Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Purpose in Addressing the US Congress on Iran
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/06/15 | Rabbi Dr. Daniel M. Zucker

Iran's lousy track record in adhering to restrictions, cooperating with inspections by the IAEA, ending its support for terrorism, and ending its bellicosity towards the West-

Over the past several weeks the American and Israeli national presses, as well as the American Jewish press, have debated the wisdom of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to accept House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to address a joint session of Congress concerning the Iranian nuclear program. President Obama indicated quite clearly that he was most displeased by this prospect and applied quite some pressure on Israel in an effort to force PM Netanyahu to cancel the speech—all to no avail. We might want to ask why Obama desired to scuttle such a presentation on the part of the Prime Minister, and what drove Netanyahu to resist all this pressure.

Clearly Prime Minister Netanyahu and the bulk of Israel’s security apparatus view the threat of a nuclear Iran as an existential threat to the State of Israel; for thirty-six years the Islamic Republic of Iran has issued threats against Israel’s existence. Both of Iran’s Supreme Leaders—the late Ayatollah Rouhollah Khomeini and current reigning Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—have continually called for the destruction of Israel and the liberation of Jerusalem. Former Iranian Presidents Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad indicated their desire to see nuclear weaponry used against Israel. Given the animosity of the current Iranian regime towards Israel and its long history of supporting any and all terrorist movements attacking Jews and Israelis, the Israeli assessment of danger in Iranian possession of nuclear weaponry capability is both prudent and warranted.

Bottom line: Netanyhu doesn’t want Iran getting nukes to mass murder jis people. Our president is willing to assist Iran in any way to ensure that they can.

Snopes is two old hippies and their helpers based in a trailer park in California. But you probably already knew that.

Perhaps you’re right, but the story you posted is 100% false.

I enjoy pointing out to liberals when they are wrong, but nothing is gained by posting lies that conservatives are spreading. It only serves to undermine the big message.

Amazing how they keep parroting a 1948 plan that was a poor idea then and impossible now after seventy more years of Muslims trying to murder the dam-ed infudel Jews and Christians Grow up, media guys, the Muslims already have 57 countries and they’re taking over more and more as we type. Israel they don’t get, however. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. It belongs to the Jews - as even their koran “allah” god makes clear.
