So, Netanyahu comes to the White and tells Obama and the American people this "ain't gonna happen" and that "aint gonna happen" regarding Palestinian issues and Statehood for Palestinians.
It's time for the United States to end this "special relationship" crap with Israel, stop being Israel's caretaker and begin letting Israel take care of itself and surviving on its own.
The United States needs to downgrade relations with Israel from "special" to "normal", just as other small, insignificant countries around the world.

Agree for the most part. Israel deserves to exist in peace, and I'm fine with defending her against attack from outsiders. That said, we shouldn't feel compelled to kiss Israel's butt and make excuses for her every time she screws up. So many seem worried about "alienating" or "bashing" Israel because she's the only democracy in the region and a U.S. ally, but I ask again -- so what?? Where else would Israel go?? Who are her other friends??
I was through with Israel decades ago. Obama needs to stand his ground and Israel needs to learn its damn place-which is not in the forefront of American foreign policy.
We actually have a more important economic relationship with neighboring Arab states and that is the big irony behind this ridiculous pandering we're doing when it comes to Israel.
EVERYWHERE our motives are economic-why is Israel different?
I think we'd be ahead cutting people like you loose instead. You people have absolutely no idea what you're talking about other than the usual Jew hatred exhibited on C-D. The left shows its true colors regarding Jews.

Being critical of Israel does not equate to "Jew hatred." That is a false argument constantly advanced by the Israel apologists.
Ummm, wasn't it Obama and his administration who wanted an end to American exceptionalism? Wasnt it this president who went around bowing to world leaders, a gesture that shows you to be lower than the person you're bowing to? Obama set himself up as a weak leader and he's now surprised other world leaders are not doing what he says? For Israel, this isn't about politics. This is about their very survival both as a nation and literally their very lives since they are surrounded by Muslims who teach their children at an early age to not only hate Jews, but also celebrate their deaths. Some of these countries have made it their official goal of killing all the Jews in Israel. And yet Obama wants to make Israel committ suicide. No way.
