I very much like Bibi as a person, but he’s very much a moderate.
(Jewish Home is actually my party, and it is much more conservative.)
What this tells you is how left Obama is.

I got a little too far ahead of myself on the last comments.
Despite where he may fall on the political spectrum, what he has done is push for action on Iran hard for the past years, even verbally announcing a plans for a unilateral strike in April or so of 2013 if I remember correctly.
I remember watching the interview and he is a likeable guy with a good physical presence.
What he hasn’t done is learn how to take “No” for answer and continues to be a thorn in the side of this administration and other stakeholders, who have decided to go the negotiation route for the time being.
Sooner or later, the political BS has to end, and everybody needs to get on board to give things at least a chance to work out. There’s a time for debate but after a plan has to be decided on, the loser of the debate cannot be allowed to sabotage further efforts.
This is why I refer to him as a whackjob, and sadly he is not the only one on the political stage who displays this type of unreasonable and ill-dignified behavior.[/quote]
Iran and its proxies in the Muslim Brotherhood directly threaten Israel and have murdered many Israeli citizens. It’s easy to push “negotiation” when you yourself are not threatened.
But the reason Obama and Co push negotiation is that they do not want Israel to defend themselves and have thrown money and weapons to the Muslims Brotherhood to destroy Israel, albeit more slowly than they would like.
Granting privileges and “negotiations” to Iran in the face of its threats to Israel, and its lies about Iranian nuclear activities is simply stalling.
