Watch Netanyahu's Address To Congress Live

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address congress in a widely expected speech, the key focus of which will be to diffuse the situation following the president's remarks from last week over what the appropriate borders for the Israeli state should and should not be. As Reuters reports: "When Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses Congress on Tuesday, many will be
watching to see whether he escalates a war of words with the White House
over how to make peace in the Middle East.
Netanyahu has a mostly sympathetic ear in
Congress, where few lawmakers in either party speak up for the
Palestinians, hewing to decades of close U.S.-Israeli ties. But
the Israeli prime minister has had a rocky relationship with President
Barack Obama, and last week said the president's vision of a Palestinian
state based on the borders of 1967 could leave Israel "indefensible."" Watch the full thing below.

From what I remember from my Poly Sci classes, one of the absolute necessities of a nation-state was definable borders. Other than the biblical pronouncement of Genesis (all land between the Nile and the Euphraties) Just exactly where are Israel's borders today? Are they in fact a nation-state? Or are no more than a raiding band like the mongols of old?     Milestones

    Not in the same category. The U.S. did up grade it territories as it seized them--not with due diligence I agree. Israel has never done so and will not until they get all the territory plus, plus spelled out in Genesis; which they conviently wrote, and you will note they made it known very, very early in Genesis who was on a first name basis with G--d and who was going to be the first in line at the dance.      Milestones

    The same applies to Righties that "get it" on economic issues, but insist that they are the "chosen" because the first half of the book says so.

    The Netanyahus of the world would have us believe that “they” are owed the Palestinian region because of a biblical promise made by god to those people whose heritage goes back the ancient Semitic language area. 

     

    Netanyahus heritage comes from Europe and most likely from the Kazarian kingdom, which has no blood connection to the biblical Israelite…..(true Semites). This is true for 90% of the "Jews" in Israel.   He uses “anti-semite” like an umbrella……do a search for “It’s a trick, We always use it.”

     

    The Palestinians are true Semites, for obvious reasons. 

     

    The “gutless wonders” are our congress critters who fund the killing of Semites (the Palestinians) under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism.  Clear as mud I know.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A heckler briefly interrupted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress before U.S. Capitol police removed the protester from the chamber.

    As Netanyahu was addressing a joint meeting of Congress, a woman in the gallery stood and shouted, "no more occupation, end Israeli war crimes."

    Police immediately hustled her out of the gallery and Netanyahu continued speaking.

    Then you're gonna love this...

    "[...]Israelis love children and have lots of them because they are happy, optimistic and prosperous. Most of Israel's population increase comes from so-called "secular" Israelis, who have 2.6 children on average, more than any other people in the industrial world. The ultra-Orthodox have seven or eight, bringing total fertility to three children.

    Europeans, Turks and Iranians, by contrast, have very few children because they are grumpy, alienated and pessimistic. It's not so much the projection of the demographic future cranked out by the United Nations computers that counts, but rather the implicit vision of the future in the minds of today's prospective parents."

    They took us to war in Iraq…hundreds of thousands of innocent villagers slaughtered by the high tech weapons of a superpower acting on fraudulently prepared evidence delivered by a once-revered General Powell.

    It’s the War Party. The Hannities, Limbaughs, Drudges, Krauthammers…Fox News, The Associated Press and Reuters…all the transit lines for the Likud message in America…forever pushing AIPAC’s deliberate mistranslation of President Obama’s speech.

    How much more American sacrifice is required to eliminate Israel’s enemies all around the world?

    The President’s empty promises to support some Palestinian talking points were repositioned by these Zionists mouthpieces as a frightening attack on Israel. Obama’s commitments to Israel, which will be backed by the most Zionist-occupied American government ever, were ignored altogether by these paid propagandists. Consider this true appraisal from the Jewish site Haaretz: “Obama granted Netanyahu a major diplomatic victory”…accepting “his procedural and security demands.”  Said Haaretz: “Netanyahu could not have asked for more.”

    The truth, as the AIPAC worshipers well know, is that Obama, like most of the Congressional leaders, is in the tank for an aggressive Israel, keeping a status quo to allow expanding settlements, massive military and financial aid for Israel, and a continued emphasis on a “non-militarized” Palestine, regardless of the words the President uses.

