Netanyahu praises Trump's 'tough stand' against Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday praised President Donald Trump's "tough stand" against Iran after the US leader issued a stark warning to the Islamic republic.

"I would like to praise the tough stand expressed yesterday by President Trump and Secretary of State (Mike) Pompeo against the aggression of the Iranian regime," Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting.

Iran is Israel's main enemy and Netanyahu has long pushed for a tougher stand against it by international powers.

Trump used Twitter on Sunday to send out an all-caps salvo: "NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE."

Um, that is not a tough stand. That is an internet troll tweeting from his toilet seat while trying to push an dense, colossal poo through a diseased, polyp-filled colon that has only trafficked greasy fast food and overcooked, fatty meats. And Netanyahu can STFU AND FOAD for all I care.

Israel would love to get the green light from the US to launch a full scale strike against Iran.

The US is what has generally been holding them back from doing so.

It would be a long war and could engulf the entire mid-east. No doubt result in millions of dead, civil wars, economies shattered, etc. It could even result in the Israeli government to seriously consider the Samson Initiative....and no one wants that.

Netanyahu is just a political opportunist...and if you ask me, the only thing Jewish about him is some of his blood. The fucker to me is nothing more than another Herod. He doesn't give a shit about Israel, only his own well being.

Although the Trumps didn't mind "slumming it" with them after their Saudi visit.
