This article fails to mention top Israeli military men breaking protocol and publicly criticising the damage fundie Netanyahu is causing between the historical US Israel relationship with actions that are widely seen as pure, shameless sabre-rattling for his re-election.

The ex head of Mossad has publicly called on Israelis to excrete this extremist from power, calling Bibi's demands for a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities "the craziest thing I ever heard".

Crazy is what Netanyahu does best. No wonder he's in with the US Republicans, universally renowned for their craziness.

It's not what damage they can do, it's how much.

This article fails to mention top Israeli military men breaking protocol and publicly criticising the damage fundie Netanyahu is causing between the historical US Israel relationship with actions that are widely seen as pure, shameless sabre-rattling for his re-election.

So in other words because some on the left don't like it, Netanyahu should just shut up, I mean, who cares if Iran attacks the country, because we all known he Iranians or more specifically, the Mullahs are peace loving people that just simply adore Israel and want to live in peace and harmony with its Jewish neighbors. How dare speak out of concern for his country!

The ex head of Mossad has publicly called on Israelis to excrete this extremist from power, calling Bibi's demands for a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities "the craziest thing I ever heard".

Have you ever wondered how much truth is in it or are you going to take their word face value? Didn't the NSA and the CIA say to us that they don't spy on American citizens? Also, didn't you say there is an election looming? Hmmmm.....

Crazy is what Netanyahu does best. No wonder he's in with the US Republicans, universally renowned for their craziness.

"Crazy", the very definition of that is that the country voted for this clown in the WH not once, but twice...

It's not what damage they can do, it's how much.

2 more years until the madness of Obama comes to a thankful end!

Bass,

I didn't read your post but I'm sure you will have further reinforced the point I'm making in the second to last paragraph.

@Madverts, the Iranians are mucking around with nuclear energy projects but only for "peaceful" purposes, I really doubt that even the average Iranian on the streets of Teheran believe that. Netanyahu is kind of a jingoist war monger, and he has NO RIGHT to try and mess with US politics. Mr.Obama already knows that the Jewish lobby, PRO Israel etc..is very strong in the USA but it is NOT strong enough to buy or persuade ALL American voters, that is why Mr.Obama is in POWER and that dingaling Mitt (the mittens) Romney is out to graze on the pasture.

Why doubt it? Madverts isn't quoting Faux News.

If it’s not too much like critical thinking, Google the relationship between Meir Dagan and Netanyeehaaa™ yourself, including this from Ha’aretz, Israel’s oldest newspaper:

Ex-Mossad chief Meir Dagan to headline anti-Netanyahu rally

Eventually 'someone' is going to get a tad over zealous with their 'campaign of truth' and get caught wagging the dog. I suspect that day is drawing near as the put up or shut up date draws near. While we are all looking over there, someone hopefully will not take advantage of that fact and pull a fast one on us all. You'd have to be a fool to go to a party you created but everyone you wanted there bolted town to avoid. Clearly the sane ones here must be missing something, no?

What does Jimmy Carter, who negotiated the peace deal between Israel and Egypt in the 1970s, have to say about this?

Cut Israel off completely already unless Netanyahu does what the US says -- he can't keep spitting on the US and then coming over to demand they lap it up and not expect any consequences. Cut them off, now. Let Israel now that it was their leader's choice, and their choice to elect him again with nothing from the US, or someone who is a little less of a zealot and racist and with whom the US might speak rationally and support.

If that were true, then you wouldn't have made that comment.

Nice try.

This has nothing to do with FOX News.

So you want me to go by a one-sided far left publication?? If I go by that I would have to believe everything that comes from minnions supporting national Barack channel. Add to that the libs are trying to ouster Bibi, yeah, I smell a very foul fish and once again, libs will try anything and I mean anything to say and do, except the truth.

the Iranians are mucking around with nuclear energy projects but only for "peaceful" purposes, I really doubt that even the average Iranian on the streets of Teheran believe that.

So then why lift ANY sanctions? Keep them in place until you can get get some concessions from the Mullahs.

Netanyahu is kind of a jingoist war monger, and he has NO RIGHT to try and mess with US politics.

So in other words, because it displeases the left and the Sainted one from grabbing a foot on his legacy, Netanyahu should step aside, allow the Mullahs to have their way threaten Israel, push to the corner where might I add that they have their own Nukes and will use them and oh, by the way, Saudi Arabia is also worried and have their own stash of Nukes in Pakistan ready for delivery if need be to shell Iran and if the Saudis team up with Israel and allow them to use their airbase, you know it's Starting to hit the ceiling and that could lead to an all out destabilization of the region and not to mention an arms race in the region, but libs don't think about these things, his majesty most definitely doesn't, but hey, as long as he can possibly make a deal that will make him look good and put a star on his.....resume, then all the fallout would be worth it, why care, he'll be out of office 18 months from now anyway.

Mr.Obama already knows that the Jewish lobby, PRO Israel etc..is very strong in the USA but it is NOT strong enough to buy or persuade ALL American voters, that is why Mr.Obama is in POWER and that dingaling Mitt (the mittens) Romney is out to graze on the pasture.

El, sometimes you say some very interesting things.

No, if he wants to stay in power, let him. Just caught off Israel completely and let him lead them to the grave a little faster. I'm not really surprised, given your adherence to a non-news company's rants and raves and bigotry, that you would support a terrorist like Netanyahu just because you don't like Obama, but it's still pretty low of you to support a man who literally spits on your nation and demands you -- yes, you, bass, save him while he does it; and you're buying into it hook, line, and sinker.

As long as the sun rises and the tide ebb and flows, I can assure you that will never happen.

That's why I left msnbc!

that you would support a terrorist like Netanyahu just because you don't like Obama,

As far as that comment is concerned, I'll you now, the terrorist isn't Netanyahu, of that I'm certain.

but it's still pretty low of you to support a man who literally spits on your nation and demands you -- yes, you, bass, save him while he does it; and you're buying into it hook, line, and sinker.

On the contrary, I find it appalling that we have a president that could give a damn about the country, our allies and worries about appeasing our enemies, worries about his legacy and couldn't care less about trying to govern from the middle and do the right thing for the nation overall. But this guy thrives on being a hack partisan. As I said once before, the 18 months will too, pass! Can't come soon enough!

Israel was a formed nation for the worlds Jews. It has pushed aside the indigenous population aside to make room for the Jews of the world. Britain played a major roll in this Over 100 years ago. The gurilla fighters in pre WW2 were the recent immigrated Jews, they taught the Arabs well. Come Adolfo Hitler targeted Jewish persecution and murders, an Israel formed. US has supported financially Israel since day one. Due to the number of Jews in US media and politics this was an easy task.

Yes, I do have sympathy for the Palestinians. They have been pawned away for the last several decades.

Am I anti Semitic, not at all. Jews have not been accepted in many parts of the world through history. They have had limited choices in history.

With three major religions from the region I think Israel needs to open its eyes and accept the nation and not a religious state.
