In an op-ed in the Washington Post on Monday, Lieberman – who was nearly elected Vice President of the U.S. in 2000 – addresses members of Congress and outlines several reasons for them not to boycott Netanyahu's speech on March 3.
Firstly, Lieberman says that the upcoming speech "is about determining how best to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and not just another Washington test of partisan and political loyalty."
Lieberman states that it is "absolutely clear that [Speaker John Boehner] will neither postpone nor rescind his invitation. The prime minister will be there to speak." He therefore appeals to Congressmen who are undecided as to whether or not to attend to go and "hear what the prime minister has to say."
They should go, writes the four-term senator from Connecticut, because "regardless of what you think of the leaders involved or their actions in this case, you are a strong supporter of America’s alliance with Israel, and you don’t want it to become a partisan matter."
Lieberman also notes that Netanyahu is likely to have things to say that will help Congressmen inform their exercise of the powers granted them by the Constitution to “regulate commerce with foreign nations,” “define and punish... offenses against the law of nations,” “declare war,” and “raise and support armies.”

Obviously it's time for Jews to escape the Democrat party!
Democrats have assumed the role of supporting enemies like the Muslim caliphate.
