Anyone else wondering why Bibi the war criminal would show up on American

networks and cable on Easter Sunday?

Maybe Christians can explain to this atheist - I don't know but I always heard that Easter was the most sacred of Christians holidays.

Looks that way to me, but it's also unbelievable disrespect.

Goes on a Sunday talk show. Just a thought. Most won't watch as they are in church even the twice a year crowd.

Bibi, on the other hand, appears desperate to get us in another war.

Chinese restaurant won't work well during Passover for the Ashkenazi Prime Minister -- hard to think what he could eat given that both rice and soy are Kidniot - which makes them not kosher for Passover for Ashkenazi (European) Jews. (Kidniot are things forbidden even though they are not forbidden in the Torah.)

For years, especially when my kids were vegetarian (my husband and I also ate fish) - it was THOSE additions that made cooking a challenge - we opted to be Sephardic for several years.

I happen to be on a modified Atkins diet right now…so I haven't eaten any matzoh except for a ceremonial bite or two, but I'm staring at our Kosher bakery macaroons and strawberry roll and am DYING but..I have to lose some weight so I'm giving up goodies for the sake of my longevity. Boo hoo city!

Bibi was probably only speaking to a very tiny segment of the country.

As for Christians, hopefully they will listen to Pope Francis rather than Bibi when it comes to trying to start another murderous war.

Seriously, maybe it's because the network and cable Sunday news programs cover the big news events of the week and the announcement of the Iran deal framework was as big a story as there was and Netanyahu is President of a major player in the middle east and he's been outspoken in his criticism of the negotiations with Iran.

If that's not reason enough, I don't know what is.

Who should have been on the Easter Sunday talkers…Peter Cottontail?

He's JEWISH, for openers.

Seriously: your dispatches might have more of their intended effect if you'd educate yourself.

Enlighten us......

I believe he is on the circuit to undermine the Iran Nuke Agreement brokered this week by Secretary Kerry and President Obama. Warmonger wants to evoke fear.

reelection in Israel. So they think they are still, somehow, players in the Iran agreement. The danger is, of course, that Boehner and his buddies will egg on an already willing Bibi to go ahead and bomb Iran. At which point they may be assuming Obama will have no choice but to step in and save Bibi. Bibi and Boehner really really want to bomb Iran, and they are not giving up any time soon. And Bibi is counting on the US to do the dirty work while he struts and puffs. It looks to me like he has been given assurances by the GOP.
