Some Democrats are planning to boycott the speech Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to deliver to Congress in March on the basis of false charges. A phony narrative has been ginned up, alleging that “protocol” was breached in the invitation, and that the White House is justified in shunning the PM of our closest ally, the only Middle East democracy.
Ed Lasky was among the very first to point out that the White House was indeed notified of the planned invitation before it was issued, trashing the narrative that protocol was violated and the president cruelly blindsided.
Now, writing in Israel Hayom, the largest circulation newspaper in Israel, Richard Baehr points out the falsity of the second part of the agitprop narrative:
The second myth was that the president's problem in meeting with Netanyahu had to do with the short time frame between the date for the speech to Congress and the upcoming Israeli elections. The initial invitation date was February 11, five weeks before the Knesset elections (subsequently moved back to March 3 to coordinate with Netanyahu's AIPAC visit). Former President Bill Clinton met with then-Prime Minister Shimon Peres in 1996, even closer to the date of the upcoming Israeli elections. At that time the Israeli prime minister was directly elected, as opposed to the system in place today, where the elected prime minister represents the party that wins a large number of seats and can put together a 61-seat majority in the Knesset. Peres' visit with Clinton was probably worth more, given how well-liked Clinton was in Israel. (emphasis added)

Why are democrats taking marching orders from Odumba$$? Democrat congress-critters are U.S. citizens and represent U.S. citizens. Democrats need to start acting like who they are and stop worshipping stupid, skinny, snarly Odumba$$.

Because he’s the one who hands out the stuffed envelopes...
I love this because Democraps are showing their true colors, that they are nothing more than Islamo-Nazi supporting Jew haters. So who are we to complain? Let them dig their own grave, let every Democrat Jew in this country see exactly what they voted for
Wasn’t it Chris Wallace who told Shep Smith that Netanyahu was “wicked” for doing this? He needs a front and center apology forced by Brit Hume if by no other means or a “six month suspension.”
Democrat congress-critters are U.S. citizens and represent U.S. citizens.
Now where ever did you get that idea?
Got that from my high school Civics class in the 50’s.
I wish someone would organize a march on DC to welcome Netanyahu.
Democrats represent blacks, union goons, criminals, dependent women, anti-semites, and illegals...
That just goes to show you how seriously outdated your education is. I bet your 1950’s civics book even still included something called “the Constitution “ too?!?!!!? Ha!
The 50’s, that’s so old skool...
I mean 65 years ago??? Really...
This was an idea put forth by another Freeper, if it was you, please step forward an claim it, it a great one.
All the Republicans should sit together, on one side of the isle, and all of the seats of the absent Democrat should be left empty.
The statement made by the empty seats would not be lost on the viewer. The Dems would make raise holy hell at the hutzpah of the Republicans for doing such a thing, and most Americans would eventually see the picture of the empty seats.
The boycotters are anti semites to a tee. They belong to the party of hate.
That is indeed a great idea, and a very free, obvious , easy, no brainier, maneuver.
And the clueless idiotic, stupid, clueless, morons that are the republican leadership will never in a million years have the, intelligence to figure it out for themselves, or in a million years, listen to us .
No, they will roll up in a ball and end up apologizing for it before it’s all said and done, you mark my word.
The Democrats boycotting are Al Sharpton clones (I.e., anti-Semitic Blacks), far left-wingers who support anti-American/anti-Israeli causes, and Administration hanger-ons (e.g., Joe Biden). Obama knew where to go when he wanted support.
Great idea, but the MSM would never allow that image to be shown on TV.
Invite Clint Eastwood to attend and sit on the main floor next to an empty chair. His popularity is at an all time high and would certainly shine a global wide light on the miserable action of the democrats.
There is no pushing back on demoncraps, you need to stomp on them like the roaches they are, just tells it; like you sees it.
The republicans respond to dems in weakness; with all the political correctness they can muster; the dems respond with no holds barred ridicule, contempt and hatred...they win every time.
Wonder how many news networks will decided to skip the speech?
