I hate that Boehner invited Netanyahu - but there's a silver lining

59. We'll discuss the issue again in early March,

when I link the inevitable Youtube video of the bipartisan standing ovations that most of Congress extends to Netanyahu during and after his speech before the joint session. I probably also link to the Congressional reception and comments during the 2105 AIPAC Policy Conference just to emphasize the point.

You also cannot seem to distinguish the near universal and unequivocal support for Israel in Congress (and by the president and in the Democratic Platform) with support for Boehner's tactic to invite Bibi to speak about Iran sanctions. It's entirely unsurprising that some Democrats will defend the White House after the invite embarrassment, most of whom are already in the minority who did not originally support the new Iran sanctions. However, with respect to Israel generally, and much to your chagrin, there is in fact very little light between the positions of Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. No amount of laughable whining about the "hasbara-Likud-Republican line" or the protocol breach of Bibi's speech changes this basic fact.

Nevertheless, I'll inquire once again, how exactly will "hell rain down" upon Bibi and Boehner?
