Benjamin Netanyahu

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s acceptance of Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to speak before a joint session of the United States Congress is an affront to our President. Netanyahu is coming to criticize the policies of our country, which conflict with his policies in relation to Iran. Such criticism of our country is more appropriately made before his own legislative body, the Knesset. I am also gravely concerned that one of our country’s leaders would issue such an invitation, knowing the purpose of the prime minister’s speech. To undercut one’s president in such a manner is dastardly and beneath the dignity of the office of Speaker of the House which Boehner so carelessly holds.
