I think Bibi's demonstrated quite clearly that he's no frier, so he can afford a 10 month freeze.<br /><br />It's part of playing the political game run by a completely clueless dealer (Obama). Everyone will futz around, but we all know here that it won't make a bit of difference. But we humor him for the sake of the game and yes, for the sake of our relationship because our lives here do depend on that.<br /><br />That's all it is. But carry on with your histrionics. They are amusing.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-46202474896421921172009-12-01T00:55:30.262+02:002009-12-01T00:55:30.262+02:00Neshama,

I simply couldn't hold down the fort in his absence. <br /><br />Jameel goes away and Bibi is trying to pull a Sharon, Barack is trying to take credit for Barak, and Commenter Abbi didn't move her position one bit.<br /><br />It's depressing.<br /><br />But at least Jameel and I have big construction plans in the upcoming weeks.

If it's the Israeli government's official policy to freeze settlement construction, why would AIPAC or any other American Jewish org protest Obama for an official Israeli policy?<br /><br />Whether you like it or not, Israel is most certainly in a marriage with the U.S, and by extension, him. So, yes, it is required to be chummy with him if he throws a party.<br /><br />Aside from the fact that American Jewish orgs have plenty of their own domestic issues to worry about. So, I don't see them boycotting the White House Chanuka party any time soon.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-7666217077706109412009-11-30T15:17:16.639+02:002009-11-30T15:17:16.639+02:00Abbi, you are right about the existence of Jews in...Abbi, you are right about the existence of Jews in support of Obama, but don't be a dope, we are not in a "marriage".<br /><br />Gong to the party will not accomplish anything "policywise". Silence is a strong way of showing protest, it makes an important statement. If the only groups Obama can get to attend are JStreet and the like, it will be a significant development.Mr. Gersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505463927517951971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-13553440208849646862009-11-30T15:16:33.021+02:002009-11-30T15:16:33.021+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mr. Gersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505463927517951971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-61811838662323991682009-11-30T12:45:03.094+02:002009-11-30T12:45:03.094+02:00I think the parallel is trite and there are more t...I think the parallel is trite and there are more than plenty of Jews who fully agree with Obama's policies to pack the house for a Chanuka shindig. So your tearful plea is for naught.<br /><br />On top of that, why would silence accomplish anything policywise? It reminds me of a sullen wife giving her husband the silent treatment. Those types of marriages never really work out.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-82381170999829441432009-11-30T12:25:12.837+02:002009-11-30T12:25:12.837+02:00Very good parallel.
