I am Getting So Tired of Netanyahu

Is it possible that Israel will get us into a war that we do not want?

Only the most sycophantic MAGA moron can think Trump has any business leading this country into a war. 

Not everything Netanyahu does is pro-American.

In a secretly recorded 2001 discussion with West Bank settlers, Netanyahu explained this commonly held view. “I know what America is,” he told them. “America is a thing that can be easily moved, moved in the right direction.… They will not bother us.”

Netanyahu has a long history now of trying to dictate not only Israel’s foreign policy but America’s. He tried this under Obama and failed. With remarkable brazenness, he secured an invitation from Republican leaders in Congress to address a rare joint session—he’s now made four such speeches, one more than his closest competitor, Winston Churchill—to try to undermine Obama’s plans to consummate what was called the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,” or JCPOA, the deal to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for concessions related to Iran’s frozen bank accounts around the world.

But where he failed with Obama, he appears to be succeeding under Trump. Let’s remember first that a major, perhaps the major, reason the U.S. is facing the fait accompli of backing Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities is the fact that Trump withdrew the U.S. from the accord, thereby freeing Iran to pursue its original plans. He did so at the urging of Netanyahu, AIPAC, and other American Jewish and Christian Zionist organizations.

Not everything Netanyahu might do may even be pro-Israel.
