Howard Dean calls Netanyahu a 'disaster,' terms his Congress speech 'stupid' (13 days until speech)
Haaretz ^ | Feb. 18, 2015 | 5:10 PM | Chemi Shalev

In an unusually harsh attack by an American politician on an Israeli prime minister, former Vermont governor and Democratic chairman Howard Dean lambasted Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, describing him as “a disaster” whose decision to address Congress in March was “a stupid thing to do that has harmed U.S.-Israeli relations greatly.”

“I don’t trust Netanyahu. I think he’s not served Israel well,” Dean added.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, the outspoken Dean, who was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, said, “It’s outrageous what’s going on. Imagine Obama going to Israel two weeks before the elections and giving a speech to the Knesset where he told the Israelis how they should run their foreign policy. I think [Republican House Speaker John] Boehner was just trying to get some political advantage. I think he made a mistake but the guy who really made a mistake was Netanyahu by accepting. I think it was a really stupid thing to do and I think he’s harmed U.S.-Israeli relations greatly.”

All of this drama up to a speech they want to hate soo badly it hurts them.

So, when the speech happens will the MSM cover it? They've given it more attention than the superbowl. Will there be hotdog commercials?

Netanyahu, as Esther, laying out case against those who hate the Jews.

May their evil be exposed.

Thanks for the ping,

“12. On one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar:”

Interesting when we note how many times historical dates in Israels history have had repeating patterns of significant biblical events play out in a not dissimilar manner, the 9th of AV being one of the better known with both Temple desolations, but there are many many others,

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 15:4

Netanyahu is certainly the mouthpiece of the Jewish people “for such a time as this.”

That would be like Ryan Leaf giving QB advice to Joe Montana.

Appropriate verse, thanks.

The Jewish Geula bloggers are noticing the parallels...

Ta'anis Esther 5775

On the subject of repeating patterns..

wikipedia:

"A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward or forward."

5775 = 25 x 231 gates
