What a joke.
Israel wouldn't exist without the financial and military backing of the USA.
Instead of thanks, 'Bibi' gives a speech to the opposition of the current sitting President. What other world leader would have the 'chutzpah' to consider this. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
But the distaste for the sitting prez is so great people are cheering for this foreigner.
He thinks he knows better than the current administration as if they have no brains. Same genius wanting to rush into Iraq.
If Iran is a problem to Israel, they should deal with it themselves.
What has Israel done for America?
What about their own illegal nuclear weapons program?
The very first part of his speech was doing nothing BUT thanking the USA and President Obama for all they have done for Israel.
Did you listen to the speech?
Chutzpah? Did you see what the President of Iran did a few years ago at the United Nations in New York? He outright insulted the USA....I believe it was soon after the President of the US had given a speech there.
I agree, Israel should perhaps handle it themselves and as Netanyahu said, they will if they have to.
The current administration does have no brains. At least not sufficient brains to deal with this issue.
They ( the current administration and those they appoint to high positions ) come from a world of academia, civil protests and the ideology of intellectuals in their ivory towers not borne of the real world nor how dictators and aggressors actually operate. Their's is a cloistered world. They believe they are smart enough to reason and negotiate with anyone, even those who have done nothing but murder and preach death for the past 40 years. They lack a fundamental understanding of how to deal with such men.
As for Israel's "illegal nuclear program" I'm not sure what that means.
Who cares if Israel has nukes? They're not the lunatics in this discussion.
Has Israel kidnapped 100 American hostages and held them for 400 days? Has Israel preached and taught in their schools that all people of a certain race/religion (jews) should be murdered and annihilated and their skins used for various morbid things? Has Israel funded terrorists for decades who have blown up, beheaded, shot to death and in other ways killed scores of people, including many Americans?
No, Israel hasn't. But Iran has. Who would a reasonable person assume would be a greater threat with nuclear weapons?
Which one of these guys do you think has the more appropriate life experience in dealing with a terrorist backed state? :
