**How Typical for the Bully Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו to Use This Humanitarian Forum to promote himself for the upcoming election in Israel! He is justifiably called out for his display of self serving antics at this auspicious gathering. GG** #JeSuisCharlie Jerusalem (AFP) - Images of Israels premier elbowing his way to the front row of world leaders in Paris sparked both embarrassment and amusement back home -- providing rich pickings for opponents in the upcoming election.

We would expect the prime minister to represent us with dignity and not to disgrace us, wrote Shimon Shiffer in the top-selling Yediot Aharonot newspaper.
