What is BiBi thinking? (Original Post)

Feb 2017
OP
BainsBane
(53,093 posts)1. He sees Trump as more favorable to Israel
He was happy when Trump won.

(24,789 posts)2. How long will that
last?
cilla4progress
(24,789 posts)3. Did he absolutely hate
Obama (BiBi)?
BainsBane
(53,093 posts)4. Yes
cilla4progress
(24,789 posts)6. I know that Pres Obama was more even-handed
in his mideast policies...not only 100% "for" Israel, so I'm somewhat familiar with the history. But I thought BiBi had some respect and even affinity for Obama on some other issues.
FFS, we send them enough military support they ought to appreciate him for that, at least (though I know that's an allocation by Congres...).
Bibi and Trump: 2 hardliners (although Trump is a flip-flopping idiot).
BainsBane
(53,093 posts)7. This Frontline documentary covers much of it
cilla4progress
(24,789 posts)8. Thanks!
Can't stream at home. We DVR Frontline, but that must have run prior. Hopefully this will run it again.

his SIL has contributed to the illegal settlements in Palestine. That's why Bibi loves him some cheato.

stupid Trump is?
