Only Obama hasn't called
Prime Minister Netanyahu has discussed this with French president Hollande and with German chancellor Merkel.
But not with President Obama, who has not seen fit to call Netanyahu or take a call from him. This is quite amazing behavior for an ally. I am aware as all readers are that the two men have a difficult relationship, but that is no justification. If the president has time this week to fund-raise, he has time to call the leader of an ally under attack.
I am sure such a call will happen sooner or later, perhaps over the weekend. But the damage has been done: Israel is under attack, and the president of the United States cannot bring himself to call its prime minister. Israelis are unlikely to forget this, nor should Americans. Our alliance system cannot function when we treat allies in this manner. Once again, every vulnerable ally from Riyadh to Taipei to Seoul to Manila to Kiev will wonder how reliable an ally we are, at least under the present leadership we have.
UPDATE: British prime minister Cameron has also spoken with Netanyahu. Obama is alone in his failure to do so.I cannot tell you how much hatred I feel right now for the President of the United States.

not hatred, but despiction for the Kenyan s-a-t-a-n
A lot Americans also feel that hatred and we've felt that way for a long time. If only McCain or Romney had had the guts to win their elections.
Of course, the islamomarxist antisemite, Israel-hater in the WH will call Bibi on Shabbat.
If Obama did call it would only be to scold the Jews for something. Anyway there is not a single person on earth outside of his circle of media flacks who believes a single utterance he makes.
Not a surprise in the least. What can you expect from a president who goes to bed while one of his ambassadors is being attacked and then the next morning jumps on a plane for a fundraiser!
America made a big, big mistake in electing this clown.
Stay strong, Israel. You are the one shining light in the Middle East. My prayers go out to you.
