Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be arrested and handed over to The Hague for trial.

Nuttyyahoo, like Trump, is desperately trying to avoid going on trial for felony fraud and corruption.

The bullyboy from Israel called the protesters outside Congress Iran's "useful idiots". Doesn't say much for his judgement as a) he's insulting Americans on American soil, the majority of which do not want him here and b) Iran's true useful idiots were all in the 1st trump administration.

May this be the last time this cringe-worthy MIT graduate and indicted war criminal ever touch American soil again. The ICC is obtaining arrest warrants for this Israeli war-monger who keeps his corruption trial in abeyance with his "Forever Wars" against Arabs and Persians.

Why would an opioid patient in Kentucky, a poor family on SNAP in Ohio, a farmer without enough water in Idaho, a gunshot victim in Texas, a fireman fighting wildfires in northern California, or an elderly person in the Bronx who can't afford his medical prescriptions, care about Iran?

This war monger from Israel should not be allowed into the USA and should be arrested at least to hold him for the UN to have trails to prove he is guilty of his crimes. Although, I would not believe a word coming from the Arab UN reps in Gaza as they have been known to lie and spread disinformation for Iran via Hamass.
That being said, I read up again last night about numerous horrible conflicts ongoing in Africa. These wars are being funded mainly China, Russia and Iran all of which seem to get a pass or ignored completely by these egotistical self righteous college students and their Islamic handlers for some reason. Read up folks it is pretty gory. Disclaimer as no Jews are involved killing anyone in defense of their nation so, it might not make your radar of importance folks but these wars do matter and need to be highlighted every bit as much as the war in Gaza-Israel. Oh and let's not forget the war on women being waged in the 23 Islamic states around the globe. Do these conflicts matter? I guess they do not matter if you do not live in one of these hyper religious women hating states now do they?

Or maybe worry about the Chinese attempting to "colonize" parts of the Philippines or colonize parts of Nepal or India? Naw, no Jews doing bad so who cares?

Iran has legitimate grievances.

Iran isn't going anywhere. Talk to them.

War for the Chosen on Bibi's say so?

How stupid is Congress?

How corrupt?

In a just world Netanyahu would be taken into custody for crimes against humanity the moment he landed here.

Obama/Biden emboldened, empowered, funded and propped up Iran with their stupid policies.

From early 2017-2021 the ridiculous nuclear deal was scuttled and Iran was weakened and isolated.

Yep... TrumperBell is out in full force with his Trump Defenses.

Wonder how many times he'll vote for Trump? 10, 20?

"One year after President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the multilateral 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, the deal is in deep trouble.

Known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the deal has successfully rolled back Iran's nuclear capabilities and put its activities under tighter monitoring, easing international concerns about Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

Not surprisingly, Trump's ill-conceived "maximum pressure" campaign, which involves reimposing sanctions that were lifted when Iran met key JCPOA requirements, has done nothing to force changes in Iran's regional behavior or push Iran into accepting new U.S. demands.

Rather, the policy has sharply increased tensions in the Persian Gulf and decreased Iran's incentives to continue compliance with the JCPOA."

You're a moron. The deal allowed the US to monitor every step of Iran's supply chain.

Trump scuttled that.

ANY advances Iran makes are directly due to Trump.

They will get the Bomb. They will have adequate missiles to deploy it.

Israel Will Shut the F**k Up...

The whole Middle East will rejoice at the peace and quiet.

Israel is the Tripwire for War.. Not Iran.

This will become more obvious After the Iranians get their Bomb.

Oh please. That "deal", if perfectly adhered to *rolls eyes* would have slightly delayed but ultimately all-but guaranteed a nuclear Iran. In the meantime they flushed the mullahs with cash and pretty much kissed their feet.

It was an absolutely crap deal - almost completely one-sided and short term empowered Iran. These same people lectured the world that a single country even considering what was accomplished via the Abraham Accords was impossible unless Israel surrendered Gaza.

The same people are now big supporters of Hamas.

Your intellectual dishonesty knows no match. In truth the opposite is true. By Trump violating the agreement. Iran wasn't held in check so they began enriching uranium at an alarming rate.

Obama and Biden lifted sanctions and sent pallets full of cash to the mullahs. With almost nothing in return. Insanity and that is being generous.

I was conflating Obama with Biden because I believe that Obama is calling the shots on policy.

Obama did send pallets of cash. "Oh, it was frozen funds.' Okay. But he unfroze those funds to appease. That's how I saw it at the time and as things have unfolded that view has been further solidified.

Pallets of cash, in multiple currencies, flown overseas in the middle of the night only because we still had a rare journalist present to capture it.

"We got caught!!!" is about the worst position to take. But, go right ahead...

You're confusing that with the Iraq war. It was DUBYA who sent pallets of cash.

" we still had a rare journalist present to capture it."

Then pix should be available of the Iranian mullahs and the pallets. Link away.

Between 2003 and 2008, $40bn in cash was wrapped in cellophane and flown in USAF cargo planes from the NY Federal Reserve Bank to Baghdad Intl Airport (BIAP), Iraq.

Not understanding Iraqi tribal names, these moneys were distributed willy-nilly and disappeared into a black hole.

Whenever jihadists were caught with US currency (or weapons), MNFI ran the traces on the serial numbers.

Raising money isn't everything in America.....

It's the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS.

That's why Biden quit. The Donors stopped paying for Play

Why is it considered a Democracy when Policy is for sale and fear of outspending and media blitzes drives political votes and decisions?

The Real Leaders are the Oligarchs. Just like in Russia.

Our system Hides this in Plain View.

Thank-you Republican supported Citizens United.

But one thing I did notice in your comment...

... in America ...

Not "in the Country" or even in "my country."

But referring to the United States in the third person, almost as some foreign thing.

imo, of course.
