The Israel Situation II

[Thundercrack85]

I did find it funny that a former Israeli lobbyist actually called the Republican's letter to Iran "the senators treason letter".

As long as the Republicans in congress are... somewhat creepily obsessed with Israel, I don't see much change happening.

Obama probably won't veto an aid package to Israel.

The last president to stand up to Israel and its lobby was Bush Sr. That led to the Oslo peace accords.

The Israeli lobby used to joke that they could get congress to sign a napkin. I think that might actually be true now, with this strange Israel worship Republicans in congress have.

I'm not saying he can't do anything, but Obama does not have the sway Bush Sr. did.

While I don't see much changing in terms of congress I can see the US sort of easing up at the UN constantly putting the kibosh on all things that go against Netanyahu's wishes.

I think the last few days Bibi opened up a can of worms that can be used against him in the future for anybody looking for a good excuse to turn on him
