Caving into Iran is a major priority in Washington nowadays.
Netanyahu has an election in front of him and Boehner must have gotten a lot of money from the “Israel Lobby” supporters to have invited Bibi to speak in the first place.
Their money must not mean a thing to Feinstein, who appears to be a lackey of Obama who is hell bent on cutting a deal with Iran.
The love affair between the “Israel Lobby” and the Democrats goes back a long time to 1956 when Eisenhower got tough with Israel and then Senate Majority Lyndon Johnson took the side of Israel for the money and votes.
Bibi spoke to joint sessions of Congress in 1996 and 2011.
I think he’s due for another appearance now 4 years later.
Even if the Iran issue wasn’t extremely urgent now, which it is.
‘’The love affair between the ‘’Israel Lobby’’ and the Democrats goes back a long time...’’

That’s why, of the 53 current Democratic Senators plus Socialist Bernie Sanders, nine are Jewish — Richard Blumenthal, Barbara Boxer, Ben Cardin, Dianne Feinstein, Al Franken, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, Ron Wyden, and Brian Emanuel Schatz.
Yet the senior member of the Jewish Democrats whom the ‘’Israel Lobby’’ bought and paid for in order to support Israel — Diane Feinstein — is leading the pro-Iran, anti-Israel faction in the Senate on the Iran sanctions issue, and her fellow ‘’Israel Lobby’’ benefactors are most likely in her corner.
This is beyond ‘’highly inappropriate.’’
The lowest circle of Dante’s hell is occupied by traitors who, according to Wikipedia, ‘’are distinguished from the “merely” fraudulent in that their acts involve betraying a special relationship of some kind.’’ That is the very definition of what Diane Feinstein is doing by stabbing her pro-Israel benefactors in the back by denouncing a visit to Congress by the Israeli prime minister.
And Dianne Feinstein herself is the very definition of an evil old yenta.
