Boehner’s Boner Bibi’s Toast Vanunu’s Freedom Soon or Later

By Eileen Fleming

John Boehner’s latest boner –meaning a clumsy or stupid mistake- was inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint Session of Congress two weeks before the Israeli elections in March.

 Boehner’s invite inserted Bibi into the middle of the dispute between the President and Republicans over Iran’s nuclear program which rallied Democratic representatives in the House and Senate in support of Netanyahu cancelling.

The White House and senior officials in the Democratic Party called Netanyahu’s conduct in the affair as “inappropriate.”

On Friday Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi did not rule out the possibility that many Democratic lawmakers would boycott Netanyahu’s speech on March 3.

Haaretz reported:

Pelosi laid into Netanyahu, noting that if he wants to discuss his concerns over the Iran’s nuclear program he has many other opportunities to do so, and he does not have to do it in a joint session of the two houses of Congress.

“The opportunities are great,” Pelosi said, and noted that the Israeli leader often appears on Sunday talk shows in the U.S.

Also according to Haaretz:

Senior Israeli and American officials say the White House is seething with anger against Netanyahu.

Following the trick he concocted with Republican leaders in Congress, Netanyahu is said to be “toast” as far as Obama is concerned.

An Israeli official said the strong words he heard American officials use against Netanyahu convinced him that even if 
Netanyahu is elected on March 17 for another term, Obama wouldn’t meet him before he leaves the White House in a little less than two years.

 

In December 2014 a top UN official called for an investigation into Israel’s cache of chemical weapons.

Israel Radio quoted the official as saying that the UN needed to begin an investigation of Israel on its chemical weapons stores, as it did with Syria.

The official did not specify what kinds of weapons or how much of them were in Israel’s possession but he said they were “substantial.”

In 1983, the CIA issued a report that said that “finding itself surrounded by frontline Arab states with budding chemical warfare capabilities, [Israel] became increasingly conscious of its vulnerability to chemical attack… undertook a program of chemical warfare preparations in both offensive and protective areas…

“In late 1982 a probable CW nerve agent production facility and a storage facility were identified at the Dimona Sensitive Storage Area in the Negev Desert. Other CW agent production is believed to exist within a well-developed Israeli chemical industry.”
Israel and North Korea are the only countries in the world with known stocks of chemical weapons.

 

During his recent visit to West Point, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin spoke at a ceremony honoring the Israeli military’s first brigadier general, David Daniel Marcus, who is buried there.

Rivlin said the deceased’s life was a testimony to the “simple truth” that those defending Israel and those defending the U.S. are defending the “shared values” of liberty and democracy.

 

book 4 front and back Liberty means freedom and the simple truth is the most unfree in any so-called democracy are the indigenous Palestinians and Moroccan born Mordechai Vanunu.

Israel also has never been a democracy as Ariel Sharon explained:

“The terms ‘democracy’ or ‘democratic’ are totally absent from the Declaration of Independence. This is not an accident.

“The intention of Zionism was not to bring democracy, needless to say. It was solely motivated by the creation in Eretz-Isrel of a Jewish state belonging to all the Jewish people and to the Jewish people alone.

“This is why any Jew of the Diaspora has the right to immigrate to Israel and to become a citizen of Israel.”-May 28, 1993

 

However we live Orwell’s nightmare so most Americans are ignorant of that simple truth as well as the simple truth Israel could not sustain its occupation of Palestine or nuclear deceptions without USA collusion.

Because we live Orwell’s nightmare the simple truth exposed by Vanunu’s 1985 photos of Israel’s Dimona are ignored by USA Media despite being aired on Israeli TV in 2004- and freely streaming at Vanunu’s YouTube.

 

Because we live Orwell’s nightmare the World ignored the State of Israel’s 28 December 2014, response to Vanunu’s latest petition seeking his right to leave the state, as his attorney Michael Sfard wrote on his Facebook Wall:

 

11 year after Mordechai Vanunu was released from prison but placed in an administrative cell made of limitation orders barring him from communications with non-Israelis, the State has notified the High Court he will be allowed to ‘conduct an oral incidental conversation with foreigners, as long as such conversation is a one-time matter, conducted face-to-face in a public space open to the broad public, not planned in advance, and not lasting more than 30 minutes’

 

Spend 30 minutes with Vanunu at YouTube

 

On 23 January 2015, Mordechai Vanunu wrote:

I am ready to leave Israel and not interested to meet foreigners here, I will come to visit all my friends in freedom when freedom come. Freedom Must Come soon or later.

 

Regarding why he quit speaking to The Media years ago Vanunu replied because “everything is already on the Internet.”
