Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on another media crusade that includes him giving one-on-one interviews with the likes of CBS, ABC, NBC, and NPR. He is using much of the same rhetoric everywhere he goes, and every single time he is proclaiming that this is a “bad, bad, deal.” What’s probably not as talked about though is that Netanyahu, in his epic tirade against Obama, also created a new Twitter account in Farsi. He has gone so low as to start instigating more bitter conflicts with Iranians in their own language. And, it’s backfiring on him in a big way.
When Netanyahu first launched his new Twitter handle, most people thought it was fake. Bozorgmehr Sharafedi Nouri, an Iran correspondent for Reuters in Dubai, tweeted his doubts, but was immediately contacted by the Embassy of Israel which then confirmed its authenticity.
Netanyahu attempted to convince the Iranian people directly that its leaders will only use the “billions of dollars” for “terrorism and invasion” instead of “hospitals and schools.”
People were very quick to point out that Netanyahu’s tweets were riddled with grammar and typo mistakes. But, that’s not what stood out the most. When Netanyahu continued with the same rhetoric that he would end up giving to the west, Iranians called him out for it. Quite hilariously, they turned his own statements against him and reminded him of his treatment of the Palestinian people. In this epic response, one user pointed out Israel’s hypocrisy by tweeting:
Why are you trying so hard to make the people of Iran hate their leaders, when you are committing daily genocides in Palestine?
They have a point.
Netanyahu is making his rounds in the media using the phrases:
They (Iran) decided that they want to wipe Israel off the map,
and,
If somebody says, ‘I’m going to destroy you,’ you know, what you want to do is make sure they can’t.
The only problem is Israel is attempting to do the same thing to Palestine. And, it’s the biggest hypocrisy in the world.
Israel is so fearful of being harmed that it thinks it has carte blanche to treat others anyhow it wants, while at the same time not play by the same rules. It merely undermines its moral authority and makes Netanyahu look like a giant ass.
What makes him and every Republican running for President in the United States all look like buffoons, is that this isn’t just “Obama’s deal.” Practically every European and major neighboring state in the region is praising this deal as a “Historic solution that will verifiably cut off all the pathways Iran has to develop a nuclear weapon.” Germany, France, Britain, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, all like the deal. They don’t see it as undermining their security, at all. They are, instead, praising it as strengthening the “stability of the region.” But, the Hawks just won’t shut up. Netanyahu and his Republican butt-buddies in Congress are hell-bent on trying to prove to the world that Obama has just done the American people a disservice, but they’re the only ones talking negatively about it.
It’s not sure what Netanyahu is trying to accomplish by speaking out so forcefully. Even if he persuades a Republican Congress to void the deal, they likely won’t take up the matter until August and will have 60 days to make a decision. Republicans would still have to get enough votes to override Obama’s veto, and even then, it still wouldn’t matter. Here’s why: In just a little over a week, the United Nations Security Council will already be lifting sanctions on Iran worldwide. If the United States were the only nation to impose sanctions, it just wouldn’t have the same effect. Iran is already boosting oil production and has millions of barrels standing by ready to flood the world market. Not only did this deal strengthen security, but it’s a boom economically. Expect oil prices to descend to historic lows. Thanks, Obama.
Netanyahu is doing everything he can to bad-mouth Obama, but Obama expected this all along. The cunning chess player that he is told New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman just one day before Netanyahu’s attacks, that after the Israeli Prime Minister exhausts all his options they will work something out.
“But, after that’s done, if that’s what he thinks is appropriate, then I will sit down, as we have consistently throughout my administration, and then ask some very practical questions: How do we prevent Hezbollah from acquiring more sophisticated weapons? How do we build on the success of Iron Dome, which the United States worked with Israel to develop and has saved Israeli lives?”
As much as Israel is claiming this deal is harming them, they sure are going to be receiving a lot more financial assistance (even more than the $3 billion per year they already get). Yes, while they bad-mouth Obama on every major network around the country, they are discussing a compensation package that will surely be sending billions more dollars their way. Perhaps Netanyahu should just accept the facts and utter two well-known words that the rest of the world has already agreed upon: “Thanks, Obama.”
