Quote:1.  It's worth keeping in mind that Obama humilated Benjamin Netanyahu in the past.  Including when the Israeli P.M. visited the White House.  I'm no fan of Netanyahu,  who has compromised Israeli greatly by his appeasement.     But at least this time around,  at least for now,  he finally is showing courage.   I wish he would go much further,  taking out Iranian's nuclear program,  regardless what Obama says and does.   But at least it's better than the norm.

2.  This is an excellent illustration why I expressed on the MB months ago that I wish Shep Smith was no longer on the Fox News Channel.   There's a difference between not wanting someone on the air than calling for him to be removed from the air.    The perception of Fox being strictly a Conservative News network is so far from reality.    The fact they employed Sally Kohn should have convinced more people of this.  

 

3.  Israel would be far better off without any U.S. Aid.   Israel's annual budget is less than 5 % U.S. aid.   The damage the U.S. aid causes Israel,  especially when there's a hostile ' administration'  such as the current one occupying the oval office,    far exceeds the benefits it provides.   In exchange for the foreign aid,  Israel is told to make concessions that endangers the country substantially.    The U.S. should cut off aid to Israel's enemies,  most,  if not all of which are enemies of the U.S.   Including giving aid to Fatah,  which in reality will always remain a terrorist organization,  regardless of what it's classified by the U.S. and Israeli governments.    Israel's greatest victories ( 1948 and 1967 wars ) were when Israel didn't get U.S. aid.    Israel's destiny isn't dependent on any other nation.
1. Understandable and wasn't a great move on Obama's part for sure. However let's not pretend this is anything other than Boehner playing kids games that have no place in the position he holds, nor that's it's Netenyahu doing the exact same thing he criticized a rival for doing in the 90's, attempting to influence his own election. IMO, that's all it's about.

 

2. I find it disturbing that anyone could think Fox is anything but right wing rhetoric. That's like saying MSNBC isn't liberal.

 

3. I'm with you here, I'd take it step further and stop any and all aid that isn't purely humanitarian in general.
