Netanyahu and Boehner’s Misuse of Congress Is Hurting US-Israel Effortt to Find Peace.

UPDATE: Because Netanyahu has  taken his politics to Congress, the US will not be able to brief Israel  on the talks with Iran. In addition, Obama’s National Security Advisor is rumored to have cut off contacts with the Israeli National Security Council.

Write your Representative or Senator in Washington, to inform him or her that Benjamin Netanyahu should not be using the US Congress to Campaign for Office in Israel!

This is the first and only time since the ofundng of this nation a representative of a foreign state has had the arrogance to speak to the US Congress on an issue of American foreign policy.  Netanayhu’s speech undermines  the separation of powers in the US Constitution dating back to the very forst Congress.

The speech also has nothing to do with actual  support for Israel.  If anything, John Boehner is undermining the long tradition of support for Israel by his misuse of the Congress as a venue for campaign politics.

As Prime Minister, Mr. Netanyahu has access to many, many avenues for free speech.  He certainly has the right to speak , in opposition to any agreement with Iran over that country’s nuclear weapons.  Speaking to the American people is fair, but not at the expense of our two centuries of Constitutional government.

Here is a sample text:

 Out of respect for the long tradition of bipartisan support for the State of  Israel, I ask that you NOT attend the speech by Prime Minister Netanyahu.  I understand he will be at the AIPASC meeting in  DC and I hope you plan to attend there.

Here is the current list of Senators and Representatives and their plans to attend or boycott he speech.
