Bibi wrote:“Israel rejects this shameful anti-Israel resolution at the U.N. and will not abide by its terms,” Mr. Netanyahu said in a statement. “At a time when the Security Council does nothing to stop the slaughter of half a million people in Syria, it disgracefully gangs up on the one true democracy in the Middle East, Israel, and calls the Western Wall ‘occupied territory.’ ”
Oh FUCK YOU you genocidal asshole. You'd be cheerfully forcing the palestinians into gas chambers if you could so don't cry crocodile tears when the US rightfully calls you out on your horseshit.
I swear to god the Israeli right are some of the most vile pieces of shit ever.
I don't know if I'd quite equate Netanyahu to the Nazis, but I'm pretty sick of his whining every time the US briefly remembers that its not an Israeli client state. Talk about a fucking entitlement complex (just like he thinks he's entitled to Palestinian territory).

Honestly, I think Netenyahu WOULD go the genocide route if he could. The Israeli right is monstrous enough to do it; I'd say they're WORSE than Hamas at this point.
The US should:
1. Make Israel pay for all the almost free stuff high tech weapons they pass on to China the next day.
2. Encourage Israel to live as their intellectuals teach, enable open borders and multi-culture, tear down that Wall.
Israel's ambassador to New Zealand Itzhak Gerberg will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to discuss whether further sanctions against NZ are appropriate.
The Israeli government has already withdrawn its ambassador and barred New Zealand's ambassador from Israel.
Israel's embassy said "until further notice" no more sanctions would be imposed against New Zealand.
This news came after reports of a bitter phone call between the Israeli leader and New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully where Netanyahu said NZ's actions amounted to a "declaration of war".
"My ambassador has just arrived in Israel today. He will have a meeting with the Prime Minister tomorrow, so until further notice there are no further sanctions," said Patricia Deen, spokeswoman for the Israeli embassy in Wellington.
Israel withdrew its ambassador from New Zealand and barred our ambassador from their country after New Zealand co-sponsored a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel on Christmas Eve.
The UN Security Council resolution called for Israel to stop building settlements on occupied Palestinian land. It was picked up and sponsored by New Zealand and three other countries after US President-Elect Donald Trump reportedly pressured Egypt into dropping it.
The resolution was passed on Saturday after the US abstained instead of vetoing, as they historically have done on votes concerning Israel.
Netanyahu personally phoned Minister of Foreign Affairs Murray McCully before the vote, his office has confirmed.
Israeli publication Haaretz, citing unnamed western diplomats, described a "harsh" phone call between the pair.
"This is a scandalous decision. I'm asking that you not support it and not promote it," Netanyahu reportedly told McCully.
"If you continue to promote this resolution from our point of view it will be a declaration of war. It will rupture the relations and there will be consequences."
McCully reportedly refused to back down, according to Haaretz, telling Netanyahu the resolution was consistent with New Zealand policy on the dispute.
McCully's office refused to publicly comment on the content of the conversation.
Deen said the phone call had been "blown out of proportion" but didn't want to comment on it in detail.
Earlier this week, McCully publicly said that Israel shouldn't be surprised by New Zealand's position.
"We have been very open about our view that the [security council] should be doing more to support the Middle East peace process and the position we adopted today is totally in line with our long established policy on the Palestinian question," he said in a statement.
New Zealand has used its time on the Security Council to consistently call for a halt to settlements.
Its two-year term as a non-permanent member ends this month.
New Zealand was the only western nation to co-sponsor the resolution, joining Malaysia, Senegal, and Venezuela.
The Security Council passed the resolution 14-0, with the United States abstaining.
Netanyahu is furious with the decision. He has halted aid to Senegal and said "friends don't take friends to the Security Council".
In 2014, Israel was New Zealand's 55th largest two-way trading partner
I get the feeling that the only reason why they aren't implementing any more sanctions on New Zealand is that there aren't any more that they can implement on their own.
As it relates to current events this does not breach the IvP moratorium, however pls keep it civil - for my sake at least.

Netanyahoo is losing touch with reality, outside world finally notices.
There are two main reasons this idiot is still in power.
The first is because he's not half as right wing as he makes himself out to be, he's just a total coward over losing his power. The second is that there is no viable person to replace him.

If not for the fact that Israel is a nuclear state, then yeah, I'd be tempted to say take them at their word.
Though New Zealand vs. Israel would be one of the most random and unexpected wars ever.

I find it funny when Netanyahu sounds just like Kim Fatty the Third.
Both are nuclear powers and both have a manchild ruling them.

The Obama administrations actions here are pretty much literally the least they could do to mark displeasure with the fact that the two state solution is dead and Netenyahu's tantrum in response is really pretty extraordinary. Why a meaningless gesture gets such a response is beyond me. Especially with Trump coming in and signalling unwavering support for settlement building with his ambassador choice and the US congress's histrionic response condemning Obama for "abandoning Israel" the US gravy train has no signs of slowing down. Frankly this shows more how Obama is gutless on this given Kerry said the two state solution would be dead in two years four years ago (my math may be fuzzy here).
Also what the hell is with Teresa May's pathetic attempt to curry favor by being as loud as possible at condemning the Obama administration over this? She must be really desperate for Trump or, less likely, Israel to like her and couldn't be more blatant about it. Sad thing is I bet it will pay off.
Theresa May couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery and she's desperate for some political 'friends'.
So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.

Well, if your official introduction tour in Europe features you trying to broker backroom deals behind the backs of all Europe, like she tried to do with Merkel, you have to look elsewhere. Maybe the thatcherite dream of UK+Russia will come to fruition soon?

Nah, it is a joke based on that Thatcher strategy paper that advocates cozying up with Russia in order to contain the evil unified Germany.
