Question

whats the big deal about Netanyahu speech to congress?

Answer 1

Benjamin Netanyahu is not anti-American. He has every right to tell whoever will listen that Iran is a nuclear threat to Israel and the entire world. Islam with the leadership of the Republic of Iran plans on pushing Islam onto all the world.



Have you so soon forgotten Abimnejab and his "wipe Israel off the map" statement?. This is Iran. No freedom loving nation can afford to put Nuclear Weapons in the hands of radical Islamic terrorists.



Have you heard of Yasser Arafat and Saeb Erakat? These are two of the biggest Islamic liars who ever lived. Every word out of their mouth was a lie to benefit Islam. They do not know the truth. Or the truth is not in them. The Arabs often accuse Israel of committing a "holocaust" again the Palestinians. They inflate the number of Arabs to make Israel look bad. They spew lies. Victor Sharpe wrote a very good article on these lies.



Iran and Palestine will never settle for a 2 State solution. They want Israel gone, anihilated. If a peace treaty ever comes; it will be a L I E.

Answer 2

This speech is a big deal! Israel is pleading for our help and is warning us against making deals with Iran and their nuclear programs. This could hurt America and the rest of the world. Iran has not been able to be trusted and for very, very good reasons. They have lied for over 30 years under it's terrorist leadership. Plus, Iran refuses to cooperate with any inspections which is indicative of a nation that's hiding big things! The fact that President Obama would not attend or listen to the speech from the leader of Israel, an ally nation of the United States of America, that was invited by the Speaker of the House, is truly disrespectful and very small of him. There isn't a President in our history as a nation that would have snubbed another ally leader like this! Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu clearly spoke the facts on Iran's past behavior and how many Americans, American soldiers and people all over the the world, have been killed through terrorism by the leaders of that rogue nation. The idea that Nancy Polski should cover her eyes and cry against what was said is unbelievable! The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and this is what the Prime Minister's speech was intended to show. The Prime Minister only stated historical truth! Let me repeat, historical truth!

How could anyone, especially our President, treat the leader of an important nation with so much disrespect and stand against the only ally nation that represents freedom and democracy in the Middle East. Nancy Polski could. God help us. We are in real trouble. President Obama continues to reveal his real character.

Answer 3

Because Israel is NOT a Muslim country - therefore, refuses to attend the speech. And, the brainless Democrats (with their heads up Obama's butt) do the same.

It's really a shame because Israel has been friends with America for eons....in fact, the American military trained ALL of the Israel military.

Obama, once again, is causing more and more damage. In fact, as the days go by.....Obama appears more insane than anything else. The man needs to be declared insane and institutionalized.

Answer 4

There is no big deal, only in the minds of those whom oppose American values flushed down the drain. The very ideal that he gave the speech is a credit to our freedom of speech in our Constitution. If anyone even thinks that Iran will keep any sort of agreement is so out of touch with reality. Iran is behind all the terrorism in the Middle East. President Obama and his supporters that acted like the Ostriches that stick the heads in the ground as if those that they oppose will just go away. This is just how this administration has dealt with Iran

since he came into office. Netanyahu told the real story and this administration has much to answer to. But does anyone thing that Obama will admit to his failings? Absolutely not, he would rather sell this country down the drain then admit he is wrong. Iran and Obama are so much alike, both will use lies and deceit for their own gain...

Answer 5

In reality, it shouldn't be a big deal ... because in recent history our foreign policy goals have been highly aligned. Only in recent years have our goals fallen out of alignment to the degree they are now. Netanyahu knows what our administration will not admit, that a nuclear Iran will lead to a nuclear region. He also knows that the leadership in Iran can't be trusted, that they have never kept they treaty obligations, and they aren't going to start now. The president's goal is noble, but the notion that Iran is suddenly going to reflect all the diplomacy and honesty we desire is naive. They won't. They will continue to develop their nuclear program behind closed doors no matter what we negotiate. They will continue to trade propulsion technology and re-entry system designs with North Korea through back channels as long as it takes to mature their weapons program.



