The comment by Cliff Page is one of the most skewed against Israel and full of mis information that I've ever read!
Israel does NOT want war with Iran - Israel wants to keep them from getting nukes!! Israel has every right to defend itself! If you ALL will recall - THREE Israeli boys were killed by Hamas just preceding the strikes against Gaza last summer!
ALL that aid money the 'palestinians' get.... none of it goes into building schools etc... they build terror tunnels and weapons stashes in schools and hospitals.... they don't give two craps about their people... using women and children as shields.... unbelievable!
Israel and the US have been allies from day one! Israel is the ONLY democracy in the middle east and why we are giving them hard time and seemingly supporting those who want to destroy them and changing sides is somewhat of a mystery.
Members of the CBC are behaving like a bunch of whining babies throwing hissy fits! IF they had our countries BEST interest at heart they would at least listen to what PM Netanyahu has to say about Iran's plans! If Iran gets a nuke we are all in deep deep doo doo! Being grown ups is what they're supposed to do instead of walking out like spoiled little children. I want to hear what BiBi has to say just like I would be willing to give respect to other leaders even if I didn't agree with them..... I WANT TO HEAR BOTH SIDES!!
UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING TO HIDE ............ LET BIBI SPEAK!
SILENCING VOICES ISN'T WISE ..............LET FREEDOM OF THE PRESS WORK... IF OBAMA HAS AN OPPOSING VIEW.... HE CAN VOICE IT AND LET THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BE INFORMED!
THAT IS THE OPINION OF THIS 60 YEAR OLD WHO ONLY HAS OUR INTEREST AT HEART AND BY THE WAY I WAS NO FAN OF BUSH!!

I encourage the CBC to lead the nation in a boycott of PM Bibi Netanyahu's speech to the Congress. The United States should not be sending $3.5 Billion to Israel just to have Israel and hasbara Zionist sympathizers and American 5th columnist spent $20 Million in buying off the Congress. Nor should our Congress be intimidated or coerced by such a minority group of individuals, particularly if they are foreign nationals. It is against US law for American legislators to lobby and financially interfere in foreign affairs and it is repugnant that our Congress is owned and dictated to by Israel. The government and people of Israel routinely throw this contempt in our faces in their in their own press.
Israel and its right wing government is about to pass a "Jewish State Bill" which will officially discriminate against anyone in Israel that is not Jewish and speaking Hebrew - Jews, Christians and Druze. Druze who serve in the IDF have already been beaten up for speaking Arabic. Israel operates as a limited democracy, but one that lacks a Bill of Rights. Yet, it is obligated to abide by numerous documents to which it is a signatory: The Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations Charter, the UN Charter and the Ben-Gurion Zionist Declaration, which required the State of Israel and the Jews living in Palestine to uphold the right and liberties of the indigenous peoples and it has not done so since 1947. Rather, it has used its stated policy of Plan D to carry out ethnic cleansing and apartheid since it was first employed by the Irgun in 1948. Israel is a racist, theocratic and discriminatory state that practices state beatings, physical abuse against pregnant women and children, murder, penal torture, colonization, property theft, child incarceration, disproportionate warfare, and usurpation and theft of natural resources. Israel is a tyranny Zionist racism and Fascism. Israel and particularly Netanyahu and his FM Lieberman have provoked anti-Semitism amongst the civilian populations of other nations, including our own, to its benefit and political ends.
Israel is not a friend of Great Britain nor the United States and has used terror against both our nations: The bombing of the King David Hotel 1948; the Lavon Affair 1954; and the attack on the USS Liberty 1967. It has also spied on the United States and stolen state secrets. Israel is not our friend and it is obscene that our Congress is bought and owned by them. This must end. The CBC should take a stand against Israeli racism. Racism and racist policies and apartheid are not just about the color of a man's skin and the CBC should stand up to show their resolve that they are opposed to racism universally, not just racism against blacks, although that is certainly being carried out in Israel also.
PM Netanyahu's speaking to the Congress about Iran is an effort on his part to strengthen his chances to win an election for his right wing Lakud party, to form an extremist reactionary and Fascist coalition; to deflect attention away from the revulsion created in young, Orthodox and liberal Jews in America and in Europeans opposed to Israel and its policies, who in general have all stood up in protest to the Israeli and Zionist slaughter in Gaza. There nearly 2500 mostly innocent civilians were slaughtered with pin point artillery strikes and while IDF destroyed of billions of dollars in real-estate. The fast growing global support for Palestinian statehood and their acceptance as a member of the ICC; and their intention to bring war crimes against Netanyahu and the state of Israel, have put the true "fear of God" in the Israeli government.
It is time that America made a change in its misguided policies and reject Fascism and supports human rights. Israel has no Bill of Rights and has been the principal model for terrorism and counter terrorism in the Middle East from its birth. It is a wolf cloaked in a sheep skin. It is a slap in the face to this President and
