Recognize Israel or Take This Deal and Shove It

Rubio Has Just Aligned With Netanyahu In Protecting Israel Against Obama’s Nuke Deal With Iran

(Excellent candidate for POTUS.  I strongly recommend everyone watch Mr. Rubio’s eloquent speech…without a teleprompter.  Of course, Iran would have nothing to with such a thing. – LS)

A writer for Time magazine says it could be a potential “killer” — a proposed change to the bill now being debated in the Senate that would give Capitol Hill lawmakers a big say in whether President Obama’s emerging nuke deal with Iran goes forward. According to the lead paragraph in the Time article: “Sen. Marco Rubio has proposed a change to the Iran nuclear review bill that could unravel a carefully crafted compromise and kill the Obama Administration’s negotiations.”

There are certainly those who would challenge Time‘s assertion that the arrangement contemplated with Iran’s theocratic regime is a “carefully crafted compromise,” in part because it doesn’t include what Rubio wants to help protect Israel. The Republican senator and 2016 GOP candidate for president has introduced an amendment to the proposed review bill in the Senate insisting that any deal contains Iran’s official recognition of Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.

Time notes that a similar proposal was put forth by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been harshly critical of the Obama administration’s concessions to Iran in the negotiations intended to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Obama has previously indicated his opposition to the sort of amendment Rubio has introduced with a passionate floor speech.

“Israel is not just a country,” Rubio said. “It has a special and unique purpose that sets it apart from any other nation on Earth. It was created as a homeland for a persecuted people.”

By clicking on the video above, you can see Sen. Marco Rubio’s speech on the floor of the Senate in which he urged his colleagues to approve his one-page amendment protecting Israel’s future.

    Lessee. In all probability, few would ever employ a teleprompter to watch Mr. Rubio, regardless the eloquence of his utterances.

    Lessee’s #2 & 3 & 4 & etc. Every POTUS since Dwight David has employed teleprompters. What makes you think Rubio, Hillary, Mitt, Cruz, or Bo Peep would be different?

      Lessee #1: Sorry. My writing can be a bit flawed from time to time. I meant watch him speak without a TP, but I think you probably figured that out.

      Lessee #2 etc: Just expressing my appreciation for Mr. Rubio regarding his willingness and ability to address this issue without the aid of a TP. To me, it’s a testament to his intelligence and his passion for Israel. Whereas, our POTUS continues to use TP’s quite often, as so many others have done in the past.

      Your point, sir?
