Netanyahu Is Said to View Iran Deal as a Possible Trap

WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, stepping up his effort to blunt a diplomatic offensive by Iran, plans to warn the United Nations next week that a nuclear deal with the Iranian government could be a trap similar to one set by North Korea eight years ago, according to an Israeli official involved in drafting the speech.

Mr. Netanyahu is scheduled to address the General Assembly next Tuesday, a week after President Obama and Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, are to speak at the United Nations.

But the Israeli government, clearly rattled by the sudden talk of a diplomatic opening, offered a preview Sunday of Mr. Netanyahu’s hard-edged message, in which he will set the terms for what would be acceptable to Israel in any agreement concerning Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Throughout its history Israel has been able to receive moral, financial and ultimately military support from the United States to guarantee its survival and well being. Yet thoughtful Israelis always knew that the day would come when Israel would only survive and prosper by its own resources. Today Israel is faced with perhaps the greatest strategic challenge of its existence. Obama has made it clear that he has no intentions of intervening in Iran. Israel finds itself essentially alone.

Netanyahu is a wise man and knows whereof the Koran and Sharia law allows double speak for Muslim purposes.

In their 20s:


Bibi on the right, defending his homeland.
Clown on the right, continuing to hate America.
