Netanyahu- “No More. The days when the Jewish people are passive in the face of threats to annihilate us are over”

CNN –

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu struck a conciliatory tone Monday, reaffirming the U.S.-Israeli relationship remains strong and, despite controversy surrounding his Tuesday address to Congress, said the two nations “will weather this current disagreement.”

“Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future — because we share the same dreams…because the values that unite us are much stronger than the differences that divide us,” he said in his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee annual policy conference, drawing enthusiastic applause from the crowd.

Polling has shown Americans disapprove of House Speaker John Boehner’s move to invite Netanyahu to speak to Congress without notifying the White House. That, and the timing of the speech so close to the Israeli election, has critics accusing Boehner and Netanyahu of politicizing the issue of Iranian nuclear talks, and a growing number of Democrats are planning to boycott what they see as an attack on the president.

But in his address to AIPAC, the prime minister refuted those critics, insisting that his Tuesday speech is “not intended to inject Israel into the American partisan debate,” and reaffirming his support for President Barack Obama.

“My speech is not intended to show any disrespect to Obama or the esteemed office that he holds—I have great respect for both,” he said.

Netanyahu instead framed his Tuesday address as part of a “moral obligation” to sound the alarm on Iran, which he warned has “vowed to annihilate Israel, and if develops nuclear weapons, it can achieve that goal.”

“As prime minister of Israel, I have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these threats while there is time to avert them,” he said.

  1. I’m really looking forward to the speech from PM Netanyahu. We will see a true statesman, diplomat, and warrior. A genuine patriot for his country. It’s hard not to be jealous.

  2. The Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey out Sunday found that 48% of registered voters disapprove of congressional Republicans’ move…

    Oh dear, 48% in a NBC poll? Polls are garbage and that 48% is damn close to that 47% Romney mentioned

  4. #1: 48% disapprove. The new way of not reporting that 52% APPROVE of something the MSM Libs are against. Saw the same about something else on CBS last month.

    #2: Where’s the #jewishlivesmatter from Miichelle O ?

  8. Wow, polling shows Americans disapprove of the Prime Minister addressing Congress. Americans believe in the flat earth theory too.Polling also shows that Americans disapprove of the current occupier of the White House. How about , ” More Americans approve of the Prime Minister addressing congress than disapprove ” ? Then, just for once CNN would be telling the unadulterated TRUTH. The only ones politicizing this visit are the insane progressives in this so-called administration who politicise EVERY issue in todays society except for ..OK, now take a guess, 2 words , It’s in even the lame street media every day at least once,come on now, something that’s never on ozero’s teleprompter, you got it…Praise Bush…no , no, it’s islamic terrorism ! The mullahs ( murderers ) of Iran call the US the Great Satan, threaten Israel with annihilation every stinking day and the inexperienced islam loving fool in the white house is insulting the only true democracy and our ally in the Middle East .There is one TV show on that truly shows the intelligence and the far thinking of the people who voted for this amazing crew of incompetent, self centered America hating gang of progressive liberals…. ” The Walking Dead “. If you voted for ozero and his happy band of fools and you feel insulted, so be it. There is no right in the Constitution that says I have to curb my right of freedom of speech so that you won’t have to lay down on the floor and scream all day. All you need to do is stagger around all day looking for brains. Oh yes, that’s already what you zombies do.

  11. It’s always heartening to hear a leader with intelligence, experience and resolve who speaks of freedom, liberty and patriotism.

    Haven’t heard any of that from our feckless, incompetent, anti-American leader.
