A Disturbing New Report Reveals What Obama Might Be Saying About Israel Behind Closed Doors

Jan. 15, 2013 7:52am Sharona Schwartz

Report by Jeffrey Goldberg: Obama Says Israel Doesn’t Know What its Own Best Interests Are

President Barack Obama thinks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t know what’s good for his country according to a report by the well-connected columnist Jeffrey Goldberg that’s being quoted prominently in the Israeli media Tuesday (for example here, here and here).

With Israeli elections just one week from now, January 22nd, could the Obama administration – with this alleged leak — be trying to influence Israeli voters?

In his Bloomberg View column posted Tuesday, Goldberg explains that after the UN voted to upgrade the Palestinians’ status to non-member state, the Israeli government swiftly announced it would build housing for Jews between east Jerusalem and the West Bank in an area known as E-1 as well as 3,000 housing units in east Jerusalem and other parts of Judea and Samaria.

Now here’s the interesting part. Goldberg writes [Emphasis added]:

When informed about the Israeli decision, Obama, who has a famously contentious relationship with the prime minister, didn’t even bother getting angry. He told several people that this sort of behavior on Netanyahu’s part is what he has come to expect, and he suggested that he has become inured to what he sees as self-defeating policies of his Israeli counterpart.

In the weeks after the UN vote, Obama said privately and repeatedly, “Israel doesn’t know what its own best interests are.” With each new settlement announcement, in Obama’s view, Netanyahu is moving his country down a path toward near-total isolation.

And if Israel, a small state in an inhospitable region, becomes more of a pariah — one that alienates even the affections of the U.S., its last steadfast friend — it won’t survive. Iran poses a short-term threat to Israel’s survival; Israel’s own behavior poses a long-term one.

Goldberg writes that Obama’s position since he was a senator has been consistent: “If it [Israel] doesn’t disentangle itself from the lives of West Bank Palestinians, the world will one day decide it is behaving as an apartheid state.”

Has a White House official told Goldberg that Obama agrees with Israel’s most vociferous critics who believe Israel is an apartheid state?

Netanyahu’s office won’t comment on Goldberg’s story, but one government minister told Israel Hayom that the leak to the reporter is a sign Obama is interfering in Israel’s elections. The head of the election campaign for Netanyahu’s Likud party Gideon Sa’ar did react to Goldberg’s article, telling Israel Hayom: “Netanyahu will know how to work with Obama very well while at the same time safeguarding Israel’s interests.”

Sa’ar, who is also education minister added: “Netanyahu has the edge over all the other candidates in the diplomatic arena too, not just the security and economic spheres.”

Netanyahu’s critics contend that building in E-1 would make the prospects of a future Palestinian state unviable, though in the past Israel has uprooted Jewish communities to concede land to the Palestinians, most notably in 2005 when Israel pulled its forces from Gaza and Jews were forced to leave their homes there.

In lockstep with European allies, the Obama administration condemned the E-1 housing announcement earlier this winter. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor said, “We believe these actions are counterproductive and make it harder to resume direct negotiations or achieve a two-state solution.”

President Obama believes only a two-state solution – a state for Jews and a state for Palestinians – can achieve long-term peace for Israelis and Palestinians. In 2011, Obama said that Israel should withdraw to 1967 borders, leaving the country just nine miles wide at its narrowest point, and thus vulnerable to Palestinian rocket attack on its strategic facilities. The policy position Obama stated would also mean handing half of Jerusalem to the Palestinians, including the Old City which is the location of the holiest site in Judaism, the Western Wall.

Goldberg’s assessment is that even with Obama’s frustration, the de facto consequences will be limited. That is, the U.S. won’t cut aid to Israel (Congress would oppose that regardless of Obama’s position), and Obama will continue his efforts to thwart Iran’s nuclear march (unsuccessful though they’ve been to now). Goldberg writes:

But it is in terms of American diplomatic protection — among the Europeans and especially at the UN — that Israel may one day soon notice a significant shift. During November’s vote on Palestine’s status, the U.S. supported Israel and asked its allies to do the same. In the end, they were joined by a total of seven other countries, including the Pacific powerhouses Palau and Micronesia.

When such an issue arises again, Israel may find itself even lonelier. It wouldn’t surprise me if the U.S. failed to whip votes the next time, or if the U.S. actually abstained. I wouldn’t be particularly surprised, either, if Obama eventually offered a public vision of what a state of Palestine should look like, and affirmed that it should have its capital in East Jerusalem.

