This morning CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed PM Netanyahu on the big news from yesterday, the revelation of the secret evidence of Iran’s nuclear weapon’s program. And as you might expect, Cuomo was defensive of Obama’s Iran deal in his line of questioning, which Netanyahu handled very well.
But the line of questioning that really got me was when Cuomo started grilling Netanyahu about Israel’s nuclear weapons program.

Cuomo treats Netanyahu as if he’s hypocritical for being unwilling to reveal that Israel has its own nuclear weapons program. How ridiculous! As Netanyahu clearly pointed out, Israel isn’t threatening the annihilation of anyone. Iran, on the other hand, is not only doing just threatening the annihilation of Israel, but funding much of the terrorism that already happens in and around Israel. Iran is the terrorist country here. Sheesh.