Netanyahu is speaking to Congress to present a counter to the narrative coming from the president and the state department. He lives in the eye of the storm, surrounded by nations from which daily hostilities come ... and Iran is the only nation in the region to openly call for the abject obliteration of the state of Israel. And that's not ancient history, that's 2014. You can imagine how that reality conflicts with the president's narrative that Iran is a nation of peace looking for an opportunity to show the world they are committed to the idea.

Answer 6

I watched it. Many including Pres. Obama didn't bother. I believe that it was one of the most important speeches ever given in Congress. Patriotic and serious minded Americans should have watched and learned. Don't you want to fully understand what the problems with the Administration's negotiations are about.

Answer 7

Forget protocol. Netanyahu was a world leader today speaking about the dangers of a nuclear Iran. At least he was being a leader, which is more than I can say about OUR president.

Answer 8

It's a very big deal because the fate of the world could be in the balance on whether we choose to back them fully as we have mostly done in the past or go against them which Obama would like to do. But make no mistake if it comes to World War 3 we better be on Israels' side or we will lose.

Answer 9

As a narcissist, obama needs to be the center of attention all the time. No exceptions.

Answer 10

Israel is our best friend in the Middle East. That the USA ignores or becomes anti-Israel is to our own detriment. Netanyaho's speech is what our own President should be telling us and warning us because terrorism and the threat of Iran/Iraq with nuclear weapons is imminent. I'm proud of congress for hosting Netanyahu and listening to him. I hope it stimulates them to action.

Answer 11

The big deal is that Netanyahu is anti-American. He is attacking the United States for attempting to work out an agreement with Iran that might prevent a war down the road.



And the unpatriotic conservatives in the House are lapping it up. Not because they are "pro-Israel." They aren't. A person can't support the legitimate rights of the Israeli people and at the same time endorse Netanyahu's violent agenda. But the anti-muslim and racist attitude fo the extreme right in this country is more important to them than anything -- including the best interests of the United States..



Keep in mind these anti-American elements are NOT criticizing a proposed treaty with Iran. That might be warranted. They are attacking the effort to find a peaceful solution, period.



That's not supporting the Israeli people. More important, it is an active and deliberate betrayal of the interests of the American people.

Answer 12

Nothing much...just that he's up for re-election in two weeks, and his opponents can't come to the US and grandstand like Netanyahu. And for some reason, many of his own Countrymen are also up in arms about Bibi's ill-timed visit! But, what would Israeli's know - as compared to what America's Zionist shills claim?

Answer 13

It's a big deal because he was going to make the speech bypassing Obama at the invitation of the Republicans no big deal, Nancy Palosi was there and I'm sure Obama watched it.

Answer 14

There is strong evidence that the intelligence community has stepped up its game in the wake of these reforms. U.S. detection and exposure of a secret Iranian enrichment facility at Fordow constitutes a strong disincentive for Tehran to try such gambits in the future. The 2007 National Intelligence Estimate’s finding that Iran had halted its organized nuclear weapons program in 2003 increased confidence that the intelligence community was following the evidence rather than the political winds in reaching conclusions. The deal will also open up to regular inspection all parts of Iran’s nuclear fuel cycle – including uranium mines, fuel fabrication plants, and nuclear waste sites. These and other transparency measures under negotiation would make it much more difficult for Iran to engage in the clandestine pursuit of a weapon.

Netanyahu and Boehner worked together to discredit Obamas plan. That is not the way you do business with the Whitehouse. If the president feels it's intention is propaganda he has every right to cancel it. What Boehner did is unprecedented, strike another notch for the defenders of the Constitution.

Fear, it's the easiest way to motivate the right. Mankind should end war before war ends mankind. We have to negotiate, or we may see more turmoil in the Middle East. Netanyahu is slick, a real used car salesman. Compare it to the speech he made 10 years ago. Identical, he was a doomsayer then too.

I have nothing against Jews, but, when they try to con us into sending more money and maybe personal, I get very cynical.

