    The Sarkozy-Obama exchange reflects the world's growing frustration with Netanyahu

    “If a remark by French President Nicolas Sarkozy publicized Tuesday is any indication, not much is left of what was once a strong friendship between himself and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, dating back to when both men were finance ministers.”

    “During a French cabinet meeting a few weeks ago, he told his ministers, "Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] is a statesman, but Netanyahu never misses an opportunity to disappoint us," according to a report in Le Canard Enchaine. "Just now he approved the construction of 1,100 apartments in the Arab section of Jerusalem."”““

    "And while Obama has been restraining himself so as not to alienate voters before the 2012 presidential election, his disdain for Netanyahu is well-known.”

    “Former U.S. defense secretary Robert Gates reportedly called Netanyahu "ungrateful" in a meeting with Obama before the former left his post this summer, adding that the prime minister was "endangering his country by refusing to grapple with Israel's growing isolation."”

    It was Obama and Sorkozy who made the stupid comments. They should be doing damage control, not the "Jewish damage control folks".

    No matter that they believed their conversation to be in private?

    No matter that the 'stupid comments' may indeed be true?


    No, they were eavesdrooped on, and someone should be ashamed of and apologize for pitter pattering their lil' feet and tattlin' like a lil' girl.

    No, it's their job, it's what they were created for, to combat any form or appearance of anti-semitism, real or imagined, fact or fiction, true or not.

    They could have made "true" statements about the Palestinians that would have been very impolitic to say. You'd probably want some damage control in that case, apologies etc.

    haha. These geniuses were wearing live mikes and made the comments anyway. Probably didn't even care that they were overheard.

    Actually I've said nothing negative or hateful. Pointing out facts as they are that some may not be aware of. If the intent of the OP was to imply anti-semitism, or anti-Israel sentiment on the part of U.S. & French presidents, is it somehow inherently wrong to present a more balanced view by pointing out that one of them himself is a Jew? How many knew that the ADL is a Jewish organization whose main mission is to combat anti-semitism?

    Stop being such little girls.

    It's his way of attacking dispensationalism.

    Actually Robert, you've hit the nail on the head. Very perceptive of you.

    It's the DDs (deluded dispies) that have the extreme views, not me.

    What percentage of people in Bush's and Obama's administration are Jews? Is it an inordinate amount?

    That's the real comparative number.

    Politicians get caught on open mics all the time. It's not big deal IMHO.

    If Sarkozy doesn't like Netanyahu that's fine. I don't care his, Netanyahu's rhetoric all the time. Though I'm not in a position to judge his truthfulness, he pushed his points too much sometimes.

    Are you able to respond to someone who believes in dispensationalism without the insulting remark?

    You're right, my apologies, I'll try to do better in the future (even though dispies are very decieved in believing political Israel to be the circumcision when scriptures plainly teach Christians are the circumcision). We are given a THREEFOLD WARNING about this very deception in Phil 3:2,3
