If we cared about international law, we would cut off all aid until Israel removes its civilians from the occupied territories:Just think if Netanyahu's Administration said things like this about our President. This is an ugly debacle. The President should apologize to Netanyahu immediately.
They couldn't say anything worse than the right is saying all the time. When the story is from an anonymous it seems it should just be ignored by all parties.
Different issue. It would not be received well if Netanyahu's Administration said this about our President. It's very ugly and amateurish.
If we knew who said it I would agree that person should apologize. But if an anonymous message came out of Israel I really don't think I'd care. Seems silly to blow it up like a big deal.
It's all on him. He's the Boss. He should apologize to Netanyahu immediately. And it is a somewhat a big deal. Obama has poisoned the well as far as the relationship goes. There will be no Peace Talks as long as he's the American President.
No peace talks? Why can't Netanyahu do something if he is such a great leader?
Should we cut off all aid if there are no peace talks?
"According to the International Law Commission (ILC), the official UN body that codifies customary international law, 'A State which aids or assists another State in the commission of an internationally wrongful act by the latter is internationally responsible for doing so if: (a) that State does so with knowledge of the circumstances of the internationally wrongful act; and (b) the act would be internationally wrongful if committed by that State” (Article 16 of the International Law Commission, 'Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts,' (2001) which were commended by the General Assembly, A/RES/56/83)."
Obviously, there's more money to be made "selling" weapons to Israel that are paid for by US taxpayers.