Answer 15

Dear Pinheads,

Winston Churchill said, “If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Upon arriving at the Oval Office the Uber-Pinhead America elected TWO TIMES took the bust of Winston Churchill out of the Oval Office and gave it back to England.

Do you have any idea who Neville Chamberlain was?

Stupid question.

Mea culpa.

Answer 16

Before answer to this question, we should know that who tell: true or false.

Which country has nuclear weapon now? Israel or Iran

Which country always attacked to other neighbors? Israel or Iran

Which country leaders are command to their self army to kill men, women and children without sin? Israel or Iran

Which country leaders help to terrorism group in Syria and Iraq such as ISIS, for destroyed ancient sculptural, culture and building, today? Israel or Iran

Which country leaders and people are claimed with their religion learned that they are unique and selected by god, and others in all world should service to them? Israel or Iran

Finally Netanyahu not only is big enemy for USA, but also he is a big problem for Israel.

Answer 17

There isn't any large offer, just within the thoughts of these who are at odds of United states ideals purged lower the actual deplete. The perfect he offered the actual talk is really a credit score to the independence associated with talk within our Make-up. In the event that anybody actually believes which Iran could keep any kind of contract is really from contact along with actuality. Iran is actually at the rear of all of the terrorism in the centre Eastern. Leader Obama as well as their followers which behaved such as the Ostriches which stay the actual mind within the floor as though the ones that these people are at odds of may simply disappear. This really is precisely how this particular management offers handled Iran

because he or she arrived to workplace. Netanyahu informed the actual tale which management offers a lot in order to response to. However will anybody point which Obama may acknowledge in order to their failings? No way, he'd instead market this particular nation lower the actual deplete after that acknowledge he's incorrect.

Answer 18

I read a great deal of disrespect and ignorance in some of the above comments. It's quite disappointing that people don't evaluate the whole picture and know what they are talking about. Pray for a better future!

Answer 19

For me I found it interesting due to a foreign Prime Minister of a Head of State not having addressed a Joint Session of U.S. Congress since Winston Churchill. It's mostly historical and it does not occur that often. As from a U.S. Citizen stand point I found it uncomfortable in a way due to it feeling awkward in a way because that spot for speaking is for the U.S. President. I found that part weird, but it was historical too. I would have enjoyed it better if the U.S. President were to like in a way grant the foreign Prime Minister permission to use "his" spot for speaking to a Joint Session of U.S. Congress.

Answer 20

The big deal is that Americas elected leaders have vowed to their zionist masters in such a shameful way. BB wants the U.S. to go to war against Iran. Iran is the victuim of U.S. agression. the U.S. overthrew the democratic government in Iran and installed the puppet Shah until the Iranian people rose up and overthrew Him. We lived with a nuclear USSR and we can live with a nuclear Iran. besides Israel is believed to possess the bomb.

Answer 21

Netanyahu is not anti American him and america are practically best mates, Netanyahu (Israel) gets weapons from America to terrorise the people of Palestine whos land was stolen from them by Israel. Israel aren't the only criminals that America have armed America have armed ISIS, the Taliban, asaad and all of those middle east extreme groups that they call terrorists. America arm all of these groups and countries to make them out to be terrorists so that they can go in and introduce law And order or whatever when really they are going in and killing men women and children all around them.

Answer 22

Add your answer



You ask: "What is the big deal about the Netanyahu speech to the U.S. Congress?"

1) The current American president is an anti-(Jewish) semite.

2) The current American president has turned his face away from the God of Israel ... aka ... the One True

God. For this, everything he does will result in abject failure.

3) Because the current American president is so inept, the American people are also deaf, dumb and

blind and think "peace in our time" can be accomplished by giving nuclear weapons to a rogue regime.

Answer 23

Obviously we here would not be privy to the exact wording of the Iran agreement. But the Prime Minister does not feel it is in the best interest of Israel and its citizens. He is trying to let the American people know that it is a bad agreement. And put pressure on our elected official to not endorse it. Having said that the threat is closest to Israel and not the US at this time. So maybe this administration should stay out of the way and let Israel handle it.

