A speech by Zionist Union alliance head and Israeli opposition leader Isaac Herzog was cut off in the middle of a broadcast on Israels Channel 2 television network due to concern that Herzogs remarks constituted elections propaganda.
Theres no doubt Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks well, but lets admit the truth: the speech we heard, impressive as it might have been, did not stop the Iranian nuclear program, Herzog said on the Tuesday night broadcast regarding Netanyahus address to Congress, according to Israel Hayom. It also wont affect the deal being put together, either in terms of content or timetable. The painful truth is that after the applause, Netanyahu remained alone. Israel remains isolated, and the negotiations with Iran will continue without Israeli involvement.
Herzog called Netanyahus speech a serious blow to Israel-US relations that wont change the [Obama] administrations position and will only widen the rift with our great friend and strategic partner, a schism that we will all pay the price for.
Upon arriving back in Israel on Wednesday morning, Netanyahu said at Ben-Gurion International Airport, After my short visit to the United States, I return to Israel knowing that many around the world heard what Israel has to say about the impending deal with Iran.
In my speech before the Congress, I presented a practical alternative, which would impose tougher restrictions on Irans nuclear program, extending Irans breakout time by years, the prime minister said. I also called on the P5+1 [nations] to insist on a deal that would link the lifting of those restrictions to Irans ceasing its sponsorship of terrorism around the world, its aggression against its neighbors, and its calls for Israels destruction. I heard encouraging responses from both Democrats and Republicans. They understood that the current proposal would lead to a bad deal and that the alternative is a better deal. Happy Purim.
LOL Wish we could do that here.
bad link?
Bibi told the world that Israel will not stand idly by while Iran develops a nuclear warhead. It will strike when they determine the time is right. With or without the worlds cooperation or approval.
God be with Israel
Want to bet the speech was written by the Obama White House
Not quite sure how things work in Israel but Channel 2 is private.
“Herzogs speech was cut short since, Channel 2 anchor Yonit Levi said, it was ‘blatant election propaganda.’
“MK Shelly Yachimovich, who is in the third slot on the Zionist Unions Knesset slate, said that Netanyahus address was ‘delivered despite a severe warning from the White House, and while [Netanyahu] was aware of the damage he caused while preparing for the speech.’ Yachimovich, who was also on the Channel 2 panel, nevertheless conceded that ‘most Israelis agreed with the content of the speech.’
“She said Herzog would have made ‘exactly the same speech’ but with the difference that the US president and the vice president would be in attendance.”

Good! Herzog has proven to be one of Jerusalem’s Quisling sellout artists.
sadly...
This link is working now.
LOL, so basically the leftist Yachimovich is admitting that the WH opposition to the speech was what was political!
Exactly.
And it makes one wonder why Pelosi was crying if Herzog would have given the same speech.
The forces of evil thought that they had Israel outnumbered back in 1967 and tiny Israel blew them out of the water.
No country is outnumbered if God is on their side.
“This was a great test of Gideons faith. His army of 32,000 men was already overmatched by 135,000 Midianites. Yet God thought his army was too big, and He commanded Gideon to invite all who were afraid to go home. He was left with only 10,000 men.”

The number of men was reduced to 300.
” And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men”
God's people won with 300 men vs. 135,000 Midianites.
“Don't mess with Israel”
~God
