And why does this tiny, second rate, country have the entire United States federal government wrapped around its finger?
An evil conspiracy of joos, no doubt.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Reuters/Jonathan Ernst)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced his fierce opposition to Iran’s nuclear program before a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. He has said an ideal agreement would mean “absolutely no enrichment capabilities whatsoever.”
On Monday, Netanyahu appeared in Washington before his controversial speech to Congress and just weeks before his reelection to speak to the kingpin of the Israeli lobby in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
The prime minister was invited by Republican lawmakers who bypassed the White House and State Department, ruffling more than a few political feathers in the US capital.
At least 55 congressional Democrats have announced they will boycott Netanyahu’s speech, according to the Hill, again showing political fractures in Washington. The Israeli prime minister has said he believed the “two-party leadership” of Congress had invited him, but congressional aides said they knew of no congressional Democrats who had been consulted, according to Reuters.
Based largely on the break in protocol for a head-of-state visit, US President Barack Obama has refused to meet the Israeli PM during his visit, while Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry are both abroad.
Netanyahu has repeatedly spoken out -- in the most bellicose of terms -- against ongoing negotiations between Iran, the United States and other world powers regarding Tehran’s nuclear program.
Netanyahu also brushed off any criticism of the congressional address as he thanked both Democratic and Republican members of Congress for their consistent support of Israel.

Entangling alliances much?
Nancy Pelosi reacts to Benjamin Netanyahu's speech by saying, "I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech."
Here's her full statement:
“The unbreakable bonds between the United States and Israel are rooted in our shared values, our common ideals and mutual interests. Ours is a deep and abiding friendship that will always reach beyond party. Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with the Israeli people. The state of Israel stands as the greatest political achievement of the 20th century, and the United States will always have an unshakable commitment to Israel’s security.
“That is why, as one who values the U.S. – Israel relationship, and loves Israel, I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister’s speech – saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.
“Today, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated something we all agree upon: a nuclear armed Iran is unacceptable to both our countries. We have all said that a bad deal is worse than no deal, and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons is the bedrock of our foreign policy and national security. As President Obama has said consistently, all options are on the table for preventing a nuclear-armed Iran.”
This needs to be sent to all the idiots who think that he has sold out.