Talk of Netanyahu having lost American support plays into the hands of his political opponents, specifically the Labor Party headed by Shelly Yachimovich. Labor hired American Democratic strategist Stanley Greenberg to spearhead its media strategy.

Obama would likely desire nothing more than for Yachimovich to win, but that looks exceedingly unlikely. His distaste for Netanyahu is nothing new. Recall, the president was famously picked up on an open microphone in November 2011 agreeing with then French President Nicolas Sarkozy who said he “cannot stand” Netanyahu and accused him of being a liar. Obama piled on his own opinion: “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”

According to the latest polls, Netanyahu is forecast to be comfortably reelected, though the new coalition may sit further to the right if he were to invite in the pro-settlement party the Jewish Home led by Naftali Bennett (which TheBlaze recently profiled here).

All this will make the next meeting between the two leaders interesting. The Jerusalem Post reports that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has invited Netanyahu to address its annual policy conference in Washington during the first week of March. With both leaders in Washington, it would be a strong statement were Obama not to make the time to meet with the Israeli prime minister.

On Monday, the Associated Press wrote an article examining Obama and Netanyahu’s relationship, headlined “Obama, Netanyahu: Bad blood between the key allies.” It quoted former State Department official and veteran peace negotiator Aaron David Miller, now with the Woodrow Wilson Center who says of the relationship: “It’s troubled. It’s the greatest dysfunction between leaders that I’ve seen in my 40 years in watching and participating.”

“I don’t think we are headed for a showdown…but the relationship will continue to be dysfunctional,” he added.

Going from ‘floor worker’ to management is not easy. And going from management to owning a business is a real Back breaker. But can you imagine the hours of overtime and effort it takes Oby to successfully be taking down Israel AND the United States, at the same time? Poor guy. He needs another vacation followed by a few rounds of golf. This whole Caliphate thing is really wearing him down.

  Why wouldn’t Barry talk bad about Israel?
  
  Barry has allowed 35 Terrorist Training camps to operate inside the United states (this group responsible for 53 terrorist attacks on US soil.) Yes, and most are on the east coast.
  
  Barry has armed and supported Libyan and Syrian Terrorist (the same Terrorist who have killed US Troops and Coalition Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.)
  
  Barry has armed Mexican Drug Cartels (Fast and Furious).
  
  Barry could not even help France assault a Al-QaedeTerrorist compound to recover a French Intelligence Officer (Barry says Al-Qaede does not exist with the death of Bin Laden.) Barry gave up Dr. Afridi who help pin point Bin Ladens location.
  
  Barry supported the Muslim Brotherhoods overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt and then wants to send Morsi 1 billion dollars.

What treaty have we signed with Israel. If there is one thing that i like about Obama its that he’s not a flopping, floundering Israeli sycophant. Its time to end our relationship with this country. As Jefferson said friendship towards all entangling alliances with none.

  Actually, the United States has always opposed new settlements on the West Bank. Yeah, it sounds cute to say it’s Obama’s idea, but opposition to these settlement has been US policy for the last 50 years.
  
  “My position is that the foreign policy of the United States says we do not believe there should be new settlements in the West Bank or in East Jerusalem. And I will conduct that policy as if it’s firm, which it is, and I will be shaped in whatever decisions we make to see whether people can comply with that policy. And that’s our strongly held view.”

  What we say here, stays in this section,(RIGHT?) Over the years, I’ve seen some of the most insightful comments penned by,” concerned citizens,” that have very good things to say.However, it’s a shame that we can’t have this voice go out to the Public, where it might do some real good.
  These reports, while insightful & informative, Are great for our small group, yet we rarely get to see how our thoughts effect those of us that may disagree With our conclusions on a topic.
  We all know that the thing in question above, is capable of destroying or severing all relations with Israel, of that there is no doubt, but Why?, we’ll never be allowed too know!
  Some suspect Obama to be the,” Anti-Christ,” we were warned, would show up in the end days, Maybe, Maybe not, Time will tell. One thing is certain This Reprobate is NOT Representing the Will of the American People, & He IS Dragging Both of our Nations Down to the very Pits of Hell, With a Satanic Glee!!
  We all talk of a Good fight, But are we willing to really face the truth, I highly doubt so.
  With most Gun Owners, They Know how to Load & shoot their Guns, Why, some even know how to Take them down & clean them, But most don’t know a darn thing about Making their own ammo out of spent casings. & That is where Obama has us all by the Short Hairs. All he needs to do is Take away our AMMO & Most of you are Screwed!!
  As for the rest of us, ” He Who Controls the FOOD, Controls the PEOPLE “!! Think on that!!

