Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before Congress challenging President Barack Obama's Iran policy as well as the premier's controversial "Arabs are voting in droves" comments during the Israeli election campaign have so infuriated African-American Democrats that "it will be very difficult" for them to lend a sympathetic ear to Israel's concerns in Congress, Newsweek is reporting on Friday.
“The Congressional Black Caucus is gone,” a Democratic congressional aide told Newsweek.
The reported alienation felt by Black Democrats has practical significance for Netanyahu since it effectively kills any chance that lawmakers could submit legislation mandating new Iran sanctions that would have enough supporters to override an Obama veto.
“Bibi ensured there will be no veto-proof majority in the House,” a Capitol Hill source told Newsweek.

Did Netenyahu have any bridges with Black Democrats to begin with?

He might be, considering it gives Obama a free hand in Congress on Iran ...
BUT, from what I’ve been reading about Netanyahu’s position on Iran, he figures he’s lost already, in terms of the deal being put together by Obama, so perhaps he isn’t losing sleep, now!

Black Democrats of ANY kind have permanently burned their bridges with everyone as far as I am concerned.

So what’s the point of an article like this except to mislead and confuse the issue about Bibi’s stand for Israel?

Only in terms of giving Obama a “veto-proof Congress” in regards to Iran.

Which “bridges” were those?
The congressional black caucus is one of the most antisemitic organizations in the world.

Only in terms of losing a “veto-proof Congress” with what Obama is doing with Iran.

The Black Caucus is irreparably racist -- it's right in the name -- and verbally attacked ambassador Dermer for (you guessed it) disrespecting the first black president.

The ‘Black Caucus’ better hope American Jews don’t ever wake up and pull their money from the dimocrat party.
To: PapaNew
It’s to point out where previous articles had talked about a “veto-proof Congress” with Obama and Iran ... “that” is now NO LONGER TRUE with this particular development.
I had read those previous articles about it being a veto-proof Congress, and thought to myself ... “That’s good!”.
Now ... that thinking of mine is NO LONGER VALID!
