[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re: Netanyahu

 

You know what, Jo?  I think I like the idea of undermining the Obama Regime's attempts to limit Iran's nuclear program, and here's why.

Iran has said they don't want nuclear weapons, and I believe them. Unlike the lying sacks that run this country, they have a record of being straight shooters. 

However, even if they did develop nuclear weapons, how can you blame them?  Look at all countries that the US mafia government has overthrown - all people who agreed to give up weapons of mass destruction, or never got them.  The US would dearly love to topple the North Korean government, but one wonders if North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons hasn't spared them 'liberation'

If you guys were really a progressive organization (instead of being the scum sucking neoliberal opportunists that you are) you'd be aggitating for diplomatic efforts to limit the US and Israel's nuclear programs. One of these countries, after all, is the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons on human targets (civilian targets in a monstrous terrorist act, it must be said) and the other is a cruel apartheid state. 

Just my two cents worth, which is about two cents more valuable than anything that ever comes out of moveon.org.

Too bad you guys never read your mail, because if you did, I'm just certain you'd want to sign my petition:  http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/moveon-should-read-their

Dear MoveOn member,

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress at the invitation of House Speaker John Boehner. It was a breach of American protocol and an insult to President Obama. But more importantly, it was an attack on America's diplomatic efforts to limit Iran's nuclear program.

Netanyahu's influence didn't end with the speech. Immediately after the address, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell attempted to rush legislation that could derail the negotiations.1 And major newspapers across the nation had Netanyahu on their front pages this week, amplifying his assault on the diplomatic talks.2

All told, Netanyahu's presence has supercharged the war hawks' efforts to thwart diplomacy—which is why we need to supercharge our own efforts to create the space for negotiations to work.

So we're hitting the phones, planning visits to key Senate offices, and designing hard-hitting ads calling out Democratic senators by name—if we can raise the funds to do it.

Can you chip in $3 to ensure that President Obama's approach to Iran—not John Boehner's or Benjamin Netanyahu's—has a chance?

Yes, I'll chip in.

Together with allies, MoveOn members' efforts so far have helped preserve the diplomatic process. Key Democrats have halted McConnell's anti-diplomacy blitz.3 But this success amounts to only a temporary reprieve. 

Now, we have three weeks before a potential vote could derail the nuclear talks once and for all—three weeks to solidify enough Democrats behind the president that we can give diplomacy a chance.

Diplomacy is a delicate balancing act. We can't know if these talks will succeed—but we do know that we can't afford the alternative: another Mideast war. We need to give the talks the time and space to succeed.

When Netanyahu spoke to our Congress, at the invitation of Speaker John Boehner and without reaching out to the White House, he attempted to slam the door on diplomacy. Members of Congress have heard from him—now, let's make sure they hear from us.

We have three weeks to make the case for diplomacy louder and clearer than the case for endless war. 

Can you chip in $3 to support a diplomatic process and defeat the fearmongering of John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and Benjamin Netanyahu?

Yes, I'll chip in.

Thanks for all you do.

Jo, Brian, Jadzia, Anna and the rest of the team