  If Only all of you have seen, what I’ve seen over the years & had connected the dots, We’d all be a better country for it, But it was not to be, There seems too be to many of you willing to turn a blind eye to the truth, To many willing to LIE about those things that you witness CRIMES taking place right in front of YOU, Yet YOU DON”T WANT TO GET INVOLVED ? You raised your children with that SICK Attitude & Now we are Paying the Price for your COWARDLINESS.

What else can one expect? Obama doesn’t think the American people know what is good for them, so of course he will never agree with Israel, or any other country for that matter. He thinks he knows all, sees all, and hears all, regardless of the consequences of his actions.

  Israel is capable of dealing with Iran by itself. It is Obama and Hilary that are forcing Israel to hold back. Israel can only hold back so long to please Obama and Hilary before Iran reaches a point where Israel’s abilities will not be sufficient to counter Iran. If America would just leave Israel alone, instead of treating it like the 51st state, it would be fine. And that includes financial aid. As long as the US aid to Israel’s enemies was cut proportionally, Israel would be fine without the American money. Heck, on a per capita basis, Israel’s economy is better than America’s right now, and Israel can afford her own defense budget. As the old saying goes, with friends like these (America), who needs enemies? Watch the January 22nd election: Israelis are waking up to the massive fraud that was Oslo, and a new generation of proud, nationalistic Israelis want to live in a proud Jewish state, not a puppet of the State Department. And that state will include an annexed Judea and Samaria. The two-state solution was a fraud from the start, and will never become reality. BHO will have to deal.

  Let’s stop foreign aid to Israel which by the way has string attached to it. The strings are to turn around & buy American weapons. It is suppressing Israeli industries. Foreign aid to Israel amount to 2% or less than Israel’s budget. They can survive without it.
  
  At the same time we can cut aid to Egypt & Pakistan. We”ll save $3 to $4 billion a year. This would account for most of our foreign aid. After we make those cuts we can look form more serious cuts as we got the low hanging fruit.
  
  Oh year I forgot to mention, when we cut Egypt’s foreign aid be prepared for a revolution or a war.

  But letting Iran finally get a nuclear weapon in order to follow through on its threat to destroy Israel is? How naive can you be? Wake up and imagine what a nuclear Iran would mean. We should be so lucky if Israel finally attacks Iran’s nuclear sites. We know Obama will not lift a finger to stop Iran, and we know that Israel is all alone in this endeavor. They need to act — and act quickly.

  You poor soul. I will pray for you. Christianity is not a faith of hate. We love the Jewish people as well as all other people on this earth. We know that Jesus Christ the son of God died on the cross and rose again so that all who believe in Him may have eternal life. Yes many people call themselves Christians then turn and spew hatred towards things they don’t agree with. Do you think those people are truly Christians? No, they are poor misguided souls such as yourself. I would like to ask you though, do you spew this kind dislike you have for Christians towards Muslims, Hindus, Bhudists, Mormons, Scientologists, etc. etc.? I would surmise that you do not. We as Christians know that we will be persecuted for our belief in Christ and yours as well as the rest of the worlds current disdain and hatred for us is proof positive that end times biblical prophecies are coming to fruition. I will ask you to read the Bible, study it and perhaps you will find the truth that is there and find Jesus before it is too late for you. You know He is always there seeking you, all you have to do is turn to him.

  1. He is a globalist. Globalists are more interested in what they think is in the interests of other countries than they are in what is in their countries interest.
  
  2. Once you pay the Danegeld, you will never be free of the Dane…. When you pay for peace, the price of keeping the peace goes on and on, forever. The price also tends to go up.
  
  That is true both in the middle east, and with regard to the extra-sensitivity displayed to a certain religious group which, in a free country famed for equality, is noticeably more equal than others. It is certainly not due to their numbers. in 20011 they had 2,106 mosques in this country to service the religious needs of allegedly 8 million Muslims. The math doesn’t work does it? Some estimates put the figure at 2 – 3 million. ( The ones in prison converted to a sect that is considered heretical, which would be a death sentence if they tried to visit Mecca. Should we count them?) The 8 million figure is made up to gain more political clout.
  
