"During his final year in the White House, US President Barack Obama is preparing a metaphorical roadside IED for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It cannot be that the tainted relations between the two leaders will not end with Obama exacting some sweet revenge."
Variations of the above statement have been uttered for a while now by senior American and Israeli officials since Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress last year during his campaign against Obama and his nuclear agreement with Iran.
This week, the New York Times brought the fraught Obama-Netanyahu relationship back into the headlines when the paper expounded on the US president's possible future revenge against the Israeli leader that will be served up cold in the form of a UN Security Council resolution on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Several officials have said that Obama has grown so frustrated with trying to revive Middle East peace talks that he may lay down his own outline for an Israeli-Palestinian two-state solution, in the form of a resolution in the United Nations Security Council, the Times reported.
“There will be a great temptation to do something in the final year. “For a president who came out faster and more aggressively on the Middle East than any of his predecessors, there is a gnawing sense of incompletion and perhaps even failure,” Aaron David Miller, a vice president at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, told the Times last month.

Real revenge would be for the us to stop spending 2 billion a year to protect Israel with military equipment.
We give them 6 billion a year in cash on top of that.
The commercials in which Israel is asking for donations to feed their hungry is an eye opener for me.I don't ever recall Israel being desperately in need of anything other than the US having their back.Has Israel always been 3rd worldish,or is that a recent occurrence?
Real revenge will be when we turn against Israel and God turns against us. For God states plainly that whoever blesses Israel will be blessed and whoever curses Israel will be cursed. Keep on playing stupid games with God. He has done every single thing he promises in the Bible. Do you really think he won't hold true on this one?