Answer 24

Because Bibi is trying his darnedest to have the US fight a proxy war again Iran for Israel. He believes Israel is threatened by future Iranian atomic weapons. In reality, Israel is much stronger than Iran and could easily fight its own war without the US. But wouldn't it be much simpler for him if a speech in America to the conservative war hawks could prompt such a war in his behalf? Pres. Obama is trying to conclude a treaty with Iran which could make the area much safer. But if Bibi could sink that effort, he'll be much closer to his goal of igniting the war he wants.

Answer 25

The Iranian government has said that Israel should be wiped off the Earth. Iran has also said that all Americans should be killed. If Iran gets the Bomb, they will use it on Israel and possibly the U.S....now do you see how important the speech was. Obama is sympathetic to Muslims and Islam and now you know why it is important to keep Iran from getting the bomb. Liberals deny that Iran will use the bomb while Iran says they will....who do you believe?

Answer 26

Perhaps Obama knows how many of us wish B Netanyahu was President Of The United States instead of Obama!

Answer 27

The Vatican created Islam to prevent Arabs from becoming Christian. The Pope considers all who are not bowing to him through Catholicism, to be Heretics.

They could not get them to bow to the Pope, so they did what they could to keep them from turning to the Bible..

It is the Vatican that is trying to annihilate Islam. Using Israel and Saudi Arabia (both also created by the Vatican). North African Priests wrote the Koran and trained Mohammed to be a Prophet. Now that they have the money and means to have strong armed forces and nuclear capability, the Vatican treats Islam as a Monster they have created and must kill.

Answer 28

It was a great speech



Any liberal that thinks the guy was out to lunch

had better pray America does not come under

attack. The blood is on your hands.



Good God they are cutting peoples heads off. Mostly Christian or Jew

What more do you want?

Answer 29

How could anyone, especially our President, treat the leader of an important nation with so much disrespect and stand against the only ally nation that represents freedom and democracy in the Middle East. Nancy Polski could. God help us. We are in real trouble. President Obama continues to reveal his real character.

Answer 30

I wish someone would make a documentary of all the threats against Israel from Iran and many Islamic leaders. Not that that would convince many of those that are living in La La Land. Iran has been involved in so much of the turmoil in the Middle East. They contribute weapons and money while many of their own people suffer. And look at clueless Russia... they help Iran and North Korea both of which have leaders that are blinded by hatred of the free world. If we think 9/11 was tragic, just multiply that by millions. If the blind lead the blind both will fall into a pit.

Answer 31

For years, the Iranian people have blamed their own government for keeping them impoverished and out of the mainstream World Economy. Now, with Netanyahu's speech having been broadcast across Iran, the average Iranian citizen will have a new scapegoat!!!

Bad move on Netanyahu's part. Now, even the populace of Iran can become anti Israel instead of being against their own government!!

Answer 32

I can only speak for myself but my understanding is that the big deal is that Pres. Obama thought the Republicans broke protocol by asking N. to address them. Further, Obama didn't attend, and a lot of Dems didn't. I'm not sure (or forgot) how protocol was broken. Either way, I think his speech was pretty good - better than any speech I've ever heard Pres. O give. Also, I do think it's kind of sickening that Israel is our ALLY! And Obama can't go listen to him give a speech? And yet he'll travel across the world to meet people who hate America.

Answer 33

Israel is used to being the one that everyone hates for whatever reason all they are trying to do is protect their homeland just like we would protect our home land if somebody again tried to attack us. The prime minister is trying to tell us that we can not allow a nation to get nukes because those same idiots are the ones that are saying that Israel should be wiped off the map

Answer 34

Nuts and Yahoo is a foreign leader addressing OUR congress. Foreign leaders have no business influencing our government. Our president address Congress, and should never be ANY foreign head of state. Israel should mind their own business instead of stealing our tax money to bulldoze Palestinians away from our land.