    Apparently when George Mitchell saw what Obama had in mind for his upcoming AIPAC examination moment, he could stand the hypocrisy no longer; even this was too much for the veteran compromiser to swallow. He saw the need to bail while he still had a little credibility left.

    All this comes following Obama’s triple-play to prove to every doubter that he’s not a secret Muslim.  His All-American birth certificate pops up just before our gunslinger leader plugs the toughest Muslim who ever lived. And now the President has brought on his own dramatic version of his “Roots” saga, not with a return to Africa ala Alex Haley, but a return to Ireland, Mr. Obama’s beloved ancestral home, visiting the tiny village where his great, great, great grandfather was born.

    All this work to re-establish his credibility so he can pretend to be tough on Israel - and all the while the ruse is lost in the realities of Zionist Washington.

    Al Jazeera made the same observation after hearing Obama's speech to AIPAC. In my opinion, the two speeches by Obama and the one by Netanyahu increase the odds of a war with Israel and it's neighbors.

    Had to stop watching, the man spews forth lies, and half truths, and watching congress get up and clap every two seconds made me hurl. The nation of Israel is doomed. It's sad really. They won the war and all they have to do is give back a little land and it would be over, but their own paranoias are going to do what the PLO couldn't do during the 50's and 60's, and that is to destroy Israel as a nation.

    Really amazing irony, let's see, if Israel could have come into existence durin the 19th centrury, they could have just killed every man woman and child and then did like the Turks and say, "what? Who?" The desert was empty and I made it bloom, yadda yadda yadda.....

They are not even technically jewish. How can they be?  Jewish people died and were absorbed a long time ago. All of these people are converts to judaism and they use the Bible to give themselves a air of legitimacy but in secret they could care less about that Book. Stupid Christian zionist buy into the story and give these charlatans money. Its insane. The Christians help the very people who will in the end destroy them.

    You may not believe him, but the history of Israel and of Netanyahu is supportive of what he said, not what you said. Just because you disbelieve him doesn't mean he is what you want to think of him, or that he is inaccurate. It tells us about you, not him.

    Don't think that is the case.  Israel is a democracy which has been an ally to the US for years.  Yes we give them substantial foreign aid as we have to numerous other countries.  The Palestinians have had substantial aid from numerous Arab countries and continue to be exploited by them for sheer political purposes.  How about letting the refugees emigrate to Saudi Arabia, Libya, Tunisia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc.  Why aren't the Palestianian schools any better at turning out world class students?  How about start up businesses.  Why the constant internecine warfare between political groups?  Could it be that the need to have a scapegoat (Israel) is more important to many Arab nations than the need to really help the Palestinians?  As a Christian I know the difference between Judaism and Zionism.  There are certainly worse nations we could support... oh, wait we do that too.

    As for being a democracy, Israel, as both Ayn Rand and Netanyahu have said, is a socialist state. The original founders and supporters of Israel were socialist almost to a man.

    It is a parasitic state that grows fat on an endless stream of American taxpayers’ money in an endless stream of “aid,” both economic and military.

    In an article titled “Netanyahu's Striking Stance," Karby Legget wrote: "Israel's finance chief has taken a pickax to picketing, confronting the nation's legions of strikers in a bid to reverse decades of socialism - and win the top job."

    That was then: now Netanyahu’s back on track, with he and AIPAC’s billionaires demanding even higher taxes and "belt-tightening"  and bloodshed from Americans while Israelis expand into new territory.

    By "Arab nations" you must mean the despotic oligarchies and sheikhdoms that the US, Israel, and other European powers have installed and supported for decades in order to control the region's resources. Attempts to escape that control have been met with brutal countermeasures.

So many of our German Jews were hovering between two coasts; so many of them were riding the treacherous current between the Scylla of assimilation and the Charybdis of a nodding acquaintance with Jewish things. Thousands who seemed to be completely lost to Judaism were brought back to the fold by Hitler, and for that I am personally very grateful to him."—M.

