Obama criticises Netanyahu's 'divisive rhetoric'
Click to expand...
The US has criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following his re-election victory for abandoning his commitment to negotiate for a Palestinian state and for what it called "divisive" campaign rhetoric towards minority Arab voters.

In its first public response to Netanyahu's victory, the White House said on Wednesday that it's "deeply concerned" about divisive language emanating from Netanyahu's Likud Party.

Even as President Barack Obama's administration congratulated Netanyahu for his party's decisive win, the



White House signaled its deep disagreements with Netanyahu will persist on issues ranging from Middle East peacemaking to Iran nuclear talks.

In the final days of campaigning, Netanyahu backtracked on his support for eventual creation of a Palestinian state - the cornerstone of more than two decades of peace efforts - and promised to go on building illegal settlements on occupied land.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest reaffirmed Obama's commitment to a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict and said that based on Netanyahu's comments, "the United States will evaluate our approach to this situation moving forward".

Netanyahu's insistence that there will be no Palestinian state while he holds office, seen as a manoeuvre to mobilise his base when his re-election prospects were flagging, drew criticism from the UN and European governments.

Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane, reporting from Washington, said: "Many people are saying that it's a kind of threat to the prime minister."

"They're saying that the US could go to the UN security council, or not block action against Israel in the International Criminal Court."

Arab-Israeli voters

The United States and this administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric that seeks to marginalize Arab-Israeli citizens

Josh Earnest, White House Spokesman

Earnest said the administration would also communicate its concern directly to the Israeli government over much-criticised rhetoric used by Netanyahu's campaign.

Netanyahu charged on election day in Israel that opponents were trying to get Arab-Israeli voters out "in droves" to sway the election against him.

"The United States and this administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric that seeks to marginalise Arab-Israeli citizens," Earnest said.

Arabs comprise about 20 percent of Israel's population of eight million and have long complained about discrimination.

A collection of Israeli Arab parties that ran together as the Arab Joint List claimed third place in Tuesday's election with 13 seats.

Although Netanyahu must still put together a coalition, his victory all but guarantees that Israel's president will give him the first opportunity to form a government.

However, "the unprecedented security cooperation between the US and Israel, including our strong military and intelligence relationship, will continue," Earnest said.

The most hilarious thing is that 90% of the p0asters in HL are witnessing this shyt like :dwillhuh:. I kept trying to tell wgrz that the source material for Israel's political strategy is the fcking Bible.
It makes literally ZERO SENSE for Netanyahu to be acting like this. This would be like George W Bush coming out n saying "Blacks will never have a fair shake as long as I'm President n gentrification will not only continue, but intensify." Blacks around the world would instantly start choosing sides.
I absolutely refuse to believe Israelis are this stupid, to play shyt close to the vest this long n then when ISIS is circlejerking around the Mid East go and do some completely irrational shyt like this.:mjlol:

I want to talk to you about evil. It doesn’t even exist. Evil. A few weeks ago, the president took [Hezbollah] and Iran off our terror list. Did you know that? Hamas and Iran are off our terror list. He’s negotiating with Iran while at the same time, their supreme leader who came out yesterday, Khamenei said, quote, we will fly the Islamic flag of jihad over the White House. And we are negotiating with them now. The president has spent your tax dollars through the State Department on something called V15 to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu. Christians are being liquidated, beheaded, and crucified. The children are being sold into slavery, and our big bombing plan to stop ISIS and dismantle them is to find jobs for them or to bomb them seven times a day. Do you know how many bombing raids we ran in Bosnia a day? About 165. We’re running seven against ISIS. Last night, I see a story from Foreign Policy about how the president wasted no time yesterday, he did not congratulate Benjamin Netanyahu, he only congratulated the Israeli people on holding a democratic election. There was no congratulations to Benjamin Netanyahu. Instead, he sends our team to the United Nations. And the United States now said, and I want to quote, the more Israel veers to the right, the more action you will see from us in New York City. They are now sabotaging Benjamin Netanyahu. We are, in our time – the United States of America, under this administration – now sabotaging Benjamin Netanyahu and the state of Israel and pushing for a UN resolution on a two-state solution. We are on the wrong side. I have suggested in the past that I know this to be true, that Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at Congress was a historic warning. Mark my words. One hundred years, people will look back and say, that was a prophetic warning. He warned us.

The Coli Militants can relax. If you actually believe Bibi's bullshyt about taking a hard line and throwing out a two-state solution, well you were all wrong. It was a pretty obvious and cheesy ploy on Bibi's part to steal that ultra-right wing vote at the deadline.

breh, Bibi will embrace a two state solution when palestenians "act right" which basically means palestenians need to denounce Islam and convert to Christianity
