Hatred for Israel reaches new levels

So now it is official.
Sarkozy to Obama talking about Israel's elected Prime Minister (not realising the microphones were still on):

"I can't bear to see him any more, he's a liar,"
Obama's response:
"You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day."

Sarkozy and Obama might try to cover their tracks by claiming that their comments show frustration with just one man, but this is actually about contempt for Israel. They would not have dreamed of making such comments about an Arab leader, let alone a supposed ally; indeed, even yesterday Obama was STILL talking about appeasing Ahmedinejad with new concessions. There is something particularly ironic about the liar claim; not just that Sarkozy and Obama are two of the biggest liars in political history - but that (as I pointed out here) Arab lies are at the root of the whole Middle East narrative, but nobody has called them to account for it. It is certainly true that Netanyahu has lied - most notably every time recently when he has stated that Obama is a friend of Israel he has lied through his teeth to cover up for Obama and he has also lied when he states publicly that France and the other EU countries can be a force for good in the Middle East.

What is also incredible about this story is a) how it was first covered up willingly by the journalists present at the request of Sarkozy and Obama. Elder of Ziyon covers this aspect well; and b) how it has been barely mentioned in the left-wing dominated Israeli press (presumably because their hatred for Netanyahu is trumped only by their love for Obama, and even they realise this story is more damaging to Obama than it is to Netanyahu).

And of course Cameron the stooge, in attempting to distance himself from the faux-pas manages to make things worse, as the report states:
David Cameron's spokesman said Mr Netanyahu was "an important partner" in Middle East issues but that Britain did not agree with him on everything. "We think Israel needs to stop settlement building and return to talks," he said. 
Nice even-handed comment that, ignoring the fact that Israel ceased all 'settlement' activity for a year but it was the Palestinians who were the ones who refused to 'return to talks'.

Perhaps we are approaching the end game now. Israel never had any real friends but at least under Bush and Blair the US and the UK were not enemies (France after 1967 always was). That has now clearly changed. None of the 'major powers' will accept a 'peace deal' that is anything less than a full Israeli surrender to every Palestinian demands, so the peace process is dead.  And Israel will certainly have to deal with Iran alone.

  1. Wonder if cameron knows that Gandhi, as well as wanting the Jews to commit suicide in the face of Nazi aggression, also wanted the Brits to surrender to the Nazis.

    Edgar, the root and deeds of Brit hate for Jews (and therefore Israel) can be found in the excellent book The Rape of Palestine by William B Ziff, 1938.

    Cameron has no compunction about letting Jews die under Islam, just as the UK allowed/initiated under the British Mandate.

    Well, his country has succumbed to the Islamic disease without any effort on his part to save it.
    Long may he wear the consequences.

  2. When I read of Sarkozy's remarks, I was reminded of the then French Ambassador to the Court of St James blaming (at a private dinner party) "that shitty little country, Israel" for the world's woes - unluckily for him, fellow-guest Barbara Amiel spilled the beans in her "Daily Telegraph" column...

  4. I feel a little scared on what is happening over there. Shouldn't the UN interfere on the matter?
