All I need to know I learned from Netanyahu

I think every American should YouTube Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech, because you’ll learn a few things.

Number one, you’ll learn that Barack Obama, whether or not he hates America, does not hate Israel, “We appreciate all that President Obama has done for Israel.”

You’ll also learn that the bad blood between Israel and Iran goes back to the Book of Esther, and the story of an evil Persian Viceroy, “who plotted to destroy the Jewish people some 2,500 years ago.”

He thinks modern day Persia isn’t much different and it should not be rewarded simply for mothballing its nuclear program. It has to change its entire national personality. It has to stop spreading its influence into Iraq and Syria. And is has to, “Stop threatening to annihilate my country the one and only Jewish State.”

A statement that was followed by wild applause.

Hearing the applause, you’ll conclude that Congress enthusiastically agrees. Iran should not get anything in exchange for dropping its nuclear ambitions unless it also accepts Israel.

That would mean no nuclear deal, which would leave Iran free to build its bomb, and if that happens? Well, he didn’t say precisely, “But I can guarantee you this, the days when the Jewish people remained passive, those days are over.”

Which sounds like war.

“Even if Israel has to stand alone.”

Which sounds like boots on the ground.

“But I know that Israel does not stand alone. I know that America stands with Israel.”

Which also sounds like boots on the ground.
