March 15, 2010.  The Obama administration's calculated decision to escalate its open attacks against Israel over a routine decision by the Jerusalem Planning and Building Board to approve 1,600 housing units in Ramat Shlomo neighborhood presents Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu with an unenviable task. He has to either relinquish Israel's sovereignty over its capital by capitulating in the face of the unprecedented American assault, or he can tell Obama and Clinton and their cohorts to go to hell. It is depressing, and let's face it, a bit scary that the US, which has refused to raise a finger against Iran's nuclear program or any other rogue action by any other US enemy has decided to go after Israel in this fashion. It is depressing, but not surprising. 

Anyone who paid the slightest attention to who Barack Obama is, before he was elected, knew full well that this man is an enemy of Israel. He was a member of an ardently anti-Semitic church for more than two decades. His friends ranged from virulently anti-Israel and anti-Jewish like Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, William Ayres, Jeremiah Wright, Samantha Power and Susan Rice -- among others -- to radically post-Zionist like Arnie Wolf, Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod not to mention Joe Biden. 

Given his pedigree, no one should have been surprised that Obama has chosen to stir up a crisis in his relations with Israel.

Bibi can tell Obama to stick it where the sun don't shine and rally the Israeli public and Israel's many  friends in America to his side and so make it impossible for Obama to carry on doing this with immunity. Or he can lick Obama's boots and set the clock ticking faster towards the destruction of this country.

What's it going to be Bibi? What's it going to be? You knew being Prime Minister would demand something of you. Do you have that something? I think you do, somewhere inside.  What is it going to be?   Ante up!

NETANYAHU GUARDS JERUSALEM

March 15, 2010. At the Knesset this afternoon, Bibi told Obama to leave us alone. In a speech welcoming Brazil's president, (by the way what is he doing here? He's buddy, buddy with Ahmadinejad), Bibi said that Israel will continue to build in all of Jerusalem's neighborhoods. He also said that we would resume building in Judea and Samaria in six months. So we'll see. At a minimum, he didn't give in. Let's hope he keeps this up.

Keep it coming Bibi. Please keep it coming.

A COMMENT FROM ISRAEL

The American administration has managed to create a unique situation out of housing in the Jerusalem municipality.  If Bibi backs down, his political position ...and our security situation will be seriously damaged.

If Obama backs down, his international standing ...and America's diplomatic reputation will be seriously damaged.  What we have now is a "lose-lose" situation.
