Netanyahu gives Congress a lesson

Netanyahu to Congress members: Iran is like ’50 North Koreas’ threatening ‘every US state’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday told a visiting group of bipartisan members of Congress that Iran could threaten “every city in the United States” if it gets a nuclear weapon.

“Iran is 50 North Koreas; it is not merely a neighborhood bully like the dynasty that rules North Korea,” he said.

“This is an ideological force that views us, Israel, as a small satan, and views you as the great satan — and to have Iran being able to threaten every city in the United States with nuclear blackmail is a changing of history.” [WorldIsraelNews]

Can one expect the Biden administration to support Israel? Anyone who believes this might happen hasn’t been following events recently. The first instinct of the Biden administration and the team it inherited from Barack Obama, will be to blame Israel for any escalation, demanding that it restrain itself.

It is time to start preparing an Israeli response to this impending challenge and Benjamin Netanyahu is the man who can do it. The solution must include taking an open stand against the disastrous policy of the Biden administration in the region.

From Wikipedia:
Netanyahu returned to the United States in late 1972 to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After briefly returning to Israel to fight in the Yom Kippur War, he returned to the United States and under the name Ben Nitay, completed a bachelor's degree[34] in architecture[35] in February 1975 and earned a master's degree[34] from the MIT Sloan School of Management in June 1976. Concurrently, he was studying towards a doctorate[32] in political science,[36][37] until his studies were broken off by the death of his brother in Operation Entebbe.[32]

At MIT, Netanyahu studied a double-load, completing a master's degree (that would normally take four years) in only two and a half years, despite taking a break to fight in the Yom Kippur War. Professor Leon B. Groisser at MIT recalled: "He did superbly. He was very bright. Organized. Strong. Powerful. He knew what he wanted to do and how to get it done.
