What is the purpose. He should be talking in private with Trump. Why is he not angling for a better deal from Trump?
(Communicated by the Prime Minister’s Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Thursday, 22 December 2016), released the following statement:
“Israelis deeply appreciate one of the great pillars of the US-Israel alliance: The willingness over many years of the US to stand up in the UN and veto anti-Israel resolutions.
I hope the US won’t abandon this policy; I hope it will abide by the principles set by President Obama himself in his speech in the UN in 2011: That peace will come not through UN resolutions, but only through direct negotiations between the parties.
And that’s why this proposed resolution is bad. It’s bad for Israel; it’s bad for the United States; and it’s bad for peace.”
the quoted excerpt has nothing to do with “a better deal from trump”
As for why BB is publicly addressing Obama now… either he thinks obama might do it and his declaration can prevent it…
OR more likely:
there is a manufactured drama whereby BB makes himslelf look important as a defender of Israel against the black knight or any other current bogey man… after all… a guy who never does a single thing in support of settlements outside the ghettto walls, but gets most of his votes from the right, has to appear to be doing something for those votes once in a while.
Interestingly, whenever these things come up about the legality and legitimacy of Jewish settlement, BB never mentions that they are legal and legitimate… he just mumbles that it wont help peace…. thus solidifying the blood libels that the jews are land thieves holding back a peace process. BB’s lack of defending of the legality and legitimacy of Jews settling in YS is probably the single most driver of this current global wave of anti semitism and jew killing. Perhaps less jews will die if he clears up that misunderanding about Jews and the Jewish homeland.
the pals never clamor for peace, they clamor for their rights, their just rights, but according to BB and the leftists the Jews have no just rights outside of the ghetto they have been assigned.
It will be interesting to see if BB convinces Trump to back off his support for jewish settlement ….. BB already begged trump to support BB’s tss before trump is even president.
@ Birdalone:
Yes, I agree. This is a very dangerous time. I wouldn’t take anything Bibi says before Jan. 20 too seriously. He clearly doesn’t want to provoke the dying beast out of its confused slumber.
Because the UNSC vote will be during Obama44’s petulant lame duckiness is
