Yedioth Ahronoth, a
paper produced by Jews in the Stolen Land alleges
that 'Gates' complained about the
Zionist crazies who control the place.
Yedioth Ahronoth
does not bother to tell us that 'Gates' is absolutely right, that Jews are
vicious, murderous, Paranoid rogues who make the world
think that little Adolf understood them all too
well. Perhaps honesty is too much to expect from a Jew.

Israel Is Ungrateful
Gates believes Netanyahu's government has offered the Obama administration "nothing in return" for its generous security aid, which includes access to top-quality weapons, assistance in developing missile-defense systems and high-level intelligence sharing.The former defense secretary said that not only is Netanyahu ungrateful, but his polices were "endangering his country by refusing to grapple with Israel’s growing isolation and with the demographic challenges it faces if it keeps control of the West Bank." Bloomberg added that Gates' analysis met with no resistance from other committee members.
Robert Gates: Israel an ungrateful ally
Former US secretary of defense says Prime Minister Netanyahu's policies isolating Israel on a global levelYitzhak Benhorin Published:
09.06.11, 08:15 / Israel NewsWASHINGTON – Former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates blasted Prime Minister Israel on a global level.
Gates' harsh [ make that honest - Editor ] words were said during a meeting of the National Security Council Principals Committee, Bloomberg's Jeffrey Goldber reported Tuesday.
Gates believes Netanyahu's government has
offered the Obama administration "nothing in return" for its generous security aid, which includes access to top-quality weapons, assistance in developing missile-defense systems and high-level intelligence sharing. The former defense secretary said that not only is Netanyahu ungrateful, but his polices were "endangering his country by refusing to grapple with Israel’s growing isolation and with the demographic challenges it faces if it keeps control of the West Bank." Bloomberg added that Gates' analysis met with no resistance from other committee members. Unlikely partners. Netanyahu and Obama (Photo: AP)
This was not the first time Gates had expressed his frustration with Netanyahu's government:
In 2010, when Israel announced new building plans
for east Jerusalem during Vice President Joe Biden’s
visit to Israel, Gates said that Netanyahu should
"call Obama when he was serious about negotiations."
The former defense chief was also irked by
incessant squabbling with the prime minister
over US arms sales to its Arab allies.
According to both Israeli and American sources,
Netanyahu and Gates met in March, when the
latter was visiting Israel.
The PM reportedly lectured Gates at length on the
possible dangers Israel may face following such arms deals.
According to the report,
Gates resented Netanyahu's tone and reminded him that the
"sales were organized in consultation with Israel
and pro-Israel members of Congress."
Washington's frustration with Israel is growing,
the report hedged, and such feelings are becoming
more poignant as the US is once again gearing to
go to the mat for Israel – this time to thwart the
Palestinian Authority's nearing bid for recognition
by the UN General Assembly.
The US has voiced its objection to the PA's unilateral move,
which Washington believes would undermine the
Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and is likely to
veto it in the Security Council.
Bloomberg's analyst believes that the US
vote in the UN will be in spite of Netanyahu – not to help him.
Sources close to Netanyahu said Tuesday that
Netanyahu's first concern is to look out for Israel's
interests, adding he will continue to do so relentlessly.
"The prime minister has been calling for direct negotiations
since he took office, and he's sure such talks could lead to a solution.
Netanyahu insisted upon Israel's security needs and
the demand to recognize it as a Jewish state,"
a Jerusalem source said.