Answer 35

Many in congress and America support Israel because they are the only western style Democracy in the Middle East, its a great place to visit and you don't have to worry about getting kidnapped and having your head chopped off in some Jihad video like other Middle Eastern countries. Obama (like most leftists) hates Jews almost as much as he hates America and therefore loves anyone trying to exterminate them like Iran, and is trying to throw Israel under the nuclear bus and they strongly object. There is no conspiracy of influence by "THE JEWS" ...they are simply fighting for their lives and many Americans side with them over the terrorists. Obama and other leftists see Israel and America as the terrorists and they favor despotic tyrannies over free democratic republics like Israel and the US. Leftists even go to ridiculous extremes of making crazy documentaries claiming dictatorships like Cuba and Iraq (under Sadaam) are better than the US and then those movies are given Academy Awards by other leftists in Hollywood that share their insane ideologically extremist views. Leftists have always had an insane antisemitic hatred for Jews. If you want to know more about Obama's crazy ideological mentors google Jeremiah Wright and Frank Marshall Davis. Its no more complicated than that.

Answer 36

Simplestly put. Is this that if anyone actually looks at what Netanyahu says they may see what Bamy is doing. Not that he is doing anything that would help Israel that has been evident from the beginning.

Answer 37

Frankly, the reason it's such a big deal is because of Obama and about 60 other Democrats. They skipped the meeting--for whatever political reasons--even though it displayed a lack of support for Israel. However, it backfired; instead of weakening Netanyahu's voice, it only amplified it, blowing it out of proportion. Israel's history is full of nothing but credible threats to annihilate it and destroy the Jewish race; America's history is full of nothing but turbulent support of Israel. What's new is the Congressional "boycott" which brought the eyes of the press onto the meeting. Plus WWIII is just around the corner--but no biggie!

Answer 38

The big deal is Netanyahu himself , he is bigger than the average african-american

Answer 39

Politics Schmolitics.

Answer 40

It was 100% Rhetoric and no solutions as some already stated. We could all get up there and blow hot air. Just like at our work places, unless you have good concrete viable solutions, your input is worthless. Those with the biggest egos are least likely to see this.

Answer 41

America needs to start listening to people who speak their truth, and the truth. I believe Netanyahu is one of those people. America needs to determine the good guys from the bad guys. It shouldn't be hard considering the bad guys speak of America in terms of wanting to destroy us. WAKE UP!

Answer 42

The Prime Minister is not anti American and America is not negotiating with Iran, the Obama administration is. I trust Israel a whole lot more than Iran.

Answer 43

He is not anti-American. Personally, I am not crazy about the guy and I'm a democrat, however, he does not believe any deal with make with Iran will help protect Israel. Despite my feelings about the guy, he's right, we cannot trust Iran based on their past and current history of state sponsorship of terror. Nor do I think this deal protects Israel. I think it puts Israel on its own alone. Bad bad deal. We need to walk away. The leadership of Iran are our mortal enemies.

Answer 44

Controversial

Answer 45

It's a big deal BECAUSE it's trying to change foreign policy. There's a limit to how much Israel can interfere in American politics but they cross the line. I don't like Bibi for using Congress as part of his campaign - that's just rude.

Answer 46

Isreal is only out for Isreal, not the US. They have been caught spying on us. Yes true, they vote against us in the UN more than any country, fact, both when Dem or Rep in office. They get more country welfare per capita than any other country. Stop praising Isreal , they are one of many US "friends" taking our money and doing whatever they want be we are more afraid of others in the region, but they do us NO favors.

Answer 47

Netanyahu,is NOT anti America,he is trying to warn us,that iran is dangerous.

Answer 48

The way these Liberal fools Follow Barack Obama and his twisted views reminds me of the German people of the 1930's

Answer 49

Iran is about to get the bomb. Obama will do nothing to stop them. Netanyahu is not going to sit around and has decided to take matters into his own hands.

