Wow, simply amazing. None from here in Marxachusetts.
On the one hand, no loss having their worthless asses present.
On the other hand, pound it up their asses forever that they openly declared by their absence that they stand with islamic terrorists.
So what. They are in the minority anyway and will not be missed.
It won’t make any difference to Neyanyahu. He’ll still give his speech ... :-) ...
An honor roll of shame.
WGAS? These dems hate the United States of America. Why should we expect them to support Israel?
I see it is the usual disgusting crew, Communist all.
You can almost hear the media lamenting “Why couldn’t this be Republicans?!!! Such a wasted optic!”.
Weeks ago they leaked to the Israeli press that 60 Rats were “expected” to boycott. Whether they will reach that number I’m not sure but they might.
Higher the number goes, the bigger the price they need to pay for this travesty!
This makes it better for Bibi.
And the dems are too stupid to realize that.
The Israeli electorate generally dislikes Obama and those that stand with him. They realize that the liberal candidates for PM would be standing with Obama....they will like what they see Netanyahu doing before congress... they will reflect on the sort of leadership they need to continue to have.
All good...
That’s 6% of the Congress. Will have zero impact.
Actually I am glad they will not be attending, at least they will not embarrass BiBi or the American people. No booing or walking out causing a distraction to those of us who are not commies!
Jewish Americans who support the Democrats, re register as independents and send a message to the Dems that Insulting the Israeli PM is an insult to American Jews.
Bibi Netanyahu holds a special place of honor for American Jews. He represented Israel for years at the UN, they listened to him defend their ancestral Homeland against the UN who said Zionism is Racism , Bibi lived in the USA when he was young, went to MIT, worked with Mitt Romney.
Israel has voted with the USA more at the UN than anyone else.
The Democrat party has had a lock on the support of Jews, in money donations, campaigning, voting all these years, that I hope will change after the Dems pull out all the stops to show their hatred of Israel.
Bibi is here for one reason, Obama is allowing Iran to get the nukes that they have promissed to destroy Israel with.
4 nukes could destroy all of Israel and its 8 million residents. Bibi will make a strong case for Iran not to be allowed to become a nuclear power. Most of the Arab gulf states are supporting this position because they don’t want Iran to have the power to threaten them either.
Hope they enjoy the cursings of Genesis 2:2O-3. They already embrace their Curse in the WH. So be it.
The ASC! Anti-Semitic Conference!
All should be labeled as self-identified Anti-Semites... Our American Nazis and publicly proud of the title.
