Please, don&#8217;t interfere.&#8221; The report said Netanyahu&#8217;s aides interpreted this as a &#8220;threat.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The photo that accompanies the story shows Obama talking to Netanyahu with his feet on his desk. CBS posits;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Israeli TV newscasters Tuesday night interpreted a photo taken Monday in the Oval Office of President Obama talking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an &#8220;insult&#8221; to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>They saw the incident as somewhat akin to an incident last year, when the Iraqi reporter threw a shoe at President Bush in Baghdad<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adam Horowitz at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philipweiss.org\/mondoweiss\/2009\/06\/obama-to-israel-we-are-going-to-change-the-world-please-dont-interfere.html\">Mondoweiss<\/a> writes;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We&#8217;ve been following on the site how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philipweiss.org\/mondoweiss\/2009\/05\/this-is-beginning-to-look-like-panic-israeli-knesset-considering-bill-making-it-illegal-to-criticize.html\">Israel seems to be in a state of panic<\/a> and that Israeli <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philipweiss.org\/mondoweiss\/2009\/06\/it-was-only-a-matter-of-time-israeli-govt-minister-compares-obama-to-pharoah.html\">anxiety over the US\/Israeli relationship<\/a> seems to be hitting a boiling point. When Obama finally does go to visit Israel, he might want to watch out for some flying shoes. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Indeed. <\/p>\n<p>Imagine if President Bush had told any other country that same thing &#8211; how often did we hear &#8220;You&#8217;re either with us or you&#8217;re with the terrorists&#8221; or complaints about the &#8220;axis of evil&#8221; or &#8220;bring it on&#8221; and other examples of the  Bush arrogance? How is this any less arrogant? And worse, it&#8217;s with an actual unfaltering ally against terror. <\/p>\n<p>I dare him to use that kind of language in dealing with North Korea, Syria or Iran. I wonder if Bill Clinton is still ready to lay in a ditch and fight along side the Israelis, because this kind of talk is going to inspire another Arab invasion of Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cigar Mike at Babalu Blog writes, &#8220;What a dick&#8221; about the Obama administration warning to Israel&#8217;s &hellip; <a title=\"&#8220;We are going to change the world.
