Senator Fenstein says Benjamin Netanyhu is “arrogant” to say he speaks for all Jews.

Feinstein (D-CA), a Jewish-American, told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday morning that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an “arrogant statement” when he said he speaks for all Jews in anticipation of his address to a joint session of Congress this upcoming week.

Feinstein said Netanyahu “doesn’t at all” speak for her on the issue of Iran. Democrats have long said Netanyahu’s address to Congress could put nuclear negotiations with Iran in jeopardy, while Republicans and Netanyahu believe the U.S. should increase sanctions on Iran and refrain from engaging in peace talks.

“I think it’s a rather arrogant statement,” Feinstein said on State of the Union. “I think the Jewish community is like any other community — there are different points of view. So I think that arrogance does not befit Israel, candidly.”

    I have to agree with her. But, why her and other Dems not missing his speech? Suckers for punishments?

    A group of military commanders and political observers are furious that Bibi would play
    politics with Israel’s most important strategic asset: its relationship with
    the United States.

    As Netanyahu’s plane was in the air Sunday en route to Washington, a group called Commanders for Israel’s Security, made up of 180 retired generals and national security officials—including three former heads of Mossad—denounced the prime minister’s trip. “The present policy constitutes a destruction of the alliance with the U.S.,” said retired Major General Amnon Reshef, a hero of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, who co-founded the
    group.

    Just to ask the question, why “Jewish-American”?
    Does this make me an “Agnostic-American”? Is Tom Cruise a “Scientolgic-American”?
    Seriously.WTF?

      I’ve chosen to never use the ()-american nomenclature on or for anyone, always felt it was a bad habit from the start.

    ….
    If:
    Soldiers protect the ‘anti-war’ crowd as a byproduct of their service,
    then,
    Jews who are ignorant of their vulnerability are covered by
    Benjamin Netanyahu “speaking for all Jews.”

      What about the Jews who are ignorant of their vulnerability BECAUSE of Netanyahu?

      Bibi is actually putting ALL Israelis in danger.
