Boehner used like a puppet on a string by Netanyahu who initiated the now disastrous 'invitation'

132. I just read your post #105 and I remember the disrespect for Kerry and Obama. I think the world does

view Netanyahu as a warmonger and that does reflect very badly on Israel. Which is why I don't understand why he keeps getting re-elected. All signs show that no one wants a war with Iran which would probably be more devastating to Israel than any other nation.

Even the NATO countries seem to understand that.

I know that Dermer was reported for violating the law, apparently he gave a speech in Brooklyn which was interpreted as a 'campaign speech' by their political opponents in violation of an Israeli law which carries up to a five year prison sentence airc.

I guess there is some protocol involved so someone would have to file another complaint. Israelis are aware of his latest attempt to use his position to campaign for Netanyahu. So maybe that will happen.

If he is using the embassy here to undermine the efforts for peace you just outlined, that should be grounds for the US to request that Israel recall him. And if he is again violating Israel's laws, they don't need much more of an excuse.

Here's a link to that story regarding him being reprimanded for campaigning for Netanyahu: Israel Ambassador in US Reprimanded For Forbidden Political Campaigning On Behalf of Netanyahu

You would think he would be more cautious than to engage in these blatant tactics after being reprimanded already for what seems to have been far less serious.

I seriously don't see how the US can let this pass without some kind of consequences.

It is a golden opportunity now to put Netanyahu in his place once and for all. It seems to me that he is doing more harm to Israel than anyone else.

As you said, it's easy to be a bully when you have the US behind you, but there are may signs lately that that might change when our OWN national security concerns are involved.

I do think people should start calling the Israeli Embassy, but it would need to be organized by someone to get the attention of the media. One or two calls from individuals isn't going to do much.
