When is a Boycott of Israel not a Boycott?

There are understandable differences of opinion between the American and Israel leaders on the issue of Islamist terrorism. It is wholly appropriate and desirable that they should be heard in the U.S. Congress. It is therefore painful that some honorable Democratic members of Congress should be so misguided as to declare that they will not attend the Israeli leader’s address. John Lewis (Georgia), a hero of the civil rights movement, G.K. Butterfield (North Carolina), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, and Eric Blumenauer (Oregon) are among those who are engaging in what is tantamount to a boycott of Israel. According to preliminary reports, Vice President Joe Biden is expecting to be suffering from a serious unnamed disease on March 3 and therefore may not attend the Congressional event.

Understandable differences of opinion about islamoNazi terrorism? Sure. We understand. Bibi opposes it while Obama promotes, defends and funds it. Pray for Anerica.

Boycotting the leader of our good ally Israel is spitting in the face of a people who have elected him PM several times going back to the Clinton administration.

The NYT says Obama knew Bibi was invited before he accepted the invite and only after did they feign ignorance so as to act aggrieved (a total lie)

Then they talk to Herzog one of the people Bibi is running against putting the election excuse to ridicule.

I see Jew hating Obama who sat in the Church with Farrakhan friend Rev. Wright both Jew haters. Obama helped organize the million man march run by screwy Louie. Obama hates the people of Israel. His people called BiBi a former commander of a commando unit a coward. They are afraid Bibi will force them to put sanctions on Iran.

‘Rats just playing-out their party platform, as they enthusiastically rallied around at a previous convention. This time under cover of a “disagreement” with how it was setup with Boehner and the white mosque.

Understandable differences with Israel, Britain, Australia, India, USA, and Jews and Christians in general.

I think people can clearly understand the difference.

No, just some faux-American leaders.
