Why Netanyahu’s Speech Matters

MATTHEW CONTINETTI February 28, 2015

It exposes the Iran deal as indefensible — and Obama’s politics as bankrupt. The emerging nuclear deal with Iran is indefensible. The White House knows it. That is why President Obama does not want to subject an agreement to congressional approval, why critics of the deal are dismissed as warmongers, and why the president, his secretary of state, and his national-security adviser have spent several weeks demonizing the prime minister of Israel for having the temerity to accept an invitation by the U.S. Congress to deliver a speech on a subject of existential import for his small country. These tactics distract public attention. They turn a subject of enormous significance to American foreign policy into a petty personal drama. They prevent us from discussing what America is about to give away.

The panicked, at times hysterical White House reaction to Bibi upcoming speech as only worked to elevate it’s urgency and significance more than ever before. This has become Must See TV for those keeping up with world events. You can bet those who are funding ISIS or buying their cheap oil will be watching.

Wonder if he will confirm that Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets on a mission to take out Iranian nuke sites? That would explain the panic, wouldn’t it?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t do that sort of thing ... if you know Netanyahu ... :-) ...

Long, but powerful, sentence from the article:

But it says something about this president that the only country in the world that he treats seriously as an opponent is the state of Israel — that he holds the Israeli government to a standard he applies to no other government, that he is openly hostile to the elected prime minister of Israel and not so secretly hopes for the prime minister to be replaced in the upcoming election, and that he threatens reprisal against a domestic interest group with predominantly Jewish leadership and membership for a disagreement he has with a foreign prime minister — as though Jews were interchangeable when they are not, as in the case of the “deli” where they were “randomly” gunned down, invisible.

AMEN!!

Mr. Continetti tells it like it is. Sounds a little like Trey Gowdy.