Answer 50

Republicans and conservatives, as well as others who don't think Bibi's speech is not a big deal, shame on you. Netanyahu' first of all, has a "not-liking attitude" towards President Obama. Witness the vile words he used to describe Obama in recent years ( not worth repeating here). And this from a guy (and Israel) who gets just about anything he asks of the United States (military and economic aid) . If I were Obama, I'll stop the bibi-sitting of Israel, once and for all.

Answer 51

No big deal except when it is without the approval of the president or isn't even told to the president .

Answer 52

The Fake Jew( Nut N Yahoe) Is a sleething Mad man . He doesnt want any peace . These fake Khazar Jews get for too much money from Us to allow for any peace ! But the Damned and Booger Crew wont get that !

Answer 53

Hobbit is that your name? You embody everything wrong with a liberals thinking! First the mental midgets that represent you liberal extremists completely understand the Muslim religion because most of them are Muslim. If you know anything about their culture or their religion you would know that it is expected that a Muslim lie or deceive a non believer. This is actually highly praised. Iran and their leadership have said many times they would blow Isreal off the face of the map! You can not negotiate with these animals. Obama knows this more then anyone. Obama is paving the way for Iran to keep enriching Uranium. Even if they were to abide by the treaty which they never would in 10 years their is no more restriction on them? The only way Muslims understand you is through power. It is their culture. You are what is wrong with this country. You and your party are why ISIS is killing Christians and taking over the whole middle east. It was your party who pulled out of Iraq, gave back murderers and toppled friendly dictators like Musharof and Kadafi! No Christians were being killed under those dictators! Obama is pro Muslim brotherhood! Obama and his administration are arming ISIS to fight Asad in Syria. You are so uneducated I don't even know where to start other then to say you and the liberals are destroying this country and you are to stupid to even see it!

Answer 54

He is telling the US congress and the American people how thing really are in the middle east.

Answer 55

We dont need to make a deal with them they have never kept a deal anyone. Its stupid to make an agreement with a liar who has sworn to destroy you. Obama is just leaving us open to attack. God gave the government the sword we need to use it on Iran, N Korea, and whoever else threatens us. Make me the president i will show you how to handle this.

Answer 56

Because it was not cleared by the White House for him to speak in front of Congress.

Answer 57

Whats sad is you gave someone the best answer who has No Clue to the real truth and facts...so in reality all you wanted ( which is probably yourself with two accounts ) was to get a best answer points and or someone who agree's with your own ignorance .

Answer 58

the big deal is that America is Israel's greatest ally, so it's a bit arrogant to snub America's president by speaking to congress without touching base with the president about it.

Answer 59

Netanyahu is not anti American and whoever said that is an idiot. The problem is Obama is anti American. He does not care or love this country as Giuliani said about him.

Answer 60

If it was'nt for the Prime Minister of Israel, obama's gang of Palestinians Nomads only for h.a.m.a.s. would be coming here in the hundreds of thousands and given free houses, Free $ millions & Free food to murder all who were'nt muslim born according to obama's first law registered 2/4.09. Now he's trying to stop a world war leaving America without Nuclear capability since obama had the nukes removed in the last 5 years. If Iran gets nukes then Israel will have to commit her arsenal to wipe out Iran, then Russia will have to attack since their backing Iran. Mike

Answer 61

His unstated solution seems to be to have the US attack and occupy Iran. Then physically destroy the nuke facilities. Would make Iraq look like a walk in the park.

Answer 62

To all you morons.....this was perhaps the most important speech in your lifetime. Go back to your video games and hope your parents support you the rest of your life.

Answer 63

I hate to inform you all but he did the right thing. The day is coming very soon when someone will launch a nuke at Isreal and Jesus will return in the air to stop Isreal from being destroyed. "It is his homeland" So please invite Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and Savior now before it is too late !!! Otherwise the devil gets your eternal soul.

Answer 64

The big deal is that the timing of this speech is very poor...... when serious diplomatic relations are underway between the US and Iran. It seriously undermines this effort; and yes, it can influence foreign policy.

Answer 65

He warned Obama about taking side with Iran because of the nuclear weapons.

