We were warned that foreign adversaries and friends would be feeling out the new President. Well Netanyahu is expected in the USA toward the end of next week. Does anyone doubt that there will be a renewed call for war with Iran?
Netanyahu laid the ground work for the Iraq conflict with his visit back in 2001. He tried to get us into a military conflict with Iran last year. I'm tired of Israel treating America like England treats Canada and Australia. We are not a colony that comes to the aid when the mother country wants to start a war.
He's mad because Trump took the Obama policy of not wanting them to build settlements farther out.

Trump had dinner with one of his biggest donors, Sheldon Adelsen, this week. Where Adelson goes, Netanyahu follows.
Israel has been the single greatest beneficiary of US financial aid over the past 70 years. The 10 year Bush Aid package which expires this year was $31 Billion. This does not include the $500 million a year the US gives for dome projects. The Obama Admin honored the Bush Admin package.
In 2016, the Obama Admin made a new ten year commitment of $38 billion over 10 years. This amounts to $40,000 per every Isralie citizen. Lindsey Graham who chairs the Senate sub committee that is responsible for appropriation of foreign aid was disappointed with the amount and vowed to allocate an additional $ 1.5 billion a year.
Instead of completely self funding their own defense, Israel can allocate resources to Universal Healthcare that takes care of all Israeli people including abortion. Instead of completely self funding their own defense, Israel can provide university education to its people at a nominal cost.
Netanyahu wants more $. He will gush over needed travel bans and sanctions, too. And then wax poetically about the proliferation of neuclear bombs in Iran. It's just another step to encourage the US to go to war with Iran.
So long as the US backs Isreal and persists poking the Bears in the Middle East, terrorism will grow.
It would certainly be easier and cheaper to welcome all 8 million people of Israel into the US where their freedoms could be protected and last one out, thow a match.
In his famous 1961 farewell speech, Eisenhower warned:
" In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisistion of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought by the military industrial complex, the potential for disasterous use of misplaced power exists, and will persist."
Netanyahu is the defacto Commander In Chief of US forces in the Middle East and is coming to personally hand Trump his orders and strategize the next US Middle East war.
What?
Let's not try to rewrite history here. Netanyahu was here last year to scuttle the Iran deal. He failed.
Yeah, Bibi failed big time. And Obama never forgot that and stuck it to him with the UN censure in December. Obama gave Bibi a lesson in realpolitik. I thought it was well executed.
As to what Bibi is up to this time - I am sure he is trying to suck the US into Israeli intrigues in the ME, particularly with Iran. He would like nothing better than for the US to be suckered into bombing Iranian ballistic missile sites.
Bibi needs to go have a through chitchat with a fellow member of his religious persuasion, " George Soros and Company" and inform him that his endless funding of "color wars", in the name of diversity, open borders, and for the New World Order belief/ agenda against any nationalism, respect of individual race, creed and cultures goes against Israel's desire/ demand for a Jewish nation state.
See the irony here? What's good for the goose is bad for the gander, huh?
