Netanyahu rushes to Washington fearful of Iran US nuclear agreement

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu urgently moved up his seventh planned visit to the White House since Donald Trump began his second term.

The pair declined to hold a press conference with speculation widespread that the two allies are scrambling for answers after their recent failures to topple Iran and its popular and democratic Islamic revolution of 1979.

From the clear Iranian victory in last year's 12-day war, with its unprecedented successful strikes on Israel, to the thwarting of recent protests, which the Israeli spy agency Mossad openly boasted of joining, to an American military buildup in the Indian Ocean, which analysts say isn't nearly enough to intimidate Iran.

  Netanyahu rushes to White House as Iranian leverage grows

  The leaders of the United States and Israel met once again at the White House to discuss Iran.

Many say it's time for Israel and Washington to give up their efforts to destroy modern Iran.

The West needs to stop harassing every country, from Venezuela to Cuba and Iran is included in that.

Different countries (that) have a different way, different systems; they should be allowed to, you know, have sovereignty.

There's no doubt that Iran is one of the very few countries that has really, you know, sacrificed for the Palestinian cause.

I hope more countries join in that, and I think Iran deserves more countries backing as well.

  Over 300 US rabbis sign petition to boycott far-right members of incoming Israeli administration

  More than 300 US rabbis have signed an open letter, vowing to block extremist members of Netanyahu’s cabinet from their communities.

Protests against Netanyahu were led by 'anti Zionist Jews', which is a group that is often ignored in the United States and which often faces violent harassment in Israel.

We always stand out there with the help of the Almighty.

We gather from communities, from New York, from Canada, we come from all over because we want, we plead with our president, President Trump, that he should not be intimidated.

He should not be conned by Netanyahu.

As our signs are so clear in stating that Iran is the home of the Jewish people, respects Jews, and Judaism, has been our safe haven, for literally thousands of years we've been living there.

And they are not the enemy.

The enemy is Zionism and the "State of Israel."

  Top Jewish figure to Press TV: Iranian Jews, like other compatriots, have duty to vote

  A senior Jewish figure tells Press TV that Iranian Jews, like their other compatriots, have a national duty to take part in elections.

My own maternal grandfather died in the Holocaust in Terezin concentration camp, and I'm not going to honor his memory by being silent while, in my name and with my tax dollars, Israel is continuing to kill and push out the Palestinian people in their settler project to take over all of Palestine.

  Iran’s security chief warns US of Israel's ‘destructive role’ ahead of Netanyahu visit

  Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has warned Americans to remain vigilant about the “destructive role of the Zionists.”

Netanyahu may also have rushed his visit to try and overshadow the gigantic pro-revolution and pro-government demonstrations in Iran commemorating the 47th anniversary of its popular revolution.

Netanyahu has led Israel to attack seven Muslim majority countries in just the past two years.

Many say that's proof that he's only interested in undermining peaceful diplomacy and pushing even more war.
