President Barack Obama is sending National Security Advisor Susan Rice and UN Ambassador Samantha Power–widely seen as among the most anti-Israel members of his administration–to address a prominent pro-Israel gathering next week. The move is described by the Associated Press as an effort to mend fences after the administration had withheld speakers from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference. In reality, it is a further slap in the face.
Rice caused an uproar earlier this week when she told interviewer Charlie Rose that the forthcoming speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a special joint session of Congress was “destructive” to the U.S.-Israel relationship and to bipartisan support for Israel. Power is controversial because of her earlier view that the U.S. should send troops to impose peace between Israelis and Palestinians–a view she recanted as she campaigned for the United Nations position.
All of the democrats say his speech will hurt US-Israeli relations. The only people I see pissed off are the democrats. So, they’re threatening Netanyahu by saying THEY will no longer be Israel’s friend because he’s making a speech.
Democrats, and liberals in general, are just plain stupid. They should have aides who vet everything before they say it.
What they’re really pissed about is Netanyahu is going to tell the world why the democrats don’t want him talking.
“”to address a prominent pro-Israel gathering next week””
Is this different than the AIPAC where Netanyahu will be speaking? I don’t like to go to breitbart as it slow loads with all the ads..
