WASHINGTON — Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel used one
of the most prominent platforms in the
world on Tuesday to warn against what
he considers an ill-advised nuclear deal
being negotiated with Iran, culminating a
drama that has roiled Israeli-American
relations for weeks.
In an implicit challenge to President
Obama, Mr. Netanyahu told a joint
meeting of Congress that Iran’s
“tentacles of terror” were already
clutching Israel and that failing to stop
Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons
“could well threaten the survival of my
country.” The deal Mr. Obama seeks will
not prevent a nuclear-armed Iran, he
said, but “will all but guarantee” it.
“We must all stand together to stop
Iran’s march of conquest, subjugation
and terror,” Mr. Netanyahu told the
lawmakers, who responded with
repeated standing ovations.
Mr. Netanyahu’s address, by far the most
anticipated speech to Congress by a
foreign leader in many years, has
generated resentment and reinforcement
from different quarters while driving a
partisan wedge between Democrats and
Republicans. While he was escorted to
the rostrum by a bipartisan delegation of
lawmakers and greeted with raucous
enthusiasm, especially by Republicans,
more than 50 Democrats skipped the
event.
Mr.
Netanyahu tried to defuse some of the
political edge that preceded his arrival by
praising Mr. Obama for all he has done to
support Israel. Mr. Netanyahu cited several
instances when he called the president for
help, such as seeking more missile
interceptors during Israel’s military
operations against Hamas. “I will always be
grateful to President Obama for that
support,” Mr. Netanyahu told lawmakers.
And he repeated a comment he made
elsewhere on Monday lamenting the furor
that surrounded his visit. “I deeply regret
that some perceive my being here as
political,” he said. “That was never my
intention. I want to thank you Democrats
and Republicans for your common support for
Israel, year after year, decade after decade.”
But he argued that Iran remains as radical and
untrustworthy as ever, even though it and the
United States are effectively on the same side in
battling the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or
ISIL. “This regime will always be an enemy of
America,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “Don’t be fooled.
The battle between Iran and ISIS doesn’t turn Iran
into a friend of America. Iran and ISIS are
competing for the crown of militant Islam.”
Sitting in the packed gallery of the House chamber
were Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust survivor and Nobel
peace laureate; Sheldon G. Adelson, the Republican
casino magnate and one of Mr. Netanyahu’s prime
backers; and Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of
the House. Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was
out of the country, so standing next to Speaker
John A. Boehner behind the Israeli prime minister
was Senator Orrin G. Hatch, the Utah Republican
who serves as president pro tempore of the
Senate.
For Mr. Netanyahu, the stakes could hardly be
higher. Coming just two weeks before Israeli
elections, the speech offered an opportunity to
build support at home for another term while
rallying opposition abroad to a diplomatic accord
that he sees as a threat to his country’s security.
Before the address, Abraham H. Foxman, national
director of the Anti-Defamation League, predicted
that it would be “the most important speech of his
political life.”

why should Israel be allowed to have nuclear weapons but Iran cant have nuclear weapons. Israel is the only country in the middle east with nuclear weapons. Don't be brainwashed by the Jewish media. Israel is a zionist and racist country
