Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issued a statement on Tuesday, noting that despite the controversy surrounding his speech before the US Congress next month two weeks before elections, he does not intend to back down from accepting the invitation.
Netanyahu began by sending "condolences to (US) President (Barack) Obama, the American people and the family of Kayla Mueller. We stand with you." The comment refers to a US captive of Islamic State (ISIS) who was killed in a coalition airstrike.
Turning to the speech, and relations between Israel and the US that have been in great tension over recent months, he continued "Israel’s survival is not a partisan issue, not in Israel nor in the United States. This doesn’t mean that from time to time Israeli governments have not had serious disagreements with American administrations over the best way to achieve the security of Israel."
"Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, declared Israel’s independence in the face of strong opposition from US Secretary of State George Marshall," reminded Netanyahu, and indeed the US did not provide any military aid in either of Israel's first two wars of survival.
Moving through history, he added "Prime Minister (Levy) Eshkol’s decisions at the start of the Six Day War, Prime Minister (Menachem) Begin’s decision regarding the nuclear reactor in Iraq, and Prime Minister (Ariel) Sharon’s decisions to press ahead with Operation Defensive Shield; these were all strongly opposed at the time by American administrations."
After noting the disagreements on Israel's security have occurred irrespective of whether Israel's prime minister was from the left or right, or whether the US president was a Republican or Democrat, he remarked "none of these disagreements led to a rupture in the relationship between Israel and the United States."

It certainly can be as in, I am going to the the Jew banker, or Jew lawyer.
You care why?
You have to admire his manners, and his testicular fortitude. Our fag-in-chief has neither.
AMEN!
He’s the very best!
We’ve already identified a few anti-semites and islamist facilitators in this process.
Let’s see who else won’t show.
I care because it makes his motives questionable, and muddles and distracts from the real issue, a nuclear Iran.

That’s right, Benjamin! All of Israel, both Judah and the House of Israel; in the land and those scattered over the earth. Your position requires you to act, not wait for the leaders of the goyim.

So if he doesn't wait then he is ok with Iran building Nukes? Your logic escapes me. Unless what you are really complaining about is the fact that he is Prime Minister.
Is that why black people slur their words ?

“I think people are getting way too over hyped for this. It’s not some historic event, an epic showdown, it’s not for domestic consumption. It’s a campaign speech for back home. He can’t wait two weeks until after the election?”
If you really believe the above, you missed out when intellect was given out.
