There is a lot of shocked reaction to Speaker John Boehner inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to give a speech to Congress and Netanyu accepting without either of them notifying the White house in advance. Diplomatic niceties were not observed. I think we need to put this in perspective.
Our Dear
Leader’s deal at all costs behavior with the Iranians is paving the way for a
general war in the Middle East, a nuclear war. Only the US Air Force has the
capability to deliver a non-nuclear 30,000 pound bunker buster bomb capable of
knocking out Iran's centrifuges in their deep underground bunkers. The Smartest
President Ever is not going to order that attack even if the Iranians test
several nuclear devices. The only Israeli weapons that have a chance at doing
the job are nuclear weapons. The absolutely brilliant diplomacy of Barry the
Magnificent is leaving Netanyahu with a preemptive nuclear strike as the only
way to stop Iran from getting the bomb.
It seems to
me that the existence of Israel is threatened. Iranian leaders have called Israel a "one bomb country." It also seems to me that the
White House has decided that a good relationship Israel is surplus to
requirements and that our relationship with Iran is more important. The White
House believes that an agreement with Iran which will prevent Iran from getting
a nuclear weapon is very close. I believe that they have spent too much time in
Colorado weed parlors, and that the administration's legacy in this area is
going to be widespread nuclear proliferation and a general, nuclear, war in the
Middle East. At that point, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu giving a speech to Congress without Obama's permission is a nice alternative
to an Israeli preemptive nuclear strike on Iran. It seems to me that diplomatic
protocol is a lot less important than preventing a nuclear war in the Middle
East.
Also, let’s get
real. The Chicago Machine Prodigy treats Congress like the Chicago City Council
and Prime Minister Netanyahu like the head of the Republican Party in Cook
County. Our Dear Leader is arrogant and rude early and often. Nobody should be shocked when his behavior is returned in kind.
If our Dear
Leader punishes Israel for this breach of protocol, it will cost Democrats votes.
People have started to figure out that the jump from anti-Zionism to anti-Semitism
is very short. Voters are also noticing that the friends of Israel tend to be
those right wing Republicans that liberal voters have been taught to hate,
while Israel's enemies tend to be liberals with a narrative of Palestinian
entitlement. The solidity of the liberal Jewish vote is cracking. My Jewish
friends are asking me to explain my politics where before they just tried to
avoid talking about politics. They have noticed who Israel's friends are. It's
early yet, but the Chicago Machine Prodigy is alienating a lot of his former
supporters with his antagonism against Israel.
