Netanyahu Hits Back At Obama: I Know What's Best For Israel

[leftynyc]

83. Well, I think Bibi is an asshole

who had no business getting involved in our election so he's also a hypocrite if he thinks our President should keep his opinions to himself. That said, I'm a strong supporter of Israel who/which is by no means perfect but there are no perfect countries out there. I have many friends and relatives there who just want to live their lives without having to worry about getting blown up. The election of Hamas in Gaza shook everyone up pretty bad and that the Israeli government turned hard right after that is not really a mystery (or shouldn't be).

I think this board, in general, gives a pass to Islam and the Palestinians in particular. I see Christianity bashed on a daily basis here and nonsensical comparisons to our fundamentalists and those who throw acid in the faces of girls who want an education. So it's hard to comment on just one thread here as if in a vacuum - I've been here a long time and have seen a lot. I've been called an Islamophobe for simply being disgusted at the treatment of women in many Muslim countries so that label has become totally meaningless here.

I'm not sure if that answers your question or not.