  Sharia law has been used in the US in at least one family law case to refuse a restraining order in a domestic abuse case. If the guy can’t stand living under our laws, give him a choice between prison or deportation. Any pending citizenship should be dropped, or at least put on hold until we see if he is even willing to try to adapt.
  
  3. A vote for O. was a vote for Axelrod…

What Mr Obama fails to understand is that he has made the same mistake concerning the tiny state of Israel that many others before him have made. Mr Obama assumes that it was the threat of US backing which gave the State of Israel its power and dominance in the region. Further, since Mr Obama is completely ignorant concerning biblical accounts concerning Israel, he actually has no idea concerning the relationship between the tribes of Israel of which the State of Israel represents only one, namely Judah. Mr Obama does not understand the alliance and the power behind the State of Israel, because he is biblically illiterate.
Mr Obama’s actions in the Middle East will make the prophecy of Daniel come to pass. The financial loss from Mr Obama’s inept understanding of those prophecies will be devastating to the American economy within the next few months. Mr Obama will celebrate his wars and their respective effect on the Middle East. There is no doubt he will even win another Nobel prize for his actions, however the event will be short lived. His world will come crashing down around him as the US falls into financial failure due to the loss of the OPEC oil business to Iran (Persia) and their ally Russia. Smart Americans will be prepared, others will suffer in a financial disaster which will dwarf the great depression and effect every single American alive. This will occur over the next few months.

I just wish I trusted Obama to do what is right for America as much as I trust Netanyahu to do what is right for Israel. At least Israel has a leader that loves his country.

I stand with God, I stand with Israel.

  If anyone is polling the Israeli electorate, I’d wager that POS’s comments are reflected in at least a 10% boost for Netanyahu.
  
  A side note — is it wise to p*ss off the man that can unleash the Mossad?

  Yeah, the Mossad is second to none. This only demonstrates, further, what kind of domestic enemy we have in the Executive branch. By 2015, if we make it that far, Barry Soetoro (whatever his name is) will be the most hated man in America.

Obama the Great, meddling in the affairs of others. What a wise choice the elites made. Keep up the good work.

  You’re right, circledwagons, but BHO is hardly unique in his bullying of Israel. I’d say every president since LBJ has done so, since US aid to Israel began then. Clinton sent money and advisors (Cargil, I believe) to help defeat Netanyahu in 1998. Netanyahu is mindful of that, and it is certainly not beyond BHO to do likewise. Netanyahu, above all, is loyal to Netanyahu, and will not do anything to imperil his own career. US aid is used as a whip to make Israel conform to State’s will, whether it is against Israel’s interests and the will of its people or not. The healthiest thing that could happen to the US-Israel relationship would be the phasing out of that aid, and the strings attached to it. Of course, aid to Israel’s enemies (P.A., Egypt, Lebanon, et. al.) would have to be phased out proportionally as well.

  While he is evil, he is not mentally ill. Obama is following the Cloward & Piven play book on how to crash the US & reboot it with socialism/communism. He also hold more to Islam than Christianity, despite his claims. He would be happy to see Iran nuke Israel. Obama wants total control & will throw anyone under the bus for him to get his power.
  
  I stand with Israel and support their right to have their own country & live in peace. George Bush & both houses of Congress signed a resolution supporting Israel’s right to exist. It is shameful that in such a short time, the leadership of this country has turned against one of our staunchest allies.
  
  If Obama really is a Christian, he might do well to remember Genesis 12:3.

This from the man who thinks higher taxes and larger deficits are in his own peoples best interests. If I were Israeli that would be all the reason I need to vote for Netanyahu.

Why is this no shock to anyone?

Obama’s hatred for Israel is absolute as is his hubris and arrogance and insanity. He wants Israel to be destroyed, and I still maintain the time will come soon when he will strike at Israel to ‘liberate the Palestinian People’ especially after the UN declares them a nation-state consisting of most or all of Israels lands.

War is coming people, and Obama is ensuring our nation will be on the wrong side.

Dear Ivy League Empty Suit,
Jihad has not, nor has never been, in the interests of Israel.
If only you were not a rabid, JEALOUS, indoctrinated third world anti-colonialist, with an affirmative action ivy league degree, you would know that.
All that taxpayer funded education…..wasted on you.
:(

  Obama’s hubris and arrogance knows no bounds, and Obama is setting us up to be on the side of Israeli’s enemies. War is coming, and may God stop Obama in his tracks, for the man needs to be impeached and jailed for his treason.
