Those previous times seem like they were special occasions for celebration, not back stabbing your president. Inviting a foreign dignitary to appeal directly to congress is a breach of the constitution.

Israeli hate is so great on here by most, they ignore Iran's previous threats of causing the extinction of Israel. But don't even question Muslim indifference to ISIS and the rest of the extremists by the overwhelming majority, you will be labeled a racist and Islamophobe. But most of these same people show the hate towards Israel. Hypocrites all.

I'm not American but from what I understand, John Boehner inviting a foreign leader to address congress without asking the president first is a huuuuuuge no no and has never been done before. It's a slap in the face to the constitution and a slap in the face of your president. Any foreign leader who partakes in using a platform leveraged on disloyalty and borderline treason to further their political agenda should have their alliance reviewed. Boehner crossed a line which may have landed him in the gallows a 100 years ago.
Just to educate you then, foreign leaders have addressed Congress before on invitation, bypassing the sitting administration.
"The left is up in arms about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing a joint session of Congress without coordination with the White House.
Foreign dignitaries have addressed a joint session of Congress on dozens of occasions: French Ambassador Andre de Laboulaye (May 20, 1934), to mark the centennial of the death of the Marquis de Lafayette, and Cuban Ambassador Guillermo Belt (April 19, 1948), to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Cuban independence after the Spanish-American War in 1898. Pierre Trudeau, prime minister of Canada."
These are but a very few of the many times this has happened, often without any coordination with the White House or State Department.

There's only one possible way Israel can get that big. The world has to become smaller, because there's noway they're going to rule over 7 billion people and convince them the "promised" land is theirs.

Yeah, bit out of order really...
Hey, look on the bright side...
At least it wasn't the USS Liberty.
You should think of them Souls everytime you come on here and defend Israel.
Not just you, all Americans.

I don't think that has ever happened when the intentions are to disrupt and interfere with Peace negotiations though...
Maybe it has...
Someone else set precedent???
I wouldn't mind a source for that, thanks.
Peace negotiations? Iran wants peace? News to me. Please explain. I wouldn't mind a source for that.
Then why did Iran bomb a US warship mockup last week? edition.cnn.com...

No. You obfuscated the original talking point. We were talking about Iran never threatening to destroy Israel. You failed to prove it. I succeeded in proving they didn't.

He's doing that to appease his critics back in Israel.
Nothing else.

Oh, you mean just like Obama does when he praises Israel and Netanyahu.
