Netanyahu threatens to kill himself over Iran

Netanyahu’s spokespeople said he plans to “kill himself” pursuing the last remaining option for scuttling the deal – preventing its ratification by the U.S. House of Representatives – by persuading Democratic congressmen to defect to the Republican camp and vote against their president. The destruction and devastation he avoided inflicting on the nuclear facilities scattered throughout Iran, he now wants to wreck on what’s left of U.S.-Israel relations. Here we again see his compulsive gambler syndrome: After losing his pants, he’s now putting his underwear on the roulette wheel in a move that experts on American politics say hasn’t much of a chance.

Maybe it's time to retire. Your dream of the entire Middle East in ruins doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon, not unless you get another fool Republican in the US presidency, rubber stamped by a corrupt Congress.

Times are changing, Shithead, so change with them or bow out.

as well as the Middle East. He is bat sh*t crazy. He is clueless that his insane attitude towards Iran probably feeds into Iran's sense of self preservation and need to develop nuclear bombs as a deterent to Isreal. So far, Israel is the one that keeps attacking Iran militarily. Iran has only attacked Isreal with words.


He had a younger brother, Yonatan Netanyahu, who was a special forces type soldier in the Israeli army most well known now for being the only soldier to die at Entebbe, Uganda during the rescue of jewish airline passengers being held hostage. After this death, his family released a book of letters that Yonatan had written to various people throughout his adult life. He was an interesting person. I read the book a long time ago but what I remembered from it was tha Yonatan came to realize that perpetual war was not the answer for Isreal. He came to believe that Isreal really needed to find a path to permanent peace and co-existence with their neighbors. It seemed like he realized that a perpetual state of war is draining on the soul of the country. Had he not died so young, it would be interesting to see what he would have evolved to and what influence he might have had on his brother.
