It was revealed this week in Washington, DC, that the speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, had invited on his own the head of a foreign nation, in this case Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, to address the House on the need to impose further sanctions on Iran, on top of the existing ones already in place. The White House was not informed of this action, and replied that it will not meet with PM Netanyahu at that time, as it could send a signal of support for Netanyahu's re-election bid in March.
This is my problem.
I just don't feel it is right to invite a foreign head of state to address the United States House of Representatives without consulting the President first. Period. We all know what Israel wants. They want to be the only country in the Middle East that is nuclear. It doesn't matter that it is for medicine or power, no nuke for anyone but me.They along with India and Pakistan haven't signed the Nuclear Non- Proliferation treaty (only ones on the globe, even Iran signed it), and Israel already has at least, according to CNN and Wikipedia, 80 warheads.
But the arrogance of the Republican Party to put their golden boy from Israel center stage, to directly counter all the effort and work done by this administration and Germany and Russia among others is a disgrace, and also shows just how much Israeli politics are becoming, or better yet, have become central to this country's direction in world affairs.
Is something's wrong with this picture, or am I just an anti-Semite?
