Quote of the day:
"His words were not directed to the ears of Mahmoud Abbas, but to Obama's ears in order to
prevent his (diplomatic) move in January, a move which Netanyahu fears. When people hear the words of
Netanyahu, they should realize that he does not display any political initiative or any political courage, but
only political survival."

Quote of the day:
"Barack Obama’s farewell address to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday was starkly anti-Israeli,
or at least the antithesis of the current Israeli zeitgeist. Not because of his praise for the Iran nuclear deal or
his token words of condemnation of settlements and occupation, but in the deeper layers of his speech; in his
shameless promotion of universal values, in the presentation of his vision as the presumptive leader of the free
world, with emphasis on the word “free.”
