Netanyahu Tries to Whip Congress Into Hysteria Over Iran

by Richard Sudan, via RT.com: 

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli PM and a warmonger delivered his speech to the US Congress Tuesday arguing that the political and economic grip on Iran should be tightened and not loosened.

His speech came as talks continue between Tehran and Washington over the possibility of reducing Iran’s civil nuclear program in exchange for the economic sanctions which have crippled the Iranian economy being lifted.

Netanyahu has insisted that his on-going tirade against Iran is not political, and that his unfounded assertion that Iran poses a nuclear threat is based in reality, (similarly to when he suggested in 2002 that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction) and is nothing to do with the forthcoming elections in Israel.

Against the evidence which contradicts his claim that Iran is on the cusp of developing a nuclear bomb, and is intent on using it against Israel and its neighbors, Netanyahu took to the podium to repeat the tired old mantra that Iran is a grave threat to peace in the Middle East.

He urged congress not to “repeat the mistakes of the past” and referred to the Iranian government as a “murderous regime” in stark contrast of course to the democratic ideals of peace and fairness which Israel strives to uphold.

The reality is that it is Israel which threatens long-term peace in the region, with the diplomatic and military support of the US.Netanyahu’s speech to the US Congress absolutely highlighted the absurdity of the unwavering special relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv.
