And the US is not alone in facing Iran’s wickedness. Much of the world is. Don’t take Netanyahu’s word for it. Just ask the Sunni Arab states of Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and Qatarthat surround Iran just what they think of a nuclear powered Iran. This is what Saudi Arabia, America’s best friend in the Arab world and not noted for championing matters Jewish had to say about Netanyahu’s address.
Fairfaxlike other media groups tried to torpedo the substance of Netanyahu’s message by quoting what would seem to most readers to be the views of an independent observer, Martin Indyk.

Seeking objectivity on the topic from Indyk is akin – excuse me while I guffaw - to asking a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, for an opinion on Australia’s strikes at the Caliphate-seeking snake called Da’esh.
In an attempt to ramp up anti-Netanyahu fervour, or merely peddle Team Obama’s bigotry (it’s really hard to tell), O’Malley mentioned that:
Mr Netanyahu, who the Republican House Speaker, John Boehner, had invited to address Congress without notifying the White House – a serious breach of protocol – was interrupted by applause over 40 times.

This relates to the well-worn canard of Netanyahu accepting an invitation to address Congress without the blessing of the President.
The extent of the Left’s shameless allegations of betrayal grew to the extent that even the New York Times reported, incorrectly, that Netanyahu accepted the invitation before the White House had been informed of it.
But on 30 January, the Times issued a correction: \
