Israelis Know NetanYahoo's Congress Speech Was BS

Following Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress last week, Israel's former intelligence chief voiced his displeasure. As The Hill reports, Meir Dagan, a former Mossad director, strongly disagreed with many of Netanyahu’s assertions, stating that "Iranian missiles will never be able to hit the United States," and that comments that Iran could producer nuclear weapons within a year were "bullshit." But, as Mike Krieger notes below, it's not just just Dagan that is disappointed, a large protest against him erupted in the nation’s section largest city, Tel Aviv. It appears “Bibi” is far more popular with crazy American neocons than he is with his own fellow citizens.

So, was the real purpose of the speech to promote fear as tool of extortion and political pressure? That would be my guess.

In the interest of "fairness", I think the Israelis should let all US Presidential candidates address the Knesset. They seem to have more of a say in our political process than do We The People.
