After Announcing Netanyahu Boycott, VP Biden & Kerry Meet With Herzog (Major Bibi Opponent)
JP Updates ^ | 8 Feb 15 | Jacob Kornbluh

After announcing he will be skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu”s speech to Congress for a trip abroad, US Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry both met on Saturday with Labor leader Isaac Herzog on the sidelines of a security conference in Munich, Germany.

The two sides insisted that the meetings were informal. But it reportedly revolved around security matters and the Zionist Union’s defense strategy, Israeli media reported.

On Friday, Biden announced he’ll miss Netanyahu’s speech to Congress due to a pre-scheduled overseas trip, yet unnamed. Both Kerry and President Barack Obama said last month that they would not meet with Netanyahu during his visit to DC, citing its proximity to the March 17 elections.

But that didn’t stop them from meeting with Herzog, who’s trailing Netanyahu and the Likud Party in recent polls.

In his speech at the Munich conference, Herzog said, “The time has come when Bibi (Netanyahu) must announce the cancellation of his visit to Congress. In conversations I’ve held with many European and US leaders, it is clear there is great anger over Netanyahu diverting the discussion on Iran’s nuclear program for political gain, and turning it into a confrontation with the president of the United States.”

“This speech that was born in sin, as an electioneering ‘production,’ endangers the security of Israel’s citizens and the special relationship between Israel and the US,” the opposition leader charged.

Speaking to Israel’s Channel 10 Saturday night, Herzog doubled down on the prime minister, saying that Netanyahu “won’t get to meet with a single American official on this visit — not from the National Security Agency, not from the White House, not from the State Department,

“It’s a complete boycott. Even if that’s not stated, that’s the story,” he said.

Bibi needs to show up at Congress and just rip the hell out of the “Left Shark” commies and Nazis who boycott his speech. That’s what this is all about. The “Left Sharks” like the antisemitic Nazi in the White Hut and his butt boy, Rimshot Joey Biden want Bibi gone in order to remove the threats against Iran and other Islamofacist radical thugs.

Good questions....

Even Herzog himself admits that Obama sees this being about stalling his deal to allow Iran to get nukes and that Obama doesn't want that interfered with.

In conversations I’ve held with many European and US leaders, it is clear there is great anger over Netanyahu diverting the discussion on Iran’s nuclear program for political gain, and turning it into a confrontation with the president of the United States.”

Obama’s sycophants, his circus of liars and hypocrites, are out in force on this one. They will silence any discussion of the dangers of Iran acquiring a nuke.

And we must remember this is a parliamentary system. Any aid given to any liberal group aids all of them in their effort to form a coalition government to replace Netanyahu.

Am I to believe that the Israelis are stupid enough to buy all this Bambi Bullshit?
Were I a voting Israeli, I would run like hell from ANYONE that Nazi/muzzie/commie/Kenyan endorsed.

It’s hard to imagine a leftist Israeli party, but there really is one. I imagine it’s funded by world socialists who want Israel ultimately to fail, and because of that, behind the scenes at some level by Satan.

The kiss of death.

Or in this case the kiss of defeat.

Don’t worry the GOP won’t do anything. Expect nothing and get nothing.

In the same way as everything makes more sense when I assume that Obama is Islamic, things also make more sense when I assume that the GOP-E is liberal.

O and Kerry are INCAPABLE of honesty or honor

INCAPABLE. Nor do we know of any earlier time when they were honest or honorable

Thus, they were probably “born that way”.... and so it would be unfair of us to criticize them.... we need to instead enable, facilitate, applaud, approve, endorse, and promote their ‘alternate lifestyle’ of deceipt and trechery

More even than Biden, Kerry strikes me as a dunce. And to think that man nearly became president.
