CNN: “Snub Hurts WH-Netanyahu ties” : WHO CARES?

The Obama Administration is all bent out of shape because Israeli Prime Minster Netanyahu accepted an invitation to speak before both houses of Congress.

Aww, poor Administration.   They don’t like having their toes stepped on, even though they’ve been STOMPING on Israel’s at every opportunity.  How does it feel, Mr. President?  What goes around, comes around.

This President and Administration cannot be counted on to be a neutral broker for peace in the Middle East.   Insult after insult against Israel from this Administration has lead directly to this tit-for-tat response from Israel, which is justified in throwing it right back in President Obama’s face.  I’m glad that Netanyahu accepted the invitation from Congress.

Israel is our ally, and President Obama needs to get off his high horse and reset relations with Israel so that they’re correct.   But then again, we’ve seen how successful his “reset” of relations with Russia have been, so perhaps that isn’t a very good idea after all.  They’ll fumble the ball…again.   Perhaps they’d be better off in staying out of the Middle East peace process altogether and hand it off to the next Administration.

Obama’s treatment of Israel and Netanyahu in particular have been shameful and inept on the part of our Administration.   I hope Netanyahu holds nothing back when he speaks to Congress.