Answer 66

I have some arguments to make against Hobbit's answer (chosen for best answer) but they would not fit in the comments section. Just so you know, this is a long reply to Hobbit's answer and any other similar ones.



I disagree with your answer for several reasons, but rather than make a terse comment saying that this answer is "idiotic", "you are stupid", or just giving an insult, I have made my own arguments against some of the points you brought up. Let's begin.



1. Anti-American? Israel and America have historically been close allies for many years until President Obama was elected. In Netanyahu's own words, Israel is "the only reliable ally America has in the Middle East". Look at how President Obama has completely disregarded Israel and Netanyahu in recent history. If anything, Barak Obama is anti-Israel.



2. Unpatriotic conservatives? You did not cite any reasons why conservatives are unpatriotic except that the support Israel. So it is unpatriotic to support a stable, democratic ally? By that logic, Americans were unpatriotic for coming to the aid of the Allies in WW2. And besides, using blanket statements is not a very good strategy. Sure, there are differences in any social group, but don't assign all-inclusive (and unreasonable) characteristics to a large group of people. There are many unpatriotic liberals out there.



3. Netanyahu has a "violent agenda"? Since when? Is a country not allowed to use force when surrounded by hostile Islamic countries who want to wipe it off the face of the earth? In America, we take having many allies and peaceful neighbors for granted. Israel does NOT have a violent agenda. Its enemies do. Is Israel killing people just for the sake of killing? Are they beheading people who don't agree with them? No. Israel has no more of a violent agenda than America.



4.Anti-muslim and racist attitudes? Israel (in general) does not have an anti-Muslim attitude. They have an anti-terrorist attitude. I know for a fact that there are many very conservative Muslims out there. I don't hate Muslims. But what Israel will not stand for is RADICAL TERRORISTS who kill their citizens. And racist? What race is that? Middle-Eastern? Uh, last I checked, Israel is in the Middle-East too. And if you were talking about Americans, once again, there you go making blanket statements again.



5. Criticizing trying to find peaceful solutions? That has been tried. Israel has helped Iran in the past, both economically and militarily. Israel has sold Iran arms. What did Iran do? Well, they currently do not recognize Israel as a state. They have sold arms to Hamas, a violent Jihad group focused on attacking Israel. There have been open anti-Israeli sentiments from the Iranian government, as Tom Turner mentioned in a comment above. The Iranian president stated that he wishes "regime occupying Jerusalem" to "vanish from the pages of time". Now, Dr. Gregory Stanton, the world's top expert on genocide, has stated that "Iran has taken 6 of the 8 steps to genocide" and that it must be contained to curb that instinct." Don't believe me? Look it up. If a peaceful solution was possible, then by all means, Israel and America should take it! However, the cold, hard facts stand: it has been tried in the past and has been met with hostility. I'm not saying things can never be reconciled. They have been in the past, albeit briefly. It's just that a peaceful solution is nowhere in the near future and Israel must prepare for the worst.



6. An active and deliberate betrayal of the interests of the American people? So tell me, is supporting a democratic ally not and interest of America? That is what you are essentially saying. Iran has been given plenty of chances in the past for "peaceful solutions" and has spat in Israel's face. Iran is openly hostile to Israel and Netanyahu is perfectly justified in doing his best to protect his country, his own citizens. Trust me, if America was in Israel's situation, we would not be having this discussion. We would be doing our best to protect our citizens' lives by any means possible and that is what Israel should be able to do.



I hope all my arguments made sense. We shouldn't be anti-terrorist because of their skin color or religion. There are radical Muslims, radical Christians, radical you-name-it. A religion isn't the problem; terrorism is. All Netanyahu is trying to do is contain this violent, openly hostile country. America should be supporting its strong ally, not a nation who wants to destroy this ally.



Thank you for your time. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Answer 67

We need to hear both sides of the fence. We heard Netanyhu.(great talk) Now let's hear from Iran. I'll listen but I could never trust.

Answer 68

Because it sets a bad precedent. I will let someone who worked for Jack Kemp, John McCain and President Reagan explain.



