You may recall that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came and spoke to Congress last March at the invitation of Speaker John Boehner.

The White House and supporters of President Obama expressed outrage, and Democratic lawmakers, in their high dudgeon, mounted a boycott. At that time, Obama was trying unsuccessfully to build majority support in Congress for the nuclear deal he had negotiated with Iran behind lawmakers’ backs. Netanyahu’s address to Congress was deemed inappropriate by the bien pensants of the Left, an unconscionable interference in American politics.
