Has Obama thrown Israel undervthe bus?

[listener]

That is the question. I say no.

That is the question. I say no.

I don't think he has. Israel pretty much does as it pleases.

Where's the poll?

I see a mod warning in your future. :2razz:

Israelis are big boys and girls, let them deal with this. They are not American children to be concerned with.

Isreal's a pretty small country, but you'd still need a pretty ****ing big bus. I understood you can throw people under a bus, but Obama's American, and I don't think he has the geographical knowledge to throw an entire country under a giant automobile.

Getting a better ****ing metaphor for ****s sake, "under a bus" is overused. And I hadn't even heard it before Obama was elected.

Obama has increased aid to Israel, from $2.994 billion in 2011 to an estimated $3.1 billion in 2012, so no, I don't believe he has thrown the Israelis under the bus.

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon says its just a matter of weeks before they attack Iran.. and he states they will bomb Syria as well.

Absolutely! No doubt about it.

Has Obama thrown Israel under the bus?

Absolutely! No doubt about it.

By not going to war with Iran on their schedule or other?

 

[Mycroft]

Obama won't make a move in relation to Israel because no matter what he does it'll screw with his campaign. He's safer not doing anything. He's good at explaining why he doesn't do stuff.

When you increase aid to a foreign country...I'd hardly call that throwing them under the bus.

We should allow them to make their own choices and not give as much aid as we do to them or any other foreign country while our debt continues to soar.

They are big boys and girls, so why then do they need all this aid ?
If anything, it should be cut by 10 to 20%, giving our budget a break..
And, they had best be careful with this talk of military adventures..

I don't disagree with you, I was just answering the question.

No ... and my close friend is Israeli and so I get an insider pov ....which in their country is divided into right and left and just as ours.

Do you mind me asking how, Mya? I'm curious.
