It might be even worse than that. Netanyahu’s only real hope at this point is a ‘rally round the flag’ occurance that gives him a temporary bump in the 9 days before the election. The speech before Congress didn’t work, but acting as an agent provocateur and provoking the crazies on the other side? I wouldn’t it put it past him.

That is how I took this. He’s trolling for crazies to bite. It is eight days to the poll. Now is just the timeframe we’d expect him to poke.

If what Huffpost is reporting about the Republican senators letter to Iran is true: Good Job, Bibi. The Repubs have essentially told Iran to build a nuclear bomb and by inference, take out Israel while you’re at it.
If the Israelis are smart they’ll vote in leadership that will sit down and build a security alliance with Iran as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the USA is moving into the future, because the Repubs have made themselves into toast.

So, the whole, disrespect our President and prove that he is not just thought of as a right wing hack but truly is, break protocol, damage Israel/America relationships, bloviate as a world leader and be an intentional war monger thingy was just so that he could remain right where he was? Netanyahu please.
Mission accomplished or not? Who knows, this egotistical hack will just do the famous right wing spin and claim that failing means winning somehow.
Lets be real about this, Netanyahu is basically just a pillager of other people’s land and a terrorizer of all that believe that. He is a world class bully and a no class liar.
He contributes nothing positive but maintains a death filled standoff that guarantees the threat of war and worse, no peace until he is but a bad memory.
America had its version of this foolishness, it was called the Hatfields and the McCoys. They killed each other until there was no one left to kill. Think about that.

Gee, it’s almost as if he spent years doing everything possible to create conditions that would make things worse and is now citing the fact that things are worse as a reason for not doing anything to make things better.
Which, come to think of it, is pretty much describes the majority of Israeli history since the Six Day War.
Only question left is whether he’s going to nurse the Israeli right’s undying convocation that the Palestinians are just bunch of nondescript generic Arabs who could just go assimilate into some other Arab country or countries if only they’d stop being so stubborn about it or whether he’s going to inch closer to some kind of full horrible evil irony circle to exterminationism like some of his coalition partners are doing.
Not that we in the U.S. have a gigantic pool of moral authority to draw on in that respect, of course . . .
Times have changed. Native Americans have full rights of citizenship. Most countries have become more civilized.
Israel now holds the worst human rights record of any developed nation save North Korea
Dear Mr. Megalomaniac,
It’s exceedingly dangerous when nobody knows or can define the enemy.
Indeed, it might explain why 'Murkans love Israel so much.
