How dare Netanyahu speak in the name of America's Jews? - A Special Place in Hell

posted on: Feb 10, 2015

American Jews, brace yourselves. Benjamin Netanyahu is coming. And to hear him tell it, when he takes the rostrum to speak to Congress, he’ll be doing so not only as the leader of Israel, but as your man.

“I went to Paris not just as the prime minister of Israel but as a representative of the entire Jewish people,” Netanyahu said late on Sunday, in a reference to his visit to the French capital following the January murders at the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher supermarket in the city.

Then, alluding to House Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to address a joint session of Congress over Iran, Netanyahu let it be known that on March 3rd, he’d once again be speaking for all Jews:

“Just as I went to Paris, so I will go anyplace I’m invited to convey the Israeli position against those who want to kill us.”

American Jews, brace yourselves. Netanyahu, having spent much of his youth in America, ought to know you better. But no such luck. The prime minister relates to American Jews like a house-pet dog, trainable, capable of being useful, manageable, tamed to violate its undesirable inbred instincts.