    Precisely.  The pressure of “powerful groups” is what happened to Antiwar.com’s investigative reporter Justin Raimondo on the HuffPo web site. Excerpt from a recent column :

    “The smear campaign against me I don’t mind so much: it’s too absurd to be taken seriously, and, besides that, I never sought to become a ‘mainstream’ media ‘star.’ I have to say, however, when I was purged as a blogger from the Huffington Post, the reasons given to me by cult-follower Arianna Huffington were quite explicit: I’m too hard on Israel. A letter-writing campaign to get me off the site was apparently quite successful.

    “I can live without being one of Arianna’s unpaid blog-slaves: the point is that, in Arianna’s world, the arbiters of political correctness and good taste have divined that I’m a purveyor of ‘conspiracy theories,’ to use her phrase. That’s code for any opinion that holds our elites responsible for the present state of the world. If Arianna wanted to stay a member in good standing of that elite – she once boasted about having the President’s personal phone number ensconced in her legendary Blackberry – I had to go, and go I did.  --Justin Raimondo What We’re Up Against: The elites, the blacklist, and the “mainstream” media  05.18.11

It would take up too much time and space to debunk the all the inane comments in this and similar threads, but suffice it to say that if these yokels lived in a USA that was the size of Rhode Island and it was surrounded by enemies who occupied the other 48 contiguous states who demanded that this USA give up 1/2 it's land mass for peace, knowing all along that the these other 48 states have publicly vowed to annihilate this tiny USA as it is demanded by their charter and their religious beliefs, how much land would you jackasses be willing to give up? Read some history for G-d sakes! Read "From Time Immemorial" by Joan Peters, a rabidly anti-Israel journalist who decided to find out for herself how evil Israel was and to prove the poor Palistinians had an historical and legal right to all of Israel. She was shocked at the real history she dug up and her book debunks all the BS you illiterate Jew haters spew with FACTS and paperwork to back them up. I know FACTS are like heresy today. Tough shit.

As for the "Zionists" who run US foreign policy, you should read up a little on the US state dept's history of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish activities.

Yes, all of them were real "freedom fighters" who's main targets were military, not civilian. Will you address the issue of modern (Islamic)  terrorism that praises the targeted killing of innocent women and children as being an invention of Mohammed as chronicled in his "book"? I doubt it. Sure, Israel has accidentally killed civilians while attacking military targets (probably your next point). But, virtually ALL of the attacks of Islamic terrorists involve civilian targets. Have you ever heard of 9/11 or 7/7? They are just a drop in the bucket. Hope you're ready for the next wave to hit USA. Will you blame Israel for that, too?

    ain't gonna get you no respect or cred.  and yes, when israel can firebomb your house from 20,000 feet in the middle of the night, when they can abduct your children and torture them with no recourse, when you have to go through a checkpoint to take a shit, they ARE the oppressive goliath.

    we're all well versed with the history of israel, the balfour declaration, the secular zionist movement, and their financial backers. 

    try your luck on the yahoo! boards. you're not going to find sympathy with your spiteful drivel around there parts.

    What has the fact that Israel can firebomb a house from 20000ft have to do with oppression? You failed to mention what houses are being firebombed. Houses full of ammo, missiles and the like that are used to target civilians of Israel on a daily basis. If a group of people were constantly threatening and carrying out cross border attacks on your state, how fast would you be demanding that "something be done" about it? You are not taking into consideration the literally thousands of attacks perpetrated by cross border suicide bombers. How would you handle it? "Abduct your children and torture them..." huh? When has Israel ever done this? If you're so well versed on the history of Israel, why are you distorting it so? Israel is fighting Hamas and Hezzbollah, etc. Soon, America (the Great Satan) will be fighting them on her own soil. Let's see what you think about these poor oppressed noble souls then. Wake up and smell the hummis. The soon to be new leaders of the PA have vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and stated that America is next. Don't believe them?  You will.

    Tough crowd here.

    I guess many tears were shed when Yasser Arafat died.

    So why doesn't the US move its borders back to the original 13 colonies and give the rest back to the Indians?

    the U.S. didn't force israeli citizens to fund its racism and unlawful aggression.  besides, what kind of logic is that? two wrongs =?

    I would rather have Bibi than Obambi as president. The world would be a much safer place!

    Good speech. I watched all of it! I agree with him more now than I did before. It would have been far better for people here to stop typing and start listening! But that would require a little humility instead of hubris!
