“I deeply regret that some perceive my being here as political. That was never my intention,” Netanyahu said in an address before Congress. “I know that no matter on which side of the aisle you sit, you stand with Israel.”
“Don’t be fooled – the battle between Iran and ISIS doesn’t turn Iran into a friend for America; Iran and ISIS are competing for the crown of militant Islam,” said Netanyahu. The problem with America’s potential deal with Iran is twofold, said the Israeli leader. “The first major concession,” he said, is that it “would leave Iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure.” Second, he continued, the restrictions imposed on Iran’s nuclear program would not effectively bar violations. “Iran has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted,” said Netanyahu. “That’s why this deal is so bad – it doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb; it paves Iran’s path to the bomb.”
President Obama said there was nothing new in the speech delivered before the American Congress by the Republican Senator from Israel. President
Obama, meanwhile told reporters later in the day that he read the transcript of Netanyahu’s speech and found “nothing new.” He noted that the Israeli leader did not offer any “viable alternatives” to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and defended his administration’s pursuit of a nuclear deal with the Middle Eastern country.
Does it seem strange that a President, any president, would be forced to defend his policies as the duly twice elected head of his country, while a foreign leader attacks his policies in his country’s highest legislative body, as that leader visits, all unbeknownst to him ?
I digress, maybe it’s just me.….
“[A]s one who values the U.S.-Israel relationship, and loves Israel, I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech – saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5+1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation,” said Pelosi in a statement.
No Republican would have sat through a controversial speech given by a foreign leader when a Republican President in the White Hose was not notified that that foreign leader would be invited to address the country and congress. On that basis the comments of Pelosi is inconsequential and has no bearing, it should not be considered. Any Democrat Jew or not, who attended that speech is disloyal to the President and should hang their heads in shame, they are all a disgrace.
Netanyahu wants war.
As President Obama stated there was nothing new in the speech. We have all heard Netanyahu’s drumbeat for war against Iran before. If Netanyahu did not proffer anything new what is the reason for the speech ?
As Pelosi lamented qoute,“I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech – saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5+1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation”.
Well why would he not be condescending?
He was brought in without the knowledge of the sitting President and Commander-in-chief, to challenge the President and other nation’s leaders work toward a peaceful settlement to the perceived problem of Iran’s nuclear program.
Simply put Netanyahu is a war-monger, if he was to be believed the World would have come to an end years ago based on his predictions on Iran’s intentions.
Netanyahu did not offer anything new, because he has nothing new. He wants war but he wants America to fight that war with Iran, and he wants American soldiers to die so he can have hegemony in the region.
Republican war-mongers do not mind getting into a war with Iran , which by the way would be a grave mistake. Their only problem is that there is only one Commander-in-chief at a time.
So it seem that the strategy is to paint Obama as a weak President who is actually paving the way for Iran acquiring a nuclear bomb, even as he speaks niceties about the president from the corner of his mouth.
ISIS is not a religious group of Muslim fundamentalists, they are a bunch of murderous savages. Netanyahu does not mind playing up the ISIS threat to get what he wants. What Netanyahu and his supporters will not say is that some supposed leaders of ISIS have been revealed to be Jewish operatives pretending to be Arabs.
Those who want to bomb other nations must avail themselves to the duplicitous canard being fed the world by Netanyahu. Ask the Palestinian people who live under the boot-heels of Israeli occupation. However none of that matters, even as the singular largest issue at the center of most conflicts in the middle east, is Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
The fact is that Netanyahu knows that come what may , America will continue to support the nuclear armed Israel. In fact he bragged about it in his speech, quote,” “I deeply regret that some perceive my being here as political, that was never my intention, I know that no matter on which side of the aisle you sit, you stand with Israel.” There you have it, no matter what President is in the White House Jewish money will ensure that he stays in line and do the bidding of Israel.
Many people in the state of Israel disagrees with Netanyahu’s incessant drum-beat for war. A large percentage of Israeli’s also disagree with Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people. So too do they disagree with the idea that Israeli should be at war with Iran.
Netanyahu wants war with Iran just on American dime and with American blood.
The warmongering clowns on the right are too stupid to figure it out.
Israeli’s going to the polls in two weeks can show Netanyahu the door, that is their best hope for peace.
