1. 3 BILLION DOLLARS
That's how much we give Israel. The United States gives Israel roughly $3 billion dollars a year. That is a tremendous chunk of their defense budget and it doesn't even take into account the billion dollars in arms we shipped over in 2014. I'm saying this to say that the United States is not just invested in Israel's security in rhetoric alone. We have, as a country, put our money where our mouth is and continue to shell out cash to the tune of $8 million dollars a day. How does Netanyahu repay that steadfast dedication from America? He travels across the waters to spit in our leaders eye. For our $3 BILLION smackers, we should get more respect from the person cashing our checks.
2. PLAYING POLITICS WITH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
This whole speech is just political grand standing. Netanyahu is trying to score points with hardliners in his home country while wooing conservative supporters in the United States. Who could he possibly woo in the US? Try famous, right-wing, conservative, billionaire-crackpot, Sheldon Adelson. Yes, Adelson is a Netanyahu donor. Don't just take my word for it that this is one humongous stunt hoped to boost the prime minister going into the election. ABC, NBC, CBS did broadcast the speech; and there were restrictions imposed on the feed in Israel to keep Netanyahu from violating Israeli campaign laws. Bibi, you are playing political games and risking a strategic partnership that has been around for a long time.
3. BIBI HAS NO SOLUTIONS OR ALTERNATIVES
We've many more days of haggling and bartering if this Iranian deal is to work! We don't even know if it will work; but facing the possibility of the an all-out war with Iran; I choose to talk first. We can strike them at anytime, so why not try for peace. As the President said in his subsequent remarks, Netanyahu said NOTHING new; offered no new solutions. How can it be a 'Bad Deal' before we have a deal at all? Truth is, Bibi has no clue how the talks are shaping up and the only 'solution' he has implied so far is that we should just go back to planning an Iranian war.
