MSNBC TV: Netanyahu is being very blunt about the meeting with Obama in this news conference
He's publicly giving Obama the business about the 1967 borders.

1. Bibi looks like he is still trying to argue his case to Obama who has already rejected it.

2. If you take money from somebody, there's likely an element of reciprocity involved.
Bibi should at least consider the suggestion.

4. Anyone up for giving Bibi a dressing down for criminal activity? Hows about for
being a world-class putz?

I'm in for incendiary rhetoric which was connected to the assassination of his previous predecessor. How's Mrs. Rabin, Bibi? You guys besties yet?

You unmitigated tool.

5. Obama has not rejected it. Obama said to use the' 67 borders
as the starting point WITH SWAPS. This means
'67 borders plus settlements. They can negotiate
which settlements stay as part of Israel.

This was the Clinton plan back when they were close
to agreement.

"Bibi" was speaking the the LiKud in Israel as much
as anything. He must show he is "standing strong for
Israel".

Remember the Media creates Conflict. This is their goal.

No matter what is good for the two countries, the Media
is much more interested in making it appear the two men
are close to fistacuffs. No excitement in two men facing
gave conditions and trying to find a way to eventually
reach an agreement. EJ Dionne said last night on THE LAST WORD
that Jewish Groups including ADL were pleased with Obama's
speech.

With any story, weigh how much of this is the Media trying
to create conflict and how much is reality. Yes, there
are differences.

6. Then let me be blunt.
Billons in military aid over the decades. How belligerent, and how intransigent would Israel be without the US standing behind them. They tend to act like elementary school bullies who know big brother will bail them out if they start something they can't handle.
