Former US labor secretary Robert Reich offered sharp criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, saying that the premiere’s intention address Congress on Tuesday, against the wishes of the White House, was driving many US Jews to speak out against Israel when in the past they may have remained silent, and that the speech was “poisoning the relationship” between Israel and the US
In a post to his Facebook page, Reich, who was secretary during the Clinton administration from 1993 to 1997, appealed not to Netanyahu, but rather to the people of Israel, and warned them that the prime minister was meddling in internal US politics.
“You should know that the new-found alliance between your prime minister and our Republican Party, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and some wealthy right-wing Jews here (such as billionaire Sheldon Adelson), is poisoning the relationship between Israel and the United States,” wrote Reich, who is Jewish.
“Netanyahu’s decision to address Congress on Tuesday to argue against a nuclear deal with Iran that’s one of the president’s highest priorities, and also to speak to AIPAC – just two weeks before your own national elections – foists your own domestic politics onto ours,” he wrote.
Reich said that the speech, which is scheduled for Tuesday, was driving Americans, among them many in the Jewish community, to turn against Israel. Netanyahu is expected to try to sway Congress against President Barack Obama’s push to seal an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.
“It is having a polarizing effect here in the United States, pushing many Americans to side against Israel, and thereby posing a long-term threat to Israel’s security,” he said.

It's become downright pitiful at this point!
I worked in an all-male, heavy housecleaning business for wealthy clients; our reputation was such that we would receive new clients’ keys, enter their homes without meeting them, and depart; we only once had a theft of a piece of costume jewelry.
Though in California, we had a young Jewish man colleague from Brooklyn. We all went to see the Breakfast Club movie. We were in the dark, the movie was almost over, our friend realizes something, he stands up in the middle of the theatre and yells “HE’S A HEBE!”
He was a fine young man, very earnest, a good employee and a fine person, but he as a Jew, HATED JEWISH PEOPLE.
Something on the order of 88% of Jewish-Americans voted for Obama in 2008, and 70% in 2012. They know he hates Israel. They’re not stupid!
A majority of American Jews have a death wish against Israel.
Reich’s reasoning is a little short on logic.
Yes, and very shortsighted.
The Turd Reich speaks.

You are wrong. Most of the non-orthodox jews who voted for Obama, and by most, I’m talking at least 60%, dIdnt buy that he was anti-Israel. They don’t trust the sources that said that, and even some synagogues just wouldn’t believe it. Most jews are not self hating. Some are, and even Seinfeld during the time of his show was. But most are not, and most have a deep respect for Israel. More than respect. But they believed the Obama admin line about him being pro Israel but against settlements or wanting peace, or whatever libs cloak their pro-Pali sentiment under.
I can tell you that some liberal jews today feel differently about obama than even before the election in 2012. I don’t know how many, but some as definitely starting to consider him if not antiSemitic, at least pro-Arab/islam.

Reich himself is a Vichy Jew, proclaiming the twisted view of Vichy Jewdom to the entire panoply of Liberal Fascists who now control the executive arm of the US government, and who pretend to rule the USA by executive fiat.The People and Congress are having none of it.
The Congress is quite right to “poison” relations between Vichy Jews in Israel and those in the USA. Neither groups amount to less than dribble in the history of Judah or the United States, and both deserve the dust bin of history.It is they who seek the twisted fate of nuclear armament in order to promote an Iranian Apocalypse. Eff every one of them, including Reich. The Republic is being preserved and if necessary the tree of Liberty will be watered.
Ping to the Vichy Jew proclamations.
Shouldn’t he be getting out of a tiny clown car somewhere?
Intifada II = ~1,000 dead Israelis + ~4,600 maimed.
That equals a 9/11 everyday for Israel during a 2 year period.
Nobody likes a Jew like Netanyau who speaks the truth.
Why would he go this far in straining the US-Israeli relationship? He knows who BHO is and what he is doing. The world knows that this deal with Iran is equivalent to Munich 1938 for today's Czechoslovakia, Israel.
Place the blame on the most reckless US administration is history, not on a man who fights terror.
That “death wish” is called liberalism. That disease infects a lot of nominal Christians too.
And yes, it is a form of stupidity, since the USA is the Great Satan while Israel is the Little Satan. Empowering Iran means that the USA is still the primary target.
I heard that Reich once fell off of the box he stands on to pee, and banged his head on the toilet bowel.
ESAD, you f’n pygmy!
Robert Reich is a small, mean man. In all ways.
In 48 hr the visit will be over and the left can go back to their worship of Chemical.
This guy is a lying Jew and a Jew hater.
Everyone who hates Israel is going to hate her no matter what. Bibi speaking isn’t going to change anyone’s mind.
And if Obama really wants to stop Iran from getting the nuke he should welcome Bibi’s help.
God, how I despise JINOs. I didn’t say “hate” ‘cause I’m not supposed to hate anyone. But I can despise them.

A little ‘short’ on a lot of stuff. He was Clinton’s college roommate/friend in college. I don’t know what Slick used him for. Maybe as a scout for chicks with short skirts or something. Who knows.
He’s about as big a socialist as they come.
