Why I won’t be attending Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in Congress
Washington Compost ^ | 2/26/2015 | Betty McCollum

Posted on 02/27/2015 12:08:08 PM PST by mojito

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the midst of a heated reelection campaign. Yet he is traveling 5,900 miles to give a speech before a joint meeting of Congress on March 3 — just two weeks before Israelis go to the polls. House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), working with Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, a former Republican political operative who renounced his U.S. citizenship, extended the invitation in a clear effort to undermine the president while the United States and its five partners engage in tough negotiations with Iran to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons — a national security priority I strongly support.

In other words, the speaker of the House has provided the Israeli prime minister with a global platform to both attack our president and deliver a campaign message to voters at home.

If anything ever needed to be undermined its the insane negotiations going on with Iran right now.

The left’s true anti-Semitic colors are in full bloom at this point. Does any Republican have the guts to call them out for their bigotry and what they are? Cruz maybe, otherwise no not one.

Lots of Amish in that 4th district.
I wonder how the Jewish population in Edina thinks...

Actually, Einstein’s politics were pretty idiotic, too.

I’m so sorry Congressional representatives whose colleagues in the executive branch have been going over, under and around the rules (oh, and incidentally referred to a nominally-friendly head of government as “a chickens**t coward”) are upset because John Boehner broke the rules and violated diplomatic protocol.

That is OK. You would not understand what the man is talking about. You are an incompetent.

Well, well, well, wouldn’t it be par for the course to accuse her of anti-Semitism, just like conservatives are accused of racism all the time?

“speech before a joint meeting of Congress on March 3 — just two weeks before Israelis go to the polls.”

At best this poor excuse for a representative is purposefully misleading, but it is more likely that she is outright lying.

The fact of the matter is that the “deal with Iran” is due 3 weeks after this speech. Bibi is coming here to address the branch of our government that is about to allow a country to get the tools to destroy his country. As a result, he is begging our Congress for help in making sure that we stand with them as our ally.

I believe Bibi will be well prepared to diplomatically address the runaway and hide democraps ie:

“I’m very honored to have been invited to speak to this joint session of Congress and to those of you who have taken time to attend, it’s very clear to me that those present care as much for the security of their country as I do mine”

Sumpin’ like that.

“Wouldn’t it be easier, and more succinct, for her to simply say: “I don’t particularly like Jews.” “

Don’t hear too much Anti-Semite talk.

Most of Edina is in the Republican 3rd District and there aren’t a lot of Jews in Edina. The suburb’s original covenant excluded Jews.

Ha! "Tough" indeed.

Thankfully a group of Iranians leaked the existence of a secret underground lab making enriched materials, or Barry would have ramrodded this 'negotiation' through, which, it was reported, would have allowed Iran to go full nuke in 10 years.

“Why I Won’t Be Attending Benjamin Netanyahu’s Speech”

She could have explained it in six words:

Anti-Israel.

Anti-Semitic.

Anti-Conservative.

That is true. Unlike you lying, thieving control freak DemoncRATS in this country, he considers the continued existence of his nation to be far more important than his re-election. It is call STATESMANSHIP, which of course you RATS wouldn't recognize if it b!+ch-slapped you in BOTH arses at the same time.

I expect the former combat leader Bibi will have the fortitude to deliver his speech without the presence of this little-known piece of socialist fluff.
