obama would bitch-slap the Saudis and throw them to the dogs, along with Israel does not surprise me in the least. Not at all. They were fools to ever support this evil, called Obama.
 
To all my Liberal friends, which I have none, I say to you, "bon appetit", you idiots. fools.

Goading is BO's MO.  He attempts to goad the American Right into acting so he can clamp down on them.  He attempts to goad our Allies into responding in a fashion where he can claim to be attacked.
It is unwise to poke a stick into a tiger's cage.  Especially a punk.

I have heard enemies say kinder things than our ally is "desperate and weak."  With friends like the U.S., Israel doesn't need more enemies.
