Benjamin Netanyahu is 'a chickens**t prime minister' and 'coward', says US official

Benjamin Netanyahu has been branded a “chickenshit prime minister” and “coward” by a senior official in the Obama administration.

The official, who has not been identified, reportedly said that the Israeli leader had “no guts” and was too scared to launch wars, suggesting that he would not launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran in order to help prevent Tehran from building a stockpile of nuclear weapons.
The claims, which were made during an interview with The Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg (http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/10/the-crisis-in-us-israel-relations-is-officially-here/382031/), reflect a significant deterioration in US-Israel relationships amid Mr Netanyahu's controversial plans to construct Israeli settlements on Palestinian land in the West Bank and the highly-disputed territory of East Jerusalem (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israeli-settlers-criticised-for-overnight-move-into-disputed-east-jerusalem-9807044.html), which the Obama administration believe have undermined Secretary of State John Kerry’s peace process.
The US official continued to say that Netanyahu has dodged responsibility to strike deals with the Sunni Arab countries and Palestinians, with which the most war to date ended after 50 days in August with 2,100 Palestinian and 73 Israeli deaths.
He said: “The only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat. He’s not [Yitzhak] Rabin, he’s not [Ariel] Sharon, he’s certainly no [Menachem] Begin. He’s got no guts.”

Wait, so he's criticizing Benny for not starting his own wars and not pretending he wants peace with Palestine? Is this a reverse psychology media stunt or is he just trolling?

[FindLiberty]

Ah, yes. Call him names...

Try saying, "What are you, CHICKEN?"

That might just work like it did on Marty McFly in the "Back to the Future" movies.

DD's handlers approve that BB's good for bombing defenseless people in Gaza but upset that he does not bomb Iran. In BB's defense, Iran actually has some military capcity to fight back if Israel tried to attack.

Israel is America's best ally sharing our values and only non-racist democracy in mideast surrounded by non-moderate extremists. But Israel is tiny, America as its ally should defend Israel and start war with Iran.. once Iraq war is completed.

A major Jewish American policy group called on the White House to “hold to account” an anonymous official who slurred Benjamin Netanyahu (http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.623326), while the another declared the matter closed.
“We ask that the person responsible be held to account and the appropriate steps be taken by the administration,” said a statement Wednesday from the leadership of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the foreign policy umbrella for Jewish groups, referring to a report this week in the Atlantic quoting an anonymous official as describing the Israeli prime minister as “chickenshit.”

‘Chickenshit’ attack enrages Netanyahu and lobby, but will it stir voters against Obama?
