Who needs anti-Semites when we've got Bibi?

ho can disagree any longer that Israel is out to push America into war – and is putting on quite a show of it, too? The Obama administration is trying to neutralize Iran’s nuclear program diplomatically, and Bibi Netanyahu and the Israel lobby are the unquestioned, highest-possible-profile leaders of the campaign to stop them. Netanyahu is all over TV around the world, beating the drum against this “very, very bad deal” being put together in the Geneva talks, which resume Wednesday.
His American-accented emissary Naftali Bennett is walking the halls of Congress, right in the White House’s face, lobbying senators and congress members to crank up the sanctions on Iran. Meanwhile, AIPAC and the rest of the Israel lobby, of course, are blasting away with the same theme.
America, together with Russia, China, Britain, Germany
(but evidently not France), are trying to make peace with Iran, which is a pretty important, fairly historic mission – and Israel is out in front trying to torpedo it. After warning that the failure of the Geneva talks “could … become a pathway to war,” a recent New York Times editorial concluded:
f talks fail now, Mr. Netanyahu and the hard-line interest groups will own the failure, and the rest of us will pay the price.
Netanyahu’s idea of diplomacy with the Iranians is to present them with terms of surrender – to agree that they have no right to build anything connected with anything nuclear, while the U.S. and the other world powers, not to mention Israel, are free to build all the hydrogen bombs they want. If the Iranians don’t agree to such terms, if they instead go home and continue their nuclear program unfettered, it won’t be Netanyahu who caused the U.S. to bomb them – it’ll be the Iranians themselves.
