Partly Facetious : Obama disrespected by Netanyahu

21 Aug, 2019

"International relations are based on personalities and how the top people get along..."
"Well, I disagree with you, I mean Obama used to not like Netanyahu and yet he could do nothing to change US Israeli relations. Do you recall that Obama was disrespected by Netanyahu and..."
"I recall a piece written by the New Yorker magazine's editor-in-chief citing US officials describing Netanyahu as "myopic, entitled, untrustworthy, routinely disrespectful toward the president, and focused solely on short-term political tactics to keep his right-wing constituency in line."
"I am not sure how short sighted he was - Netanyahu is still there and Trump is Obama's successor who is the most pro-Israel president the US has ever had."
"So you reckon Netanyahu's refusal to give a visa to the two Muslim congresswomen would have no repercussions for Netanyahu or Israel?"
"Nope, it won't."
"Even if the Democrats win the next elections?"
"I would reckon not even if either of the two Muslim Congresswomen become the next US president."
"Oh dear, but we should be thankful that Prime Minister Khan gets on well with Trump."
"So he can get an Israeli visa..."
"Don't be facetious, Trump likes strongmen - he likes Kim Jong Un, Putin, Modi and now The Khan."
"Between you and me The Khan is closest to him in many ways..."
"Are you referring to the three wives and need I add The Khan never had more than one wife at a time even though it is allowed in Islam and Khursheed Shah for one..."
"No I wasn't referring to that."
"How about they were both playboys in their youth..."
"The jury is out about the present at least as far as President Trump is concerned..."
"Indeed and they both hate domestic opposition with a passion, I mean The Khan constantly states that the corrupt won't be spared while Trump referred to Hillary as crooked Hillary and his tweets about all those who criticize him are pretty vicious."
"Hey, but there is one big difference between the two men: Trump's appointees rarely stay on prestigious and lucrative jobs for long while extensions and reshuffling is The Khan's way..."
"Ah yes, there is that."
