How do Americans feel about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing Congress next month? According to one new poll, more support it than object -- despite the controversy over the way he was invited. 43 percent of respondents said they agreed more with the following statement:Other people say Iran is getting closer to building a nuclear weapon. As one of the world's most knowledgeable leaders on the Middle East and the Iranian nuclear program, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu should address Congress before the March 31st deadline for a political framework with Iran. Also, more respondents than not (47 percent to 32 percent) disapprove of the way the administration has reacted to the coming speech. http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-02-18/poll-shows-americans-want-netanyahu-to-speak Edited February 18, 2015 by Ulysses G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) This article is spot on. Bibi is putting American Jews in a weird position, but trust me, it won't make them republican ! Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is giving chutzpah a bad name. Over the past several weeks, Netanyahu has aligned himself and his cause with the Republican Party, which an overwhelming majority of American Jews reject, and many actively despise; he has told European Jews to pull up stakes and come to Israel; and, according to a report just released by Israel’s comptroller, he has spent large amounts of Israelis’ tax dollars (well, actually, shekels) on cleaning his private home (to the tune of $2,000 a month) and his wife’s makeup and hairstyling ($68,000 over a two-year period).... Some American Jews, to be sure, support the Republicans, but for most, to back a party so hostile to minority and immigrant rights is all but unnatural. It’s not in their DNA. This egalitarianism also informs many American Jews’, and American Zionists’, support for a two-state solution establishing a Palestinian state that abuts Israel. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/netanyahus-curious-gop-connection/2015/02/18/1035c618-b7a7-11e4-aa05-1ce812b3fdd2_story.html Edited February 19, 2015 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion that Netanyahu's moves on the USA domestic political scene are unconnected to the agendas of certain heavy duty backers is naive, at best.

Popular Post up-country_sinclair Posted March 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2015 Did you even read the link you posted? The link makes it abundantly clear that members of Congress have access to intelligence, but it says nothing about them having "their own intelligence" as you posted. And that's because they don't. Honestly, how could anyone who purports to be knowledgeable on US politics claim that "Congress has their own intelligence"? Spin all you like, but that is what you posted, and it's nonsense. But enough of this silliness, it's time to get back on topic: This campaign speech might have helped Netanyahu in the polls in Israel, but it hasn't impacted the P5+1 negotiations with Iran. Not one iota. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wat dee Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I find this Israeli cringe mentality totally weird. Democrats seething with anger because Netanyahu is bad mannered enough to accept an invitation secretly above the head the POTUS, but unable to voice their feelings for fear of upsetting the Jewish vote. While Republicans gleefully applaud the Democrats’ frustration and the humiliation of their own President This episode alone dismisses all counter claims as to who exactly is running the most powerful country in the world...the elected government (twice) or some pariah state 6.000 miles away, rapidly descending into racist tribal mayhem. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. It could happen nowhere else in the world. I would be bemused if it had not such tragic consequences for the people in the Middle East. Who "owns" America ? One would think it's citizens would at least own it's money...... well they do its debt anyway. The Fed is privately owned. Its shareholders are private banks. In fact, 100% of its shareholders are private banks. None of its stock is owned by the government. The question in relation to this topic....... What religion are the owners of these private banks and how strong supports of the said country in discussion are they? Tail wagging the dog?

Wat dee Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The most dangerous radical warmongering state in the Middle East is IsraelThis statement is so foolish that it is hardly worth addressing. Something like 300,000 people have died in Syria in the last few years, just for starters. That number will be peanuts if ever Israel tries it on with Iran hence the warmonger trying to get the US involved.Hi tech weaponry is not the answer to modern warfare as the US know to their dismay. Russia could wipe out Israel in seconds and for strategic reasons. The US are not stupid enough to wreck their country for some small area the size of California with no strategic value. A few bombs on Tel Aviv and Dimona and Israel would be another Japan. Actually Israel is more the size of Wales than California. Why would Russia nuke Israel for strategic reasons What reasons? Quite a few Russians living in Israel these days! Then you go an to say America wouldn't get involved becuase there is not strategic value! contradict yourself much? Pretty obvious you don't know much, isn't it! Bibi is confident... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyfrosty Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 A former head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency has described as “bullshit” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the US Congress, saying the Israeli premier lied to the US lawmakers about Iran’s nuclear threat. In an interview with Israel’s Channel Two aired on Friday, Meir Dagan said Netanyahu’s anti-Iran rant was no more than “a political speech that caused diplomatic and defense damage to Israel.” He warned that Netanyahu’s policies toward the nuclear negotiations between Iran the P5+1 group of countries would only bring out the Israeli regime’s growing isolation in the international community. Dagan also lashed out at the Israeli premier for antagonizing US President Barack Obama over Iran’s nuclear program. Last week, the former Mossad chief accused Netanyahu of bringing “intolerable” risks upon the Israeli regime by fraying ties with the US, adding the premier’s policies are detrimental to Tel Aviv’s future and security. “I feel that we are now at a critical point regarding our existence and our security… Our standing in the world is not brilliant right now. The question of Israel’s legitimacy is up for debate,” he stated, adding, “We should not erode our relations with our most important friend…This is not proper behavior for a prime minister.” On March 7, Dagan will reportedly give a keynote speech against Netanyahu in a rally in Tel Aviv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyfrosty Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Despite his own intelligence agencies countering his false allegations, Netanyahu pushes on adamantly to contest and discredit the US presidency on Obama's own turf. This may wash with a neoconservative political elite who have a history of meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign states. In fact, they couldn't care less even when such meddling is accompanied by full-fledged wars of occupation. However what their loud cheers and enthusiastic applause didn't drown out is the reality of the deception undertaken by Netanyahu.
