Ran Baratz: Israel ‘to review’ appointment over Facebook row
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu will “review” the appointment of his new communications director over comments he made criticising US President Barack Obama and others, the US says.
On Facebook, Ran Baratz accused Mr Obama of anti-Semitism and described US Secretary of State John Kerry as having a “mental age” of no more than 12.
Mr Netanyahu has described the comments as totally unacceptable.
He is due to visit the White House next week for a US-Israeli summit.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain why the US puts up with this. The Likudniks keep insulting the government of the United States and still expect to receive US aid.

I wonder how often US aid distributions are reviewed. It seems that a current review might be in order.
The Republicans aren’t going to interfere with aid to Israel because it’s necessary in order to make the Rapture happen, OWL & Bryan. And lest you think I’m joking… no, I’m not.
SIGH.

AIPAC and other Likud lobbying groups won’t let us cut funding to Israel. They are like the NRA in their ability to frighten Congresscritters.
If they talked it over with Ultra Orthodox Jews, Badtux, they would understand that recreating the nation of Israel is preventing the coming of the Messiah. The Messiah is supposed to recreate the nation of Israel.
The Tealiban aren’t interested in what the ultra-orthodox Jews think, of course. They think the ultra-orthodox Jews killed Jesus the first time and aren’t worth listening to about anything at all. It’s all about their demented reading of scripture, which they hold requires Israel to be there in order for all the Jews to get exterminated as part of the Final Battle that will bring forth the Rapture of the Righteous, who, of course, will be the Tealiban.
I say bring it on. The Tealiban can’t be raptured fast enough for me.
Alas, it probably already happened and Constantine just picked up the pieces because they were politically useful. We all know the ‘Christian’ Bible has been heavily ‘censored’ and a lot of the Books that were in earlier versions were excised when the ‘official’ versions were written.
