Obama Criticized Bibi for Not Offering Anything New – Bibi’s Rebuttal

From Peggy…

Obama criticized Bibi for not offering anything new.

‘Obama said Netanyahu didn’t offer any “viable alternative” and that “as far as I can tell, there was nothing new” in the Tuesday speech.’

Bibi responded.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday he offered a “practical alternative” to the deal being negotiated over Iran’s nuclear program, after President Barack Obama criticized his address to Congress as containing “nothing new.”

“In my speech before the Congress, I presented a practical alternative,” Netanyahu said upon landing at Israel’s Ben-Gurion Airport. He said his alternative would impose tougher restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program and delay how quickly the Islamic Republic could assemble a nuclear weapon.

Netanyahu reiterated that he had pushed the six powers currently negotiating with Iran — Britain, China, France, Russia, Germany and the United States — to link easing sanctions to Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism, not just to the nuclear issue.

“I also called on the P5+1 to insist on a deal that would link the lifting of those restrictions to Iran’s ceasing its sponsorship of terrorism around the world, its aggression against its neighbors and its calls for Israel’s destruction,” Netanyahu said.

The prime minister’s office issued a string of tweets quoting Netanyahu, concluding with the greeting, “Happy Purim,” the holiday based on the experiences recounted in the Book of Esther where the Jewish people were saved from a genocidal Persian official. Netanyahu in his Tuesday address compared the biblical narrative to the existential threat Iran poses to Israel today.

After Netanyahu’s speech, Obama told reporters that “on the core issue, which is how do we prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which would make it far more dangerous and would give it scope for even greater action in the region, the prime minister didn’t offer any viable alternatives.”

Netanyahu told Congress Tuesday, “Now we’re being told that the only alternative to this bad deal is war. That’s just not true.”

“The alternative to this bad deal is a much better deal,” the prime minister said.

    The Israeli regime is the only possessor of atomic bombs in the Middle East.

    “Mr. Netanyahu portrays himself as the champion of human rights, which is really hilarious, and of course no mention of the international community’s desire for Israel to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty that was echoed by the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, just yesterday.”

    When Israel surrounds Palestine and can not even solve that problem who in the heck thinks he knows anything about Peace? He does not want peace. He wants the greater Israel Project to keep the middle east unstable and take more territory. But the truth remains he can not even solve the palatine problem.

    Score Netan-Yahoo -10

    The world +10

    I am Jewish, I was born in Israel. I think I know a bit about the politics.

      Georgia, Israel does not appear on the NATO or UN list of nations with nuclear weapons. Nor has Israel ever tested a nuclear weapon. Nor have they claimed to have a nuclear weapon. Yes, there is a long standing rumor that Israel has nuclear weapons, but that’s all. This is far from a fact.

      You stated as fact that Israel has nuclear weapons but offered no proof. So, if its a rumor you are repeating then you must say so.

      Further, your comment stated as [fact] what are clearly your opinions about Prime Minister Netanyahu. You said, “He wants the greater Israel Project to keep the middle east unstable and take more territory. But the truth remains he can not even solve the palatine problem.”

      We are here for the exchange of honest, intelligent, cogent and relevant thought, please try to be more honest and relevant in your comments or try another blog.

    Everybody knows that my friend. They smuggled the stuff in over for years and have a contaminated site.

    History with Israel is complicated and the US side is documented. Everybody knows they have them because hey got some of the stuff from us! They started in 1958. Key words Apollo Industries, NUMEC, and Zalman Shipiro.

    Israel refuses to declare them to the UN and you will notice they will not sign the nuke treaty at the UN

    Secretary of Defense of the United States, Dr. Robert Gates stated in Congress That Israel has nuclear weapons. several leaks over the years.

    Declassified documents are the best source of information today. Also good to remind ourselves of war history. Just facts and realize we have always been lied to.

    In the end American Taxpayers always get the bill no matter the subject. The NUMEC site is contaminated now, really no doubt left.

      Let me ask you this: If someone is going to have a nuke, who would you rather have it… Israel or Iran? Who in the Middle East besides Israel would you want to have nuclear weapons? I can’t think of anyone I would trust except Israel. And here you are, claiming to be Jewish and you are all about going against our only friend and the only true democracy in the Middle East, I don’t get you?
