Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remembers well just how US President Barack Obama brushed aside Israeli objections and went ahead with the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran.
Now, Netanyahu is reportedly planning some personal payback.
According to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Netanyahu will make common cause with moderate Arab governments in order to sabotage Obama’s plan to succeed Ban Ki-moon when the South Korean diplomat ends his term as United Nations secretary-general on December 31 of this year.
Al-Jarida quoted sources as saying that Obama has already discussed the issue of running for secretary-general with Democrats, Republicans, and Jewish officials in the US.
The sources said that once Netanyahu got wind of Obama’s plans, the prime minister began to make efforts to submarine what he has referred to as “the Obama project.”
“Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?” Netanyahu is quoted in the Kuwaiti daily as telling associates. “Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena.”
The newspaper cited the widely acknowledged fact that personal ties between Netanyahu and Obama are frayed.
“Obama is the worst president Israel has had to deal with and the worst president for the Middle East and its allies, the moderate Arab states,” a Netanyahu aide is quoted as saying.
A source close to Netanyahu did not deny to Al-Jarida that the premier is aiming to “torpedo the Obama project,” noting that “his presidency was characterized by [Washington’s] moving closer to the Muslim Brotherhood, toppling the regime of Hosni Mubarak, and attempts to ally itself with political Islam.”
“Obama’s term is ending with him forging an alliance with Iran, coming to an agreement with it on its nuclear program which in the end will result in a similar scenario that took place with North Korea,” the aide said.
“Israel will not allow this to happen,” the source is quoted as saying. “It will take all of the necessary steps to prevent Iran from manufacturing a nuclear weapon either covertly or overtly.”
The prime minister’s associate told Al-Jarida that Netanyahu “sees an opportunity to establish good relations based on shared interests with moderate states from which Obama has moved away.”
“Israel will not allow this to happen,” the source is quoted as saying. “It will take all of the necessary steps to prevent Iran from manufacturing a nuclear weapon either covertly or overtly.”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
STOP IT, YOU’RE KILLING ME!!!
Both quotes (unsure which is worse) say how terrible it is for israel, the arabs & the world yet no mention of how much it sucks for the US. Yahoo is such a POS.

Agree
The second one was the one that caught my eye.
That should put it all in perspective for anyone with a pair of brain cells to rub together.
Imagine if your worst business partner gave you billions a year in aid, let you destroy their moral existence for profit, and kept you from getting turned into a glass parking lot by EVERYONE ELSE.
“the jew cries out in pain, as he strikes you”
“Obama has discussed the issue” with “Democrats, Republicans and Jewish officials in the US.”
WTF. Who gives a shit what Jewish officials in the US think?
Or should I say, nobody should give a shit about what Jewish officials in the US think…about anything.
Why not Armenian officials in the US…or Mauritanian officials in the US…or Thai officials in the US?
Because we shouldn’t be concerning ourselves with any other countries representatives interests or concerns if they do not benefit the USA directly.
Especially Israel.
Amen to that.
Yasser Arafat’s mother was a Jew. Obummer’s mother is most likely a Jew. It is rumored that Arafat was a deep plant for Israel and gave locations of Palestinian movements. If Obama were against Israel, the money flow from the U.S. would have stopped. The wars Israel wants fought would have ceased. I think this is political posturing on Bibi’s part. Keep the stupid Americans thinking their is a rift.
Looks like Barry’s gonna get a promotion. I thought he was already head of the UN security council ?
Moon to Obama….. 😉 yeah he can kiss moon’s saggy @SS on his way in. For the promotion…that is.
Man, you people are twisted. Get your minds out of the gutter.
You know what I meant.
Hmmmmm something’s not right with that statement.
