How Netanyahu Lost the Iran Deal

[herding cats]

3. Netanyahu has done serious damage to the RW pro-Israel lobby in the US.

He very foolishly turned the relationship between his government and ours into a partisan issue in the US. His insulting our president started before the speech. The speech just took it to a different level that left many US citizens staring with gaping mouths at his level of disrespect for our system of government, and by extension all US citizens.

As for AIPAC, they'll have to reevaluate the relations they have with current politicians they've caused to resent them over the course of the past year. If they were to take a long hard look at themselves, they'd reevaluate how they attempt to lobby from top to bottom. They totally disregard the current voting population of this country and what they're thinking, feeling and paying attention to now. Times have changed and AIPAC hasn't kept up.


My only hope is that now that the rift has been exposed, some of the more liberal pro-Israel lobbying groups can step up to fill the gap.
