1. Representation
Michael ,   Haifa   (03.01.15)
Netanyahu represents the State of Israel, unfortunately. Even though I am an Israeli citizen and live here, I associate myself with his Opposition, and, thus do not need his megalomaniac assumption that he represents me.
2. bibi a real jewish patriot-god bless you
miriam ,   israel   (03.01.15)
3. @ 1
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (03.01.15)
He is making a big mistake. He should stay home and mobilize his military and put his combat troops on alert and address his own people and just go to war. Congress can't and will do nothing for him except applause and take pictures with AIPAC supporters. The only reason he is going is for votes. He is the master of deception and is deceiving his people and bringing his problems to the US by effing with the POTUS. His problems are domestic. He is partly responsible for the outrageous prices for substandard housing, double or triple the prices compared to the US for basic goods, such as cars, fuel and some food stuffs at almost half the wages. On top of that his government has the balls to beg the US for more money. I can't figure this man out. He should go lobby the Chinese, Russians, Germans and Brits and French and see how much you get from them.
4. History repeats. Anciently, Queen Esther asked for the Jews
Rivkah   (03.01.15)
to be saved in Persia from the wicked Haman on Adar 12 which in 2015 is March 3 when PM Netanyahu will ask that the Jews of Israel be protected from Persia (Iran) that calls Israel the little Satan and the USA the big Satan and wants to destroy both with nuclear weapons. The ELS Scripture code matrix on this visit and speech say PM Netanyahu will not be heeded. That is a tragedy for the world because if Herzog and Livni are elected and they are willing to divide Jerusalem, that will lead to an attack on Israel that Scriptures says will kill 2/3 of Israel with 1/3 fleeing into the desert. But the judgment of HaShem for that will be the earth changes and world wide atomic war and the deaths of 2/3 of the planet's population from wars and famine and drought and wild animal attacks. Yes, there will be another holocaust of Jews that only HaShem can avert. If PM Netanyahu is kept in office, there is a chance the division of Jerusalem will not happen during his watch, unlike with Herzog and Livni who want to appease the Palestinians at the cost of putting Israel in great danger.
5. Blue is Sara's color! Great choice of garment!

6. it take courage to do this
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (03.01.15)
Certainly Bibi is putting his career on the line, but his focus is not himself but the welfare of the entire state of Israel. He, as many others, view Iran as a very serious threat to the ME. No matter what happens, his political enemies will can him in the most negative light, and he knows this. Yet it is not his political future that worries him, it is my life and my neighbors' lives also. For this I take of my hat to Bibi.
7. There's no contradiction:IF this brings Likud back into
(03.01.15)
power- that is good for Israel. If it somehow influences the American conduct vis a vis Iranians : good for the Jews too...Win/win proposition. Obama can shoot himself in the head, that'd be great for: 1) the free world,2) America, 3) Israel
8. Netanyahu
Mike ,   Rishon le Zion   (03.01.15)
All the top Israeli security officials are advising Netanyahu that this speech will do more harm than good. The Americans have continuously expressed their objection to him interfering. Even American Jews are against it for fear of a domestic backlash. Just WHAT PART OF ALL THIS DOESN'T NETANYAHU UNDERSTAND?
9. Hope his security detail is on the alert !
barbara ,   Haifa   (03.01.15)
10. Bibi, all of Israel
Shalom   (03.01.15)
except for the anti-Zionist Union will pray for your success in your speech and in your re-election. Good luck!
11. purim
mike north ,   karmiel israell   (03.01.15)
No -this is serious Presentday Haman(Iran) must be stopped and Binyamin(like Mordechai) is ish ymini It is no coincidence that all this is about to happen hours before the fast of Esther. Talking about allies....the only true ally is the One above Am Yisrael-just be strong
12. Bibi does not represent my views......
Oliver ,   Eilat   (03.01.15)
13. The main reason Bibi picked the day is because of PURIM..
Asher ,   NY,USA   (03.01.15)
and he'll win a double trophy both in US and Home....There are people on the scene playing Haman(booooo) and Vashti...
14. I can understand King Bibi the Weak represents Israel,
A ,   Belgium   (03.01.15)
but who does Queen Sarah the Angry represent, the taxpayers who are financing her unnecessary tagging along?
15. #8 The only ones advising Netanyahu against it
(03.01.15)
are the left, including the left American Jews, the ones who elected Obama. That should be enough for you to grasp how important Netanyahu's speech is.
16. Jack Shuman: "israel does not have the military power to
A ,   Belgium   (03.01.15)
stop iran", and America doesn't have a president who is willing to stand up to tyrants, but he sure puts on the "tough guy" act when it comes to Israel and Netanyahu.
