Several disparate points:
1. Like father, like son.
In a speech at the Wyman Institute awhile back, Rafael Medoff recounted how Bibi's father Benzion Netanyahu, then-assistant to Vladimir Jabotinsky, conceived the idea of pitting Republicans against Democrats in a US presidential election in order to gain immigration benefits for Jews. http://www.c-span.org/video/?308192-3/franklin-d-roosevelt-jewish-community
FDR caved.
2. Further along in the video, Bibi tells the House subcommittee that after Iraq is invaded and democracy established, "Iran can be dealt with" by beaming into Iran via that nation's thousands of satellite dishes "TV programming like Beverly Hills 90210 ... Show Iranian young people the big houses and swimming pools and clothes and make them want those things. 'That's subversive,' " Bibi chortled.
The subcommittee and the audience laughed too -- including Ron Dermer, right behind BN's left ear.
Did it register with the representatives on the committee that American children are being "subverted" by those very tv productions, or were they just as dense then as Boehner is now in inviting a serial liar to once again subvert the American people and their children in order to wage a war to benefit Israeli interests.
re: "dissenting from his crazy quilt of equivalencies."
As a quilter and needle artist I have to object to debasing crazy quilts by relating them to Netanyahu. Crazy quilts are highly artistic, finely stitched collections of a family's history and memories.
Speaking of the needle arts and Gaza, I just became aware of the Palestinian History Tapestry Project http://pht2012.wordpress.com
The embroidery work displayed by these Palestinian women is exquisite. Perhaps they could devise the Bibi Buttonhole to silence that obnoxious rhetorician.
