For two months leading up to the speech:

"BIBI IS DIVIDING CONGRESS"

"HE IS DESTROYING THE RELATIONSHIP"

"HALF OF CONGRESS WILL BOYCOTT THE SPEECH"

Hey, I don't even care about Bibi, I don't even back his pandering politics.

But lol@ the Israeli left, American media talking heads, columnists filling column inches with AIDS-based analysis, and the parrots itt who unthinkingly repeat that nonsense, and then have the chutzpah to style themselves as knowledgeable.

The talk about war is nonsense. There's posturing around this nuclear deal and sanctions but everyone, including Netanyahu, knows there will not be a war with Iran and either the US or Israel.

Anyone who thinks there is: want to start negotiating terms on $1000 bet?

Jihadist really don't care if it is game over. Do you not know that jihadist routinely go on suicide terrorist missions? They willingly strap themselves up with bombs and blow themselves up in the name of jihad. They know it's game over but think it's Gods will.

They are bat-dung crazy in the name of Allah.

The commanders get desposable grunts to do suicide missions, missions they would never consider doing themselves. The idea that Elites in Iran dont mind about boom gave over is lol bad.

The idea that it's fine for more countries to get nukes just because it's fair is dumb.

Things are going the right way and every single country should oppose nuclear proliferation.

Anything over 5k warheads is quite wasteful.
$$$ better spent on chitloads of napalm and black-ops interrogation facilities.

This was an enormous breach of protocol for a foreign leader to come and grand stand in congress during a political campaign. The republicans invited him over just for that, and to lecture and undermine their own president and even gave him a 4 minute standing ovation, plus about 30 in between. Just think about that for a moment. The subservience of the american congress to Israel is amazing. They have more loyalty to them than their own president.

Betcha anything* you can't name them without looking it up.

What's hilarious about the whole herp derp Democrat JINO charge is Dem Jews outnumber GOP Jews 29-1 in Congress. I wonder why the party so committed to assuring Israel's security by preemptively attacking Iran doesn't have more elected Jews providing input. Ulterior motives maybe? Nah.

really? nobody ever heard of this so-called protocol before Netanyahu - indeed many foreign leaders have come to Washington around their elections, and Obama's campaign organizers are in Israel at this moment working to defeat Netanyahu. In any event,Canada and Japan didn't seem to think there was any such protocol.

It's just nonsense designed to either demonize Netanyahu or defend Obama. It doesn't matter which. It's nonsense.

this is rich, in light of the horrible rhetoric W was subjected to.

Anyway, apparently the Zionists control Congress.

Of course the seals flap their flippers.

But ovations certainly aren't given out when the speech is a big ol' slap in the face to half the people there and the president and threatens the bilateral relations, as the idiots' narrative went.

Is it in anyway reasonable to think that Israel should sit silent as a deal that gives Iran the bomb in ten years is reached because an election is coming up? Is the timeline for everything in BHO world based around before/after election cycles?

Maybe he just doesn't want to see a few thousand more American kids get torn up fighting some pointless war in the Middle East over WMDs, though clearly your side does.
