The leader of the only free country in the Middle East, Israel, addressed the US Congress today reinforcing the fact that Israel is dedicated to peace and that they are not foreign occupiers an argument born in anti-Semitism and used to justify the horrific, inexcusable, terrorist actions of the Palestinian people.
Since Obama addressed the nation concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict making the bold announcement that his policy, the policy of the United States, is that any peace proposal must start with the 1967 borders, a demand made by Yasser Arafat; this proposal has been utterly rejected and this is important to distinguish not just by Netanyahu, but by Israelis legislative body and her people. Netanyahu made it clear that what Obama had proposed was not acceptable and would not happen. In Obama fashion he came out a mere two days later recanting his ill-conceived remarks. Im sure it was a learning experience for him.
During his address Netanyahu made the poignant observation that Iran has only suspended its nuclear program once: during 2003 under fear of military action. He went on to say that during this time Libya gave up nuclear ambitions as well. This was a subtle endorsement of Obamas predecessor, and certainly a critique of current policy.
Netanyahu is the one out there demanding that Palestine reject HAMAS in order for peace to be achieved, our president has made it clear that he supports this backwards, terrorist organization.
I want to make one more point. I have seen some sickeningly, anti-Semitic posts recently speaking about the horrors of Zionism. People making insinuations that the Zionists have conspiracy-theory control over the US, and its that puppet-like control that Israel has used to secure foreign aid. This is usually accompanied by allegations that the friendly fire incident of the USS Liberty over 30 years ago was done intentionally, the Jews killing Americans. These people selectively ignore the facts, facts like the amount of foreign aid given to the Middle East dwarfs that given to Israel (It's All Your Money: Foreign Aid to Muslim/Arab nations - FoxNews.com).
These arguments are the same as David Duke and his ilk, and just like Duke they will make the same argument that they are against the Zionists not the Jews. Dont listen to their hate.
