Hey, Bibi! I don't care what you think. Our diplomacy in the Middle East is ours to conduct, not yours to dictate.

I am sick and tired of having the Israeli tail wag the American dog.

Powerful speech, powerful leader, wished we had a strong leader like that. I'll be so happy once this goon is out of office, we can finally reestablish our unbreakable ties with the ONLY democracy in the Middle East. Kudos to Bibi!

Glad to see America is finally backing away from the brutal apartheid state.

That said, if the U.S. opened its borders to all Israelis and gave them a huge swath of desert for them to make bloom, I would be all for it.

Netanyahu argued that once they are lifted, Iran would be only “weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs.”

He has been threatening that Iran is one year, one month or sometime next week away from having the bomb that he is starting to look like he has a mental problem. I'm sure that Iran will take into account Israel's alleged 350 weapons before committing nuclear suicide.

Netanyahu, speaking at U.N., blasts Iran deal

Heh- the deal which obama claims will stop the spread of nuclear weapons in the region. The deal with those dangerous gaps- like giving Iran 24 days to delay any set of inspections. The deal telling Iran to get rid of 98% of it's uranium stockpiles. . . . And if they cheat, santions will snap back?

Heh- not if the russians and chinese also agree.

The iranians got the UN security council in their pocket. Meanwhile they still chant, "Death to America, Death to Isreal".

“Do any of you really believe that a theocratic Iran with sharper claws and sharper fangs will be more likely to change its stripes?” he asked. “Keep Iran’s feet to the fire.”

Bibi has every right to hoot and holler. Iran is truly the leading state sponsor of terrorism against Isreal. Alarming.

No, he's just putting Iran on notice that if Israel even feels the slightest tingle that Iran is attempting to destroy Israel, life as we know it will cease to exist for Iran. That country will be vaporized from the planet and that's not a threat, that's a promise. As far as Intel is concerned it's not always perfect, it's very difficult to get into Iran and to get eyes on the people that will do anything to destroy the Jewish state.

I'm sure that Iran will take into account Israel's alleged 350 weapons before committing nuclear suicide.

I don't buy that for a second! If that were remotely true then the jihadists hijackers on 9/11 should have known what would happen if they came onto US soil, kill thousands of people, 4 planes, but apparently they didn't or didn't care. History repeats itself and something tells me, the Mullahs will just take their chances, bad move for them and the millions of innocent Iranians that will suffer because of the Mullahs hatred of Israel.

Nobody really cares what Bibi says. He's made such extremist remarks and shown such racism and religious bigotry that you cannot possibly take him seriously except if you're a Palestinian on the receiving end of his slaughter. I'm glad the current WH has had the courage to finally tell this man, to an extent, how it is, despite the treason by certain Senators working against their own nation to scuttle the deal with Iran. Now the US just needs to cut Israel off once and for all if it continues to accept their money and arms but spit on them in return. So how well they fair while continuing to bite the hand that feeds them.

Good, neither does he, which makes his job a lot easier when he bombs Iran to Kingdom come, in the event they decide to go suicidal.

As he said, for over 3000 years, the Jews were persecuted, hunted down, torturted, slaughtered and yet they survived. The Israelis are the very last people to be anything remotely racist. So tell me in history where Jews were trying to kill another race for being something else besides Jewish on a horrific scale?

I'm glad the current WH has had the courage to finally tell this man, to an extent, how it is, despite the treason by certain Senators working against their own nation to scuttle the deal with Iran.

Thank God the current Tyrant will be out of office in a year then we can resume and normalize relations with a true ally and friend. We have suffered long enough under this nut and the Israelis as well.

Now the US just needs to cut Israel off once and for all if it continues to accept their money and arms but spit on them in return. So how well they fair while continuing to bite the hand that feeds them.

That, thankfully, will never, ever happen.

If he bombs Iran without Iran first bombing Israel, that turns Israel into 'Iran'.

How so? Please provide examples where Iran has gone and bombed another nation without any provocation.

If their Intel has pertinent information that Iran wants to destroy Israel (which they do, let's not kid ourselves) for the sake of hypothetical argument, they would have every right to thwart that threat by ANY means necessary in order to protect their nation and I don't think Israel gives a flying flounder if they are condemned for it, nor should they.

Can anyone say 'Iraq WMDs'?

No, that turns Israel into the US.

I would like to mention that Netanyahu's policy is territorial expansion while uprooting, stifling and exterminating non-Jewish indigenous populations. This is a fact which I know firsthand.

Here are a few details which cannot be denied: 1) Plenty of Jewish settlements of all sizes are now mushrooming all across the West Bank. For example, A Jewish settlement called "Itamar" has been placed near the relatively large Arab town of Nablus, and the size of "Itamar" is nearly the size of Nablus 2) A village called Um-El-Hiran in the Negev is about to be destroyed, in order to clear the land for a new Jewish village which will be called "Hiran". 3) The people of Gaza are not allowed to have a seaport or an airport; this is not a temporary condition but something which is meant to be eternal. 4) The Golan Heights have been captured (in 1967) and now its annexation is considered to be permanent; the indigenous population was banished (already in 1967, and now it is clear that they will never return). These are just a few details of an overall gruesome reality.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday condemned the Iran nuclear deal as empowering Tehran to spread unrest in the Mideast while leaving the country capable of making an atomic bomb.

Coming from the guy who told us Iran was seconds away from having the bomb. And that was three years ago.

Netanyahu is like most conservatives: a yahoo.

And? So because the intel of exactly as to regarding the timeframe of them having the bomb doesn't mean that Iran is NOT making a bomb. As Bibi said, if it was your country that was being threatened you'd act on that threat as well and definitely be nervous about it. I don't blame him, he should be skeptical. What gets me is how liberals hearing the Mullahs openly say and call for the destruction of the Jewish state, will NOT recognize the Jewish state. I'd say, Bibi can, should and has a moral obligation to defend his country at ANY cost. If the world wants to once again sit it out, Israel is within its right to take any and every necessary action to neutralize that threat.

Netanyahu is like most conservatives: a yahoo.

I don't see the Russians or any of our allies calling conservatives a spineless *itch..
