Benjamin Netanyahu Tells AIPAC To Put Its Head In a Noose

Pushing American Jews To Take Unpopular Stand on Iran

By J.J. Goldberg
Published February 21, 2014, issue of February 28, 2014.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marked America’s Presidents Day February 17 by lecturing to a visiting group of American presidents in Jerusalem.

No, Bibi didn’t have any actual occupants of the White House to wag his finger at this time. But he had the next best thing: the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. A 40-member delegation was in town for its annual mission to Israel.

The prime minister addressed three urgent issues. He offered a gloomy assessment of Israeli-Palestinian peace prospects, savaged the U.S.-led nuclear negotiations with Iran and described advocates of boycotting Israel as “classical anti-Semites in modern garb.”

“In the past anti-Semites boycotted Jewish businesses,” he said, “and today they call for the boycott of the Jewish state.”

He issued two appeals for action. One was a stern call to “fight back” against boycott advocates, “to delegitimize the delegitimizers.”

The other was to renew the recently suspended battle against White House policy on Iran. This could be dynamite.

You scour the press for articles about Israel and post them in an isolated fashion without any real comment on their 'merit'. Then you sit back and wait for approbation of condemnation by the masses. You do not post articles with any similar bent concerning any other region, territory, or country. You bait the pro-Israel fold and with great hope, await their responses which might call you an anti-Semite so you can alert on them or otherwise claim innocence. You are, you understand, only mildly annoying to those of us who are Zionists, and I'm certain you will respond to this post with possibly the most ridiculous thing you have ever said...except for everything else which you have ever said.

soon.

btw, I post on topics that are of interest to me. Do you go and initiate threads willy-nilly that you have no interest in?

I would never waste my time on such an endeavor and I doubt you do as well.

Anyway...thanks for the {{{chuckle}}}!

Perhaps it was an attempt to "delegitimize the delegitimizers."
