Radio host Rush Limbaugh has waded into the debate on Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit, comparing the Israeli Prime Minister’s treatment to racially charged incidents recently in the news.

“You look at how Obama has treated and does treat Netanyahu, you would think that Netanyahu was a white policeman from Ferguson, Missouri,” Limbaugh said. “I mean, that’s the conclusion that you would come to. Or that he was one of the cops that choked Eric Garner, or he was one of the jurors in the Trayvon Martin case.”

Netanyahu addressed Congress for 50 minutes on Tuesday concerns his country’s worry over Iran and the United States’ possible plans to change the ban on Iranian nuclear projects.

Limbaugh voiced his concerns that the president and his administration were damaging relations with Israel by distancing themselves.

“I find it despicable what this regime is trying to do with Netanyahu. But it makes sense; I know who they are. They don’t like Netanyahu,” he said. “This administration’s foreign policy apparatus: Israel is the problem, just like in the rest of the world the United States is and has been.”

“The fact is,” he continued, “Obama is a footnote in history if the media hasn’t continually lied for him.”
