I will admit that this whole Netanyahu being invited by John
Boehner and then speaking before our Congress has been really irritating me…building
up progressively!
John Boehner is a political ass. The whole political scene
in Washington has me pissed and totally disillusioned. These people that are
supposed to represent us are not behaving like responsible adults or even as
civil adults; they are rude and stupid and only care about their own
re-election and their party’s re-election to power.
There are no longer “statesmen” or “stateswomen” (well maybe
a few) that actually care about their constituents and their country; it’s all
about them and their agenda.
The fact that John Boehner invited Netanyahu to speak before
Congress is a direct insult to our president who normally has done the
inviting. Boehner insults not only the president and the Democrats but he
insults us all as Americans by behaving like a total ass and spitting on
protocol and the separation of powers.
The way Congress responded to Netanyahu before and during
his speech was extremely troubling. There is no question that Americans support
Israel and have from the beginning. Israel gets billions in aid, material and
technology.
Israel is a democracy (some say theocracy) and is part of
the Judeo-Christian culture and we like that. Israel is also in the Middle East
where everybody else is an Arab, a Muslim or both. Israel has also stood its
ground militarily against a number of attacks by its neighbors who have vowed
to eliminate Israel from the earth.
That said, by behaving the way we did with Netanyahu, we
have also shown the world that a small minority in our country but with lots of
money, can influence our government to the level it has now and throughout our
history. In essence, the Israeli / Jewish lobby is the tail that wags the dog
and it is painful and embarrassing to watch.
As far as this Iran/atomic bomb issue…I am puzzled by our
determination to prohibit Iran from developing an atomic bomb. Yes, Iran has
shown in the recent past that it is unstable politically because it is a
theocracy based on religious bullshit that in its extreme moments has vowed to
wipe out Israel (atomically) off the face of the earth; OK so it would be good
for everyone, especially Israel if they were not allowed to develop an atomic
bomb.
BUT we allowed crazy-ass North Korea to develop one and crazy-ass
Pakistan to develop one. Hey, Israel has one and so Muslims think that if they
don’t get one, the Jews will eliminate them from the earth.
How do we legally have the right to tell Iran what it can
develop when we sure did not see a right to prevent all the rest of the nutty
countries from getting one?
We are negotiating with Iran for the sake of Israel. But
Netanyahu does not want us to negotiate with Iran, he wants us to invade Iran
and occupy it so we can keep Israel safe from them…is he fucking kidding me?
Netanyahu is telling our government and our president what
we need or MUST do because he knows best even though he has been an alarmist
and totally wrong about his predictions on many occasions.
The fact that he was allowed to come in and “lecture” our
congress on what it must do just pisses me off to no end.
I will admit that we will protect Israel from destruction
always but we should not have to kiss their ass and obey them like we were
vassals of Israel.
I have Jewish friends and acquaintances but I would think
that as Americans, they would have to feel Netanyahu went too far; I hope he
loses the election in Israel in two weeks as a sign that he fucked up and
pushed us way too far.
