“There is no doubt the prime minister knows how to speak well, but the truth is that the speech, as impressive as it was, did not prevent a nuclear Iran and won’t impact a deal that is being drafted – not on its content, nor on its timetable,” Herzog said. “The painful truth is that after all the applause, Netanyahu is alone and Israel is isolated, and the negotiations will continue without Israel’s input.”

Exactly! His speech was only why the present agreement is dangerous, nothing about what else should be done. And he doesn't even know everything that will be in the deal being saught. Netanyahu is a reactionary who relies on fear and panic to maintain control. Sounds familiar to our GOP, huh?

When are liberals going to stop lying? No matter how easy or simple it is to expose the lie liberals will still tell it and expect to be believed.

And his party's charter is at least as racist as Hamas's.
"Although Netanyahu plays the part, the details of his party platform need to be taken into account as a 'peace partner' to show the reality behind the circus. Likud Party Charter states:

a. “The Jordan river will be the permanent eastern border of the State of Israel.”


b. “Jerusalem is the eternal, united capital of the State of Israel and only of Israel. The government will flatly reject Palestinian proposals to divide Jerusalem”

c. “The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river.”

d. “The Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are the realization of Zionist values. Settlement of the land is a clear expression of the unassailable right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel and constitutes an important asset in the defense of the vital interests of the State of Israel. The Likud will continue to strengthen and develop these communities and will prevent their uprooting.”

"So while Netanyahu wants no pre-conditions from the Palestinians going into 'negotiations' his party charter and ideology says otherwise.

This thread is good for the lulz. Which party is the bigger bitch of Israel? Let's wait and find out.

Equal numbers of Jews and Arabs living between River and the sea? When are your people planning to share Jerusalem?

Not my worry. My concern is about the District of Columbia.

Why aren't we in the United States, focusing on the policy that benefits the United States? Seriously, guys, why?

I think we have to define "we" before answering your question.
Some believe the US national interest generates profits for about ten percent of Americans and increasing levels of misery for the remaining ninety percent. US support for Israel is a good place to start asking who profits and who pays.
