Alan Dershowitz: The Appalling Talk of Boycotting Netanyahu. Congress has every right, and even an obligation, to hear the Israeli leader speak about the Iranian threat.

The Wall Street Journal has an op-ed from Alan Dershowitz:
I certainly would never vote for or support a member of Congress who walked out on Israel’s prime minister.

One should walk out on tyrants, bigots and radical extremists, as the United States did when Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denied the Holocaust and called for Israel’s destruction at the United Nations. To use such an extreme tactic against our closest ally, and the Middle East’s only vibrant democracy, is not only to insult Israel’s prime minister but to put Israel in a category in which it does not belong.
Just a reminder.
