Netanyahu’s speech on Holocaust remembrance day was mostly about Iran, saying it is “just like the Nazis” in seeking to control the world and “exterminate 6 million Jews.” And we let this man anywhere near our foreign policy?
Netanyahu put out Islamophobic ideas on US TV yesterday, calling Iran a “militant Islamic power bent on world domination” and given to “congenital cheating.” Does Iran get the ability to rebut these claims?
The opposition to Obama’s Iran deal is flailing. The neoconservatives say that he is Neville Chamberlain trusting the Nazis, and a bad golfer. But Obama has the center and the left, Trita Parsi says. Though maybe not the New York Times.
With one day left before the deadline for an agreement on the contours of an Iranian nuclear deal, negotiations look set to go “down to the wire”, in the White House’s phrase – or possibly past it. The possible deal’s most prominent critic is staying on the offensive. “The emerging agreement in Lausanne sends a message that there is no price to pay for aggression – on the contrary, Iran gets a prize for its aggression,” Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Monday.
With less than a week before the March 31 deadline to finalize the outlines of a nuclear deal, the relative positions of Iran and the Western powers are coming into focus. Israel sees its regional nuclear monopoly hanging in the balance and has sent a national security delegation to Paris to influence the negotiations. Meanwhile, the nascent U.S.-Israel breach continues to widen, as anonymous White House sources accuse Benjamin Netanyahu of using information obtained through espionage to lobby Congress against a deal.
Former Iranian hostage Ali Shakeri says, “The United States and Iran have an opportunity to work together to create peace and stability in the Middle East. We cannot afford to let this opportunity to enhance the prospect of peace to pass.”
Mr. Netanyahu’s speech on March 3, 2015 will be marked as the day when an Israeli Prime Minister has pushed the chutzpah so far as to embarrass the President of the United States in front of the whole world. But why is he so adamant that Iran is “the” absolute existential threat to the Jewish people in the first place? Anne-Marie Codur says all the laws of geopolitics and all the facts indicate that Netanyahu is simply lying.
Frank Luntz’s latest propaganda is that Americans side with Netanyahu over Obama on Iran. He’s working alongside AIPAC to destroy the negotiations
Anyone say regime change? Israel is losing its friends round the world, Financial Times and Americans for Peace Now agree, because of Netanyahu’s cynical settlement policy
