House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the White House has "attacked" him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Netanyahu's planned address to Congress Tuesday in which he is expected to criticize international negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
"The demand for seats in the House, the demand for tickets, I've never seen anything like it. Everybody wants to be there," Boehner said. "What I do wonder is why the White House feels threatened because the Congress wants to support Israel and wants to hear what a trusted ally has to say. It has been, frankly, remarkable to me, the extent to which, over the last five or six weeks, the White House has attacked the Prime Minister, attacked me, for wanting to hear from one of our closest allies."

As it will be a moment of vindication for Zionism, the cause to which he and his family have dedicated their lives. In past episodes of Jews’ being consigned by the world to their fate, they were powerless to fight. And so the world (and not a few Jews) became accustomed to Jews’ playing the role of victim. On March 3, something remarkable and historic will happen. The prime minister of Israel, speaking on behalf of not only his country and millions of Jews, but on behalf of the West itself, will command the world’s attention as he declares his refusal to appease the enemies of Israel and the West. Both Jabotinsky and Churchill, both Ben-Gurion and Truman, would appre

Huh. Boehner is playing this pretty well. Surprise.
Any bets on if a group of nutcases will start screaming in the middle of the speech.
Obozo DOESN'T see Israel as our ALLY.
Anyone know what time the speech is set for?
They should ticket the empty RAT seats to allow more public attendance.
I can’t WAIT!
I’ve seen both 11am and 10:45am listed in Israeli press.
Maybe he’ll walk in at 10:45 - not sure exactly.
Will be live on CSPAN, FOXNEWS, etc.
10:45AM
See Boehner, isn’t it nice to do what the people want and get such a huge positive response? Hopefully you will learn from this.
5:50PM in Israel. Primetime for them. (5 minute delay)
Thanks. I’ll be at work, but I guess I can catch a recording later.
I don’t trust half of those people wanting tickets. There will be loud protests. If it gets so bad that Netanyahu has to stop speaking he will know Israel stands alone. He will have no choice but to attack Iran. Possibly with the help of Saudi Arabia.
I say give Biden’s seat to a homeless man.
That's new. Looks like Joe's going to attend.
The security for the event had better be airtight, because both the administration and the other antisemitic Democrat factions are willing to go to any length to shut it down.
Hopefully Netanyahu will be wearing a bullet proof under-suit, and his bodyguards should be on the ball. Until he is safely back in Israel, he is in the gun sights of a legion of crazy fanatics.
