In his speech to the joint session of Congress, Netanyahu took a not-so-subtle shot at John Kerry. The Israeli PM went out of his way to be bi-partisan in his speech today, finding ways to praise President Obama and even Harry Reid.
But Kerry came in for a stinging slight when Netanyahu said "last year, the same [Iranian foreign minister] Zarif, who charms Western diplomats, laid a wreath at the grave of Imad Mughniyeh. Imad Mughniyeh is the terrorist mastermind the Hezbollah terrorist who spilled more American blood [at the Beirut Marine barracks bombing] than any other terrorist besides Osama bin Laden. I'd like to see someone ask him a question about that." Wonder just which Western diplomat Bibi had in mind, John? And the gauntlet has been thrown down: do you dare raise the issue with Zarif next time you go for a stroll with him?
