Herzog: PM's Congress speech will cause 'strategic damage' to US ties (only 5 days until speech)
Ynetnews ^ | Itay Blumenthal

Posted on 02/26/2015 8:23:16 AM PST by Dave346

Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to cancel his planned speech to Congress on March 3, saying it will cause "strategic damage" to Israel's ties with the United States.

"I call on Netanyahu again: Stop. Enough, Bibi, enough. You aren't going. Don't go. You will cause strategic damage to Israel's standing and to the relationship with the United States," Herzog said at a press conference, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname.

Herzog also condemned Netanyahu's decision not to meet with Senate Democrats when he goes to Washington next week, saying the prime minister is "playing politics inside American politics." In turning down the offer, Netanyahu said such a meeting could "compound the misperception of partisanship" surrounding his visit.

The Israeli opposition leader is Netanyahu's main challenger in elections next month. On Thursday, he also condemned Netanyahu's decision not to meet with Senate Democrats when he goes to Washington next week, saying the prime minister is "playing politics."

"Every time Netanyahu finds himself in a problem, he has a stock of excuses and scare tactics. The first on the list is Iran and Iran. For four years, only Iran. I don't know another prime minister who warned his people of existential threats on a daily basis. I don't know another prime minister who told the younger generation: 'You shouldn't be here.'"

Obama wants to insure Iran gets the nukes they have promised to use against Israel and Bibi is suppored to worry that objecting to this will “damage” US ties. What good are those ties if this is the situation?

Herzog is Enemy Within in Jerusalem Just like we have some Enemy Within in WashDC. People who consistently work to undermine weaken and demoralize their nations. And sell their homelands out. Unfortunately, as we’ve discovered in washDC, there’s no shortage of such Quislings nowadays.

Herzog lives in a fantasy land if he still thinks this administration places any value on a relationship with Jews over one with Muslims.

Not only that he is from the wing of the Israelis that wants to give PLO arabs who never came from Israeli territory half of Jerusalem.

Why give the Dems, (who will not attend or walk out) a chance for a photo opportunity (in a closed door meeting) to tell the Jew voters “See! We met with him because we LOOOOVE you Jews?”

Obama was such a huge success in determining the outcome of the 2014 US elections that he has decided to take his show on the road.

Herzog should “get real” ...

The article says ...
“Every time Netanyahu finds himself in a problem, he has a stock of excuses and scare tactics. The first on the list is Iran and Iran. For four years, only Iran. I don’t know another prime minister who warned his people of existential threats on a daily basis. I don’t know another prime minister who told the younger generation: ‘You shouldn’t be here.’”

WELL ... Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t want to be talking about the SECOND HOLOCAUST ... “after the fact” ... but rather “before the fact” in order to prevent it. Herzog obviously wants to stick his head in the sand like an ostrich!

Hertzog is a leftist first.

He probably hates Jews as much as Obama.

Father Almighty, I lift up the nation of Israel to you. Protect her and give her people strength, especially the IDF. I pray Father supernatural wisdom for Benjamin Netanyahu and ask his message to the American people reverberate through our land by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Open the eyes of our nations people Lord and turn their faithfulness toward Your chosen people. Confuse the enemies of Israel Lord, confuse their allegiance against Israel until the day you crush them in the land you promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I ask this in the name above all names, Jesus Christ the righteous. Amen, Amen!

‘’I don’t know another prime minister who warned his people of existential threats on a daily basis,’’ declares the deeply ignorant Isaac Herzog.

Virtually every day leading up to Hitler’s invasion of Poland at the start World War II, Winston Churchill had tried to warn the British about the existential threat posed by Hitler’s increasing rearmament. If they’d listened, there would not have been a Holocaust.

Now we have Benjamin Netanyahu warning the Israelis about the existential threat to Israel posed by the nuclear-arming Iranians, while his internal enemy, Isaac Herzog, attacks Netanyahu for doing so.

If the people of Israel are foolish enough to elect Isaac Herzog to lead them, what can we expect but another Holocaust?
