Netanyahu's speech in front of US Congress

[FAH1223]

Offcourse with such warm welcome and support he will continue with his maximalist position on the Iran deal. His arrogance wont let him settle for anything less. God.. Boehnar is a complete douche for sticking it to Obama and causing a wedge between Republicans and Dems.

Sounds like a hurt bitch. "As someone how loves israel" "we respect israel" " nuclear iran is unnacceptable". She still manages to sound like she's sucking netanyahu's cock even when she's allegedly "dropping the mic".

Of course

Why do you care?

As an American, I care because it shows that the legislature of my country is the most spineless one in the entire world.

But I also care because it further solidifies that money can bring you anything in politics.

Fah, I think u r---the most SPINELESS person here. U have NO independent mind and brain. All you do is posts links about headline news. U don't offer any individual, distinctive thought or opinions that showcases your own. Frankly I am disgusted at the lack of originality in you. I beg your pardon.

Why do Arabs with their trillions investments in the United States and a much of needed energy source fail to counter the influence of Israel on the United States? As a Somali, I wouldn't loose much sleep over Bibi taking over the Whitehouse or Congress, I will pitch in for a case for our poverty ridden people. Politics is all about national preservation and interests, lobby for your own interests and to hell with others.

Jews control money in the united states. There is no need to figure that out. Just see how republicans are loyal to them. Republicans are a party that loves money. Simple as that. They pretend to be anti tax increase, but really what they mean is don't tax the corporates/companies/investment firms, because they finance our careers. Oh tax the middle class, and the below middle class--who cares for them.

Thank God to democrats---they are no better but at least---they strive to be the opposite of the republicans. Which is refreshing, and we ---minorities will take it!

People who do not understand what has been simmering between the two countries take everything for face value. What we see is the erosion of the Israel-American relationship, like never before. The fact that congressmen were considering not going, the fact that Obama refused to see Netanyahu, the fact that Nancy Pelosi former Speaker of the House, Minority leader in the house, and possible future Speaker, would come out so publicly against Netanyahu, the fact that even Jewish lobbies and groups were against Netanyahu, is a huge political change in the culture between Israel and US. Netanyahu has done a lot of harm to Israel.

It's temporary though and only an American adminstration change away for things to return to status quo. Sure Netanyahu may have given a contentious speech, but he is still considered a strong leader within Isrealis, one who they see will be the best to protect their interests. I doubt they will vote him out. He has the platform to antagonize Obama since the Republicans and some dems seems as though they were elected to serve him rather than their president.

Israel is the drama driven "mistress" of Uncle Sam , God be with him , she eventually will take him down

Maybe it is temporary or maybe it is not, that is contingent on the future. But one thing that can not be denied is that there is a real change and diversity within the American Jewish population that they don't always have to be inline with everything that comes out of Israel. What I mean by that is that before they use to see themselves as an extension and tool to further Israel's policies in America. Now, you have a great number of Jewish people and groups, prominent ones at that, that are beginning to diverge from Israel official policy if it diverges from what they think is best. Because so many of them called out Netanyahu publicly on his visit, there were actual congressmen considering not going, and Pelosi publicly criticizing Netanyahu, something that has never happened before.

Side steps Obama and comes to DC at invitation of Speaker Boehner

Gets 20+ standing ovations from all attendees

Blatant lies

Amusing theatre

Amusing theatre indeed..

I have trouble beleiving any difference between Democrats and Republicans on foreign policy and specially this amusing play of "rift" between the 2 on Isreal. It's better than watching house of cards..

[Malachite]

The US Republican led Congress didn't invite Netanyahu to speak because they like him, or wanted to fete him, or hoped to gain his help to do anything..........They invited him to speak, because they knew that he would do exactly as he did, and flame the Obama administration for them......They cheered like crazy FOR THEMSELVES......All they wanted, was to undermine anything and everything that Obama does or tries to do, whether it's bad for the United States or not.

Netanyahu volunteered to play the flunky, because it will help him look tough on Iran for his own popularity sake. He made his laughable comments to the effect that "this has nothing to do with insulting the US," because it's his job to do that, in order to keep American help coming his way......It's disgusting, bald faced lying for the sake of political gamesmanship on all participants parts.

Oh, and the reason why the leading Democrats made sure not to attend, was because they knew that one of the Rrepublican goals, was to take pictures of any Democrat who did attend, and who did even a single polite clap, and pretend that they were showing disdain for their own Presidents policies.

Pure and utter political public masturbation. Nothing more or less

[eliteSomali]

I've never seen so many brain dead zombies in one room. I cringed couple times and stopped the whole thing after 5 minutes. How do you circumvent the president of the country, go in front of congress and tell them they are wrong, lecture them on their own foreign policy and still get applauses every 45 seconds? His whole speech can be summed up by the line: Invade and destroy iran for us because of this unbreakable bond we have.

[TheGrumpyGeeljire]

The Jews have the US by the balls. The government always has to act in the interest of Israel even if they do not want to do so. Netanyahu only has to pick up the phone and call Wall street to blackmail the US into doing what he wants. I think he's the most powerful man in the world.
