Stand With Netanyahu

Democrats in Congress are boycotting the speech.  Vice President Biden says he has other engagements.  President Obama refuses to meet with the speaker.

What is this, CPAC?  A tea party rally?  Hardly.  Here's what over a dozen Congressional Democrats are staying away from:  Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, will speak before a joint session of Congress on March 3rd.

Why do some Democrats feel the need to boycott this speech?  Because John Boehner invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to come without consulting President Obama, who has been increasingly unsupportive of Israel.

The America-Israel relationship is fragile right now. Benjamin Netanyahu needs to make his case directly to the American Congress and the American people -- because he is not getting much help from the White House.

Hear out Israel's leader...  This is about determining how best to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and not just another Washington test of partisan and political loyalty.
- Former Sen. Joseph Lieberman

On the other hand, former Senator Joseph Lieberman urged Democrats to attend the speech in a Washington Post editorial entitled Hear Out Israel's Leader:  "Go because you know that Israel is one of our closest and most steadfast allies and you feel a responsibility to listen to its leader speak about developments that he believes would threaten the safety, independence, and even existence of his country, as well as that of our closest allies int he Arab world."
