He also disrespectfully jabbed his finger at Netanyahu. (1)

I know this post is long, but I wanted to substantiate what I said. Some blogs do not allow links or only 1 link per post. If there is a problem please let me know.
Links are very important - this post is not long at all, have you not seen the walls of text I write!? :)
