Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region Forumsthank you Pres. Obama for not bending to Netanyahu
Netanyahu is a well known right wing nut, and Obama is doing the right thing by taking a hard line against his trying to have the USA put undue pressure by threats on Iran. It is not necessary to always use force of arms as diplomacy.

"Right-wing nut"? How about "man determined to REMEMBER HISTORY and insure Israel's survival"?

(12,977 posts)Iranians didn't kill Bibi's brother. Iran was still in the iron grip of the Shah then and the two countries were on warm terms and were considered natural allies.
Nuclear weapons didn't kill Bibi's brother.
Bibi's brother was killed by hijackers from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. And Bibi gets to exact revenge for that every day of the week.
Using Entebbe as an excuse for invading Iran is like the Bush administration using 9/11 as an excuse for invading Iraq. It does not parse -- and it shows a profound ignorance of history.
Beyond that, if Bibi wants to incite an outbreak of terrorism like nothing seen since the 1970s , he's certainly going about it the right way.

Netanyahu is a right wing nut and also happens to be wrong and President Obama should tell him so and listen to Rami Elhanan instead.
There is a different path than the right wing one and the world can be a better place if we stand up and make it so.
Peace