"From now on, whenever the opposition party happens to control Congress — a common enough occurrence — it may call in a foreign leader to speak to a joint meeting of Congress against a president and his policies. Think of how this might have played out in the past. A Democratic-controlled Congress in the 1980s might, for instance, have called the Nobel Prize-winning Costa Rican President Oscar Arias to denounce President Ronald Reagan’s policies in Central America. A Democratic-controlled Congress in 2003 might have called French President Jacques Chirac to oppose President George W. Bush’s impending war in Iraq.



Does that sound implausible? Yes, it was implausible — until now." Democrats never did anything like this to undermine a Republican President.

Answer 69

First off, John Boehner ILLEGALLY invited him, which is treason against the president. Second of all Netanyahu isn't doing a lot to promote peace in the region. True, Palestinian terrorists have done quite much over the years, but building Jewish homes in Palestinian territory will bring resentment.

Answer 70

Netanyahu stands tall for the country and people he loves. He recognizes the threats. He speaks his mind.

Answer 71

Isreal controls the media. It's how they market stuff. The outrage is probably generated.

Answer 72

Because Natanyahu is a dictator! As long as dictators are

being invited to speak by the Republicans, they should

also invite Putin to speak.

Answer 73

It wouldn't be a big deal if he hadn't bypassed the president, and it wouldn't be a big deal if this wasn't a purely partisan move. But he did and it is. This is just a way for Boehner to give Obama the finger.

Answer 74

No big deal, maybe the Chief of ISIS can call together the next Congressional get together, no disrespect to the G.O.P. ...0305/2015

Answer 75

It's a big deal.

Answer 76

Have you read the bible? The people of Israel are God's chosen people and that is why any threat against Israel is pretty much offensive to God. That is why the United States has always supported Israel. Because they fear God.

Answer 77

What possible difference could it make if congress calls in 100 heads of state to speak to congress they need someone to tell them what the hell is going on.

Answer 78

Not a big deal bud

Answer 79

ANYONE who trusts the Iranians to adhere to any agreement should be sent there to live for a few years.

Answer 80

He realise US doesnt care about Israel anymore and apartheid regime wants peace with Iran.

Answer 81

Big deal is because it's against the constitution. "There is one key job, however, that the founding fathers assigned to the president alone. The Constitution says that the president “shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers” from foreign governments." It's illegal and it amounts to treason. Boehner should be blindfolded and shot.

Answer 82

It is not cleared by whitehouse for Netanyahu.

Answer 83

Obama says the state department should OK any foreign speakers to Congress. Congress disagrees. Obama Admin says this will hurt negotiations with Iran.

Answer 84

Answer 92

He is not Anti American. He is anti Obama, because Obama has treated him like a dog in favor of cuddling up to his Muslim buddies.

Answer 93

It's better than listening to a Liar!!!

Answer 94

I AGREE WITH YOU............ He is up for elections and trying to make a big deal of nothing. We the people of the USA will handle Iran in our own way.

Answer 95

Bibi is right and anyone that expects Iran to live up to their agreements is a fool. This reminds me of that agreement we got with China, we reduce our economic growth by 25% to curb "global warming" and the Chinese will consider reductions in 15 years. We get nothing out of it.

Answer 96

Answer 100

Answer 101

some people wouldn't see the truth if it hit them over the head I think his point was pretty clear...

Answer 102

Obama and Iran threatens to be like Neville Chamberlain and Germany in 1938, but worse since nuclear weapons are involved. Netanyahu is attempting to prevent such a disaster from repeating by bringing it to the attention of the American people. He may not have a solution acceptable to America but the proposed agreement with Iran is definitely the wrong one.

Answer 103

I personally have little opinion on either Binyamin or his oration whatsoever, Shirin.

Answer 104

A clear statement that Israel will kick Iran*s *** again if they get a nuke.

Answer 105

It wouldn't normally be a big deal. But Obama, who hates Jews/Israel, is angry because he doesn't want a real leader, and a true friend of America, to speak in America.
