A Couple of Insight Articles about Mr. Netanyahu's Visit to Congress in March (or is it February? or April? or maybe will never happen?)

Thanks to G for the first one. I’m just posting a couple of highlights from each.
Dear President Obama: Please Invite Me to the White House During Netanyahu’s Congressional Speech (Daily KOS 1-24-15)

[from An American Jew] “You don’t know my name, though you know the names of those who represent hundreds of thousands of American Jews who, like me, publicly support your diplomatic efforts with Iran… And while you don’t know my name, you know that I and those like me represent 52 percent of U.S. Jews who support your diplomatic efforts over those presented by Congressional Republicans and Israel’s Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who are now shamelessly working in concert, behind your back, to undermine your administration’s historic gains.”
“…Netanyahu often claims to speak for all Jews, absurdly conflating his political ideals with those of American Jewry. But he does not speak for most of us… use this as an opportunity to reveal to the American public that most American Jews see Netanyahu as a harmful force, both in Israel, in the Middle East and in the world.
“The New York Times calls what Israel and the GOP have done to be a disrespectful “breach of sense and diplomacy.” What NYT editors did not say is that this breach is an opportunity, now that the hole is gaping, for you to counter Netanyahu’s voice with powerful ones which exist within the nation you lead.”

U.S. Congress Considers Appointing Netanyahu Emperor of the Republic for Life (Boehner and Netanyahu Conspire to Violate Logan Act) (Johnny Punish VT 1-24-15)

“The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony…
“If a U.S. citizen, as such, [Netanyahu] will be in direct violation of the Logan Act; plain and simple! There is NO way around it! Nentanyahu is NOT a member of the U.S. Government and has no rights to promote and negotiate foreign policy for our government.”
