Boehner's invitation is an intrusion into the politics of a sovereign nation - Israel. Netanyahu is a caretaker prime minister. Elections are scheduled for March 17th - one month after Netanyahu has been invited to speak. I do not counsel Israelis on how they should vote. However, I'd be very upset with a foreigner trying to prop up a candidate who has a good chance of being thrown out by his electorate. |

Do you remember Clinton sending operatives to Israel to try to shore up the Labor Party there? You don't find Obama's bitching about building apartment houses in East Jerusalem intrusion? You don't find all Kerry's numerous remarks intrusion?The Democrats are a little bit pregnant. |

Do you remember Clinton sending operatives to Israel to try to shore up the Labor Party there?I thought Clinton over-reached then. It did not do Ehud Barak any good. You don't find Obama's bitching about building apartment houses in East Jerusalem intrusion? You don't find all Kerry's numerous remarks intrusion? There's a difference between interference in a sovereign country's elections and declaring what US policy is. Obama and Kerry have not changed their changed their rhetoric when Netanyahu called for elections. They have stated the same message before and after. If Boehner believes the House of Representatives should make a foreign policy statement, the proper course would be to invite the next Israeli Prime Minister after he is installed. Inviting the present Prime Minister, while an election campaign is in progress is interference in Israel's election. |

US policy has been to interfere in Israel's sovereign affairs since Day One. |

We send billions in aid and copious American blood to much of the world and they spit in our face.And I doubt you mean it in this way, but I find the popular conception that you buy and own Jews with money deeply offensive. |

I find the popular conception that you buy and own Jews with money deeply offensive.Agreed. But it has nothing to do with Jews. The US has certainly expected various quid pro quos from the support it has given the UK and West Germany in past decades as well. |
