US "Diplomat" Slams Bibi for Defending Israel's Interests

I think Israel is the only US ally that can be slammed for having a Prime Minister who defends its interests in a calm and logical way. Clearly the Obama administration wants Israel to just do what Obama wants, regardless of the consequences to it:

The feeling in Washington is that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been trying to maneuver the US administration over the past few weeks, and we cannot accept that, an unnamed US diplomat told Army Radio on Wednesday morning, in what may have constituted an explanation to the possibly punitive blackout imposed on the details of the Monday night 100-minute talk Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama.

The official went on to cite Netanyahu's conduct in press briefings, presumably those following meetings with Obama and other high ranking White House officials in the past, as evidence of the prime minister's attempt to sway opinion.

The diplomat also mentioned the prime minister's apparent efforts to pressure the US administration through Washington lobbying.

The White House's conduct over the past few days, he said, was an attempt to set things straight.

Yet another unnamed US official was quoted expressing dissatisfaction with Netanyahu over what the Israeli leader said, or rather did not, in his address to the Jewish Federations of North America's annual General Assembly on Monday.

"We had an idea that he might bring something out to push the process forward," the Wall Street Journal quoted the official on Tuesday in referral to an Israeli settlement freeze. "But he's kept it in his pocket."
