"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel telephoned the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and five other influential lawmakers on Thursday and Friday to urge the United States to pursue “crippling sanctions” against Iran, according to Israeli officials and people close to the
lawmakers." Just watch. "Crippling sanctions" will now be the official policy. See why I think that some exaggerate the power of AIPAC? Who needs it when the far right-wing prime minister of Israel can call leaders of Congress and urge them to pusue a particular policy that suits Israel.
