National Security Adviser Susan Rice is the latest administration official to line up to slam Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is planning to visit next week to give a speech to Congress calling for an end to diplomacy with Iran.
Rice insisted the Netanyahu speech was “destructive of the fabric of the relationship” between Israel and the United States, and that Netanyahu was trying to make the long-standing ties a partisan issue.
Netanyahu is insisting he’s avoiding political affiliations on his visit, though he accepted the invite of the Republican House leader, over objections from a Democrat president, and has refused a sideline meeting with Congressional Democrats.
Netanyahu has been insinuating himself in the US political process for awhile now, and was seen as heavily backing Mitt Romney during the 2012 election. His opposition to Iran diplomacy has been an issue that has fueled tensions with the Obama Administration, but his political involvement has clearly added to that as well.
The political clashes are also spilling over into Israel, with elections looming in mid-March. Issac Herzog, the top candidate to unseat Netanyahu in the vote, has refused a visit to AIPAC around the same time, trying to further distinguish himself from Netanyahu by not making a high profile US visit on the eve of the vote.
This could be the first reasonable thing Rice has done in her entire life.
Go Buji!!!!
This is the first time that Susan Rice has done the right thing — although for the wrong reason. It is long since past time for our US Government to cease its mindless support of everything Israel does; and the sooner the "special relationship" with Israel ends, the better for our nation. But apart from the fact that Netanyahu happens to be the head of the government of Israel, it is wrong for our Government to give any foreign head of state an official platform — before a joint session of Congress — to speak against a foreign policy decision taken by our President.
Well said my brother but too little too late.
Islamist Iran ambitions are defined in 2 stages:
Stage 1:
Reestablishing the ancient Persian Empire over the Fertile Crescent by using the SHIA in all the countries (including the territories of Islamist Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and some of the Gulf states)
Islamist Iran proxy forces and Islamist Iran revolutionary guard are taking part in
all the conflicts in those areas.
(NAZI stage 1 was to control all the territories with German speaking people)
Stage 2: Imposing worldwide the Shia version of Islamism:
(NAZI stage 2 was to try to impose their ideology worldwide by force)
**:"This century will witness the establishment of a universal holy government and the downfall of all others"**
Constitution of Islamist Republic of Iran
*****:""the Islamic Republic’s ideals include destroying America"".
Said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supreme leader
*********USA foreign affairs report about Islamist Iran:
Few samples- many more in the testimony

—-* Documents seized from Islamist Iran unveiled the strategy in South and North
America- saying that Muslim population will be used to penetrate Islamsit ideology in the Americas.

Wikileaks disclosed that the Arab leaders requested USA to stop Islamist Iran, the traditional regional historical superpower Arabs geopolitical enemy by any means.
Obama claimed that stopping Islamist Iran form getting NUK is related to the Arab–Israel conflict.
Hey Ariely, as one Jew to another, do you really believe your own nonsense?
Stay tuned
As 90% of political donations come from the richest of the rich, as this is systemic from 1776, what were seeing is either paid actors generating confusion to hide our make believe government — or a massive rupture between the multinational power combines that rule our Empire.
NuttyYahoo is an arrogant, psychopathic loose cannon who has become a serious liability and an annoyance to Uncle Sam. The recent leak of Israeli assessment of Iran's nuclear program was just a warning shot over NuttyYahoo's bow. Uncle Sam has damaging files on everybody (remember FBI Director Hoover?) If he doesn't shut his yap, the next shot will sink him.
The israelis were supposed to make a deal with the Palestinians after we invaded Iraq and these people especially Netanyahu have the audacity to still want more.
They need to stop. We’re not going to war with Iran you only make yourself sound foolish.
Don't you people understand they own America and its government.
I hope there will be protesters before the b.s. speech starts. The only positive thing I can say bout Susan Rice is she's against the speech. That's the only thing that distinguishes her from Condi Rice.
