At a weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that regarding a deal in the works between Iran and other UN Security Council members, Israel “will do everything to thwart a bad and dangerous deal that will cast a dark cloud on the future of the state of Israel and its security.” The staunch opposition to the deal by Netanyahu, and his intent to block it, comes amidst an uproar over his planned speech to the U.S. Congress about Iran that was arranged behind the White House’s back. On Friday, even the pro-Israel group the Anti-Defamation League was urging Netanyahu to cancel the speech.

1. Yes I'm afraid they will.

2. Israel hates peace

always has and always will.

9. What a bullshit assumption. I guess the U.S. voted for bush twice so they must like

his policies, and since you group all Israelis in your generalization, using that logic you would be included in the collective blame for Bush, even for the midterms

10. I didn't write all Israelis hate peace

but that Israel as a nation does hate peace. I would be pleased if they prove me wrong. I don't see that happening in my life time.

3. Netanyahu=Cheney.

Rise Israeli left! Rise up!! This man is ruining everything. We have to keep Iran bomb free by making deals and inspecting their facilities on demand. Help them with trade, inspect the hell out of them and keep them from closing up and being all secretive again. No more war!

4. I'm with you.

Thank you. What the hell is wrong with the world that these conservative forces are running things?

5. War is their only solution for every problem.

Bad economy? War! Bad poll numbers? War! Stomach ache? War! I've seen them use war as a solution for unemployment. The right just ain't right.

6. I wish we could get to the bottom of it.

I do know they live in fear. That's why they cling to their guns and religion ...

Fear and hypocrisy. They are such good Christians. What do they think Jesus would think of them today? All hail the NRA, Wall Street, NBC and the KKK.

(Sorry, I threw NBC in there because you know, Brian Williams.)

7. Don't forget Joe and Mika!!!

The worst ever! Only thing we can do with them is to outnumber them.
2016!

8. I think so.

Yes, I've decided I'm getting most of my Teevee news from now on from Jon Stewart, Jon Oliver and Larry Wilmore.

11. I hope that by "thwart" he does not mean "preemptive strike".

He looks to me like someone who really wants to push that nuke button.

12. The State Dept. should thwart his visit.

[Vic Tree]

13. Go ahead, Bibi

Wreck US-Israeli relations! It's about damn time that Americans started getting in the faces of Congress and making it clear that the Senate and House should be serving THIS country, not a fucking welfare case 6,000 miles away.

14. This is the problem when you get stuck with right wing governments
