The End of Netanyahu

An epic failure on a Homeric scale…a humiliation he can never recover from

by Gordon Duff, via Veterans Today.com: 

High ranking Pentagon officials openly joked about shooting down Netanyahu’s plane.  The Israeli National News (Aruz Sheva) claimed Obama had ordered the US Navy to shoot down any Israeli war planes in range, an order they claim still stands.

Hundreds of “rising stars at the Pentagon,” deeply flawed incompetents rapidly promoted after Bush and Cheney’s mass firings both before and after 9/11, have been removed, most court martialed for fraud and sexual abuses.

Legal experts agree, Netanyahu’s visit to the United States, as a “foreign diplomat” without State Department approval was illegal.  Moreover, Rep. Boehner’s invitation as a private citizen, as he has no international standing and has no right to represent the US with foreign powers, misused public funds and violated US law.

This is nothing compared to the real backlash, inside America’s Jewish community and the majority Democratic Party.  Netanyahu will never be officially invited to the United States again, he can’t, he has burned down that bridge.  Anyone meeting with him or any American leader traveling to Israel while Netanyahu is still in office will not be unscathed by yesterday’s fiasco.

Left to defend Netanyahu is a rogues gallery of blogger and conspiracy sites, all that is left after the downfall of Fox News.

Kaptur

One of the senior members of the House of Representatives, elected now decade after decade is Toledo’s own Marcy Kaptur.  Marcy is a Catholic girl, liberal Democrat and lifelong supporter of Israel.  Marcy is quoted in the Toledo Blade as calling Netanyahu “Crass.”  This is what she said on the floor of the House of Representatives where she is among the most senior members:

“Mr. Speaker, the planned upcoming speech before Congress by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been mishandled from the start. It is being brought forward in a manner that is in total contravention of important diplomatic protocols  that exist to support America’s strategic interests, and frankly, Israel’s.

“This speech was agreed to unilaterally by the Republican speaker of this House. He provided no courtesy nor prior notification to the executive branch as is the standard course of protocol with foreign leaders. This is a fundamental violation of our national unity on foreign policy, and our Constitution assigns the office of president the right and responsibility to negotiate with foreign governments.

“To circumvent this imperative and to invite a sitting head of state with no notification to the executive branch does harm to our national interest and our standing throughout the world. At this time, while our executive branch is pursuing sensitive and promising nuclear negotiations with Iran, why would our speaker behave so cavalierly? Shouldn’t our nation’s executive and legislative branches be unified in matters of foreign policy with such grave ramifications beyond our shores?

“As this pending visit comes two weeks before the Israeli elections, it appears that our Congress will be used as a campaign backstop and backdrop for Israeli election politics. How unfortunate, how wantonly crass and insulting to this Congress, and the Constitution we are all sworn to uphold.”

What is more important is that there are two primary media responses to the speech that few if any have had the stomach to read and almost no one listened to:

1. Netanyahu’s 2002 claim that an attack to oust Saddam would have only positive consequences, something Netanyahu has been trying to bury, has come home to haunt him.
2. Universally, Netanyahu is exposed as a liar, debunked prior to the visit by his own intelligence agencies.
