Tens of thousands of Israelis are gathering at a Tel Aviv square under the banner "Israel wants change" and calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in March 17 national elections.
Saturday night's rally at Rabin Square is the highest profile demonstration yet in the run-up to the election. It is organized by a non-profit organization seeking to change Israel's priorities and refocus on health, education, housing and the country's cost of living. Though not officially endorsed by any political party, it drew mostly supporters of leftist and centrist parties.
The rally's keynote speaker is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who recently slammed Netanyahu's conduct and called him "the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel."
So to be clear, tens of thousands of Israelis are rejecting Benjamin Netanyahu as their leader, yet here in America our Republican lawmakers welcome him like a conquering hero and want to allow him to set out policy agenda with Iran?
Remind didn't the conservatives have a similar response recently to Vladimir Putin?
You know I think that if THESE are the types of leaders that get the Republican's panties wet, it really says something about what kind of leader they would elect if given the chance.
It curdles my being to think of the damage they could wreak f elected I live in Canada! Wake up America ... VOTE!
ReplyDeleteI recently read an article that stated if Netanyahu does get reelected, the White House will make it very clear that Ambassador Ron Dermer will be frozen out for his behaviour in this whole debacle. If Netanyahu expects to have any relationship with our President, Dermer will have to be replaced.
ReplyDeleteI hope the voters give old Bibi the boot. The man is a war monger as are the Republicans and Putin. Maybe that is why they get along so well.
ReplyDeleteIt's seriously doubtful that Putin gets along well with Netanyahu. Everybody including Putin hates Netanyahu, except for the Palin "Stand with Israel" bots.
DeleteI wonder how many of those tee shirts $carah sold, "I stand with Bibi"?? Maybe she will give them away with her next book? "How to look like an OVER THE HILL slut on other people's money" would make a good title.
DeleteHey gang, OT but check out Alexa.com for all the dope on Conservatives4 Palin. Example: most of their "followers" hits are from New Zealand. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteAnother moment when Palin is butt pad free. History,

Below is the Netanyahu testimony on the Iraq war, at CSPAN. Excerpt:
ReplyDelete“If you take out Saddam’s regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region… The task and the great opportunity and challenge is not merely to effect the ouster of the regime, but also to transform the region.”

“History has shown us time and again that what is right is not what is popular.”
ReplyDelete― Benjamin Netanyahu
Well, then, Netanyahu should be very much in favor of a treaty with Iran. Fox News and the GOP war hawks just want to "bomb - bomb - bomb" Iran. President Obama is going against their wishes by working for a more peaceful Middle East. While many of us support the President's efforts wholeheartedly, that's not what the mainstream media is spouting.

Another reason the Republicans love Bibi-he has cheated on all three of his wives! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu
ReplyDeleteSo, by GOP reasoning, all those Jewish protestors are anti-Semitic.
ReplyDeleteAny idea how much the US contributed to the Iron Dome Missile Shield and how much, if any, has been repaid? With friends like
