JERUSALEM (JTA) — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said in Jerusalem that the Senate will vote on an Iran sanctions bill next month.
Graham (R-S.C.), who is expected to take over as chairman of the Foreign Appropriations Subcommittee when the Republicans assume control of the Senate in January, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli capital on Saturday night.
Graham told Netanyahu that “the Congress will follow your lead” and will want to have a say about any final deal.
“In January of next year, there will be a vote on the Kirk-Menendez bill, bipartisan sanction legislation that says, if Iran walks away from the table, sanctions will be reimposed,” he said. “If Iran cheats regarding any deal that we enter to the Iranians, sanctions will be reimposed.”
U.S. sanctions currently in place target Iran’s energy and banking sectors, as well as any trade that might benefit its nuclear enterprise. Some sanctions have been rolled back, allowing Iran to retrieve about $5 billion of the $100 billion per year that the penalties cost its economy, according to U.S. estimates.
Netanyahu in his meeting with Graham also stressed the Iranian threat, noting that Iran on Saturday conducted an exercise with a suicide drone. He said more and stronger sanctions were required.
“And I welcome your leadership in this effort,” Netanyahu said.
Graham also discussed the possibility of cutting off U.S. funding for the United Nations if the Security Council passes a pending Palestinian state resolution.
“Any effort by the French, the Jordanians or anyone to avoid direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians over the peace process, anyone who tries to take this to the U.N. Security Council, there will be a violent backlash by the Congress that could include suspending funding to the United Nations,” Graham said. “We will not sit back and allow the United Nations to take over the peace process.”
Americans need Israeli permission to run their own country. We are screwed.

Israel is known by the world to have the American congress in their pocket and as a cause of last resort when everything fails with the American administrative government
Craven closeted suck up. Another reason why AmeriKa hates her politicians. Would anyone stop to even urinate on this guy if he was in the middle of the street on fire?
Take a look ? The’ Repukes’, are coming ! You all hated Obama? Wait to get a load of these creeps. This is not your fathers GOP,(sometimes bad enough) ,and they are not called NEO(New) CONSERVATIVES FOR NOTHING! They are purely for Jewish interests. Was not Bush 2 enough ? NOOOO .that horror is forgotten. Well,he gave everyone (but the really poor),a tax cut/stimulis check,and loved .;ma guns’,so he gets a pass….the modern GOP,should be registered as agents of a foreign govermant. Israel.
More treason from Bibi’s favorite sex slave. How humiliating to have politicians who are nothing more than trained monkeys, mindless zombies, sucked dry by Dracula.
The Republican Party is owned by Jewish Multi-Billionaire Sheldon Adelson. Its media bubble;FOX- Saudi Money/Rothschilds Money,and Zionist Agent Murdouck Managment. Its ‘Think Tanks,all Kosher,and its base:Red Neck,and Zio-Christian. Graham is a homosexual,and I suspect much more. He survives politically in the Bible/Military Belt of S.Carolina ,with the Jews powerful machinations. Even his trumped up “VET Status’,..he never seved overseas,and was a glorified clerk,is a Jew creation. He was uped to Colonel in the US Airforce Judge Advocates Corps,by one of Bush 2’s Kosher appointees. Like other notorious Jew stooges in history;Wilson,Churchill Eisenhower,LBJ,Bush 2,etc;Graham survives ,and goes onto power,with Jew sponorship.

Actually, they are all so satanically, masochistically, sadistically perverted they would enjoy it.
They all like to “follow Israel,” but we don’t have to follow them:

I think it’s time to take the Oath of Allegiance to Israel. You already a loyal shill
What a shame on those who elected this person! Shame on all Americans who enable this block to be elected; and what is sad is that he will be re-elected in the next election. The American “democracy” is really sick.
Graham’s an Israeli “bought and paid for cunt”,,,and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I hear Bibi gave Graham a new pair of knee pads for Christmas…I mean Hanukkah!
This is an ultimate insult to the American people… In fact this is the way slaves talk to their masters. If US was really a free country, this so-called senator’s comments would had been printed on the front pages of all the American newspapers…
If US had a real free press & media then everybody would had known how wretch their senators are… We should also blame those stupid & brainwashed people who vote and select these traitors as their representatives and expect miracles from them…. It is shame
