1. Why should Netanyhau decline if HE WAS INVITED?
(01.25.15)
Unlike Peres who visited the US to win votes? The Left are getting desperate and looking for comparisons when it's like apple and oranges.
2. hypocritical left-wing media didn't criticize Peres then
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (01.25.15)
In contrast, Netanyahu is not going to Washington as an election ploy. In fact it may hurt him because of all the criticism. He is going because he was INVITED by the leader of Congress & because Obama is too arrogant & stupid to take Israel's concerns about Iran & is intent on signing a dangerous deal that will give Iran the ability to make nuclear weapons.
3. #1 - invited? Not without an agenda
ggg ,   Tel Aviv   (01.25.15)
Ten to one Netanyahu pushed for that "invite". He's never been one to miss an opportunity for self promotion. The whole thing stinks, but it's a stench to which Mr Netanyahu has become so familiar that he can't smell it anymore. Had he any sense of shame, or loyalty to the people of this country rather than himself, he would acknowledge that the game is up and back down, but that would be like hoping for eternal youth, or some such thing.
4. Why Shimon Peres did same and not a peak out of the Media mo
Ben   (01.25.15)
Netanyahu was INVITED all the rest of the media and the salivating liberal media can howl and bark to their heart's content
5. Leftist agenda is deadly for democracy, world and Israel in
(01.25.15)
particular, so of course they can shove it: Go Bibi, go!
6. the Iranian issue doesn't scare me
Michael   (01.25.15)
as much as the media's ridiculous cynicism on Bibi's motives. The fact that the media has completely ignored the purpose of his trip is more frightening. The fact remains if Bibi would have rejected the Congress's invitation, I'm sure the left and YNET would criticize him for that as well. What objective reporting
7. There was no urgency in Peres's trip but there is in Bibi's

8. #3, agenda is Iran
