Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, currently doing his utmost to see his country through violence and turmoil, sent out this tweet thanking President Obama for his support of Israel:

And then deleted it shortly thereafter:

Did Netanyahu make a mistake, or was he making a deliberate statement by deleting the tweet?

One thing’s for sure: thus far, President Obama has not shown himself to be a friend or ally to Israel.

Me too.
