the bigger audience he will have for the good of the country.

are trying to hold Bibi back !

The Israeli diplomacy is failing us. Bad managers, bad mid and low level human resources. We need time to develop a better diplomatic service.

obama does not want netanyahu to tell congress and the american people that the deal he is set to sign with iran will let the totalitarian genocidal terror regime keep its nuclear weapons program virtually intact.

It is plain to most Americans that Bibi should delay his speech until after the elections if he wants to be heard. He is not popular here except on FOX and that says a lot. He should stay home and explain his failed domestic economic promises and stop adding settlements. Bibi erred--badly--in misleading Boehner and disrespecting, once again, Israel's most important ally--her only ally at the moment.

if obama and his minions have a problem with netanyahu speaking there, let him take it up with congress, who had invited him to speak. they more represent american opinion than (unpopular) obama does. also, i think its pretty pathetic that the anti-netanyahu crowd in israel is not standing behind their leader when he is going to speak about matters of great importance for israel

I really don't know what "relationship" you think you have with the White House right now but I can assure you, you haven't had one since Obamas been in office! ... This is probably why the visit Netanyahu is so crucial right now. The only people I know of that are upset are the Democrats and believe me a lot of their constituants will not be happy if they miss that meeting! I cannot believe you belittle the whole Iran issue. They are getting very close to a nuclear device and that, in and of itself should terrify you!

Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations don't support the Obama policy on Iran

The GOP/likud/ Aipac party and Netanyahu are going to pay dearly for their war-mongering. European countries are going to make him pay too after the disrespect to French PM Hollande. I expect any UN resolution the settlements will be passed without a US veto. It seems that Bibi is bordering on psychosis

if the deal with iran were favourable to american national security, obama would not be panicked about netanyahu's speech to congress. obama is doing all in his power to bully the prime minister of israel, extort him and threaten him with all manner of punishments if the prime minister gives his speech. we know that obama has every intention to attempt to force his will on the jewish state as he has done thus far. undoubtedly, netanyahu has made the calculation together with his closest advisors. he knows that obama will encourage european sanctions and might withhold unsc vetoes. obama might withhold weapons. we also know that obama's hatred of israel is fathomless and his punishments will come regardless of this speech.

This article contains paragraph after paragraph of prophecies about what "will" happen. So how accurate is Orly as a prophetess? Last November she prophesied: "The countries of the coalition against IS have realized that their inability to save Kobani will turn into a military and political catastrophe for the West." In the meantime, Kobani WAS saved.

Israel has many strong & unbreakable allies (Canada, India, Australia....) and Bibi's popularity in the left wing media in any country is completely irrelevant when you consider the bipartisan support Israel has in both Houses of the legislative branch of the US government. Obama is a radical leftist, lame duck president, and Bibis speech can help in the attempt to have a Congressional majority overturn the bad deal that Obama is on the verge of signing. The bond between Israel and the US goes far beyond the Obama administration. He has been an unprecedented failure as the leader of the free world and the American people are finally the wiser. If the Iranians get the bomb, Israel has a problem that not even the US could solve. Who cares what Obama thinks? Its our struggle for security and survival that is on the line, and a president that has one foot out the door and no congressional support should be the least of anyones concerns. The matters at hand have implications that will affect Israel and the world long after his failed presidency. Bibi has the long term vision in mind with this speech. He has impressed me with his courage and leadership in the face of adversity. I was not going to vote for him until recently. This speech is one of the reasons that I have decided to vote in favour of him, and there are ALOT of other Israelis who see it the same way I do.

israel will stick to her guns and do whats best for israel not whats best for the usa america has no longer the luxury of calling israel friend maybe just associate when its in israel best interest trust if lost is very hard to regain and the usa is not trusted by israel loose lips obama has destroyed the trust maybe after the election israel will try to cultivate a genuine friendship with the usa new president
