Suggested message
As a pro-Israel, pro-peace American, I'm deeply concerned about Prime Minister Netanyahu's upcoming speech to Congress.
Bipartisan support for Israel is critical, and we can't risk undermining that strong tradition to serve narrow political interests--whether Prime Minister Netanyahu's hope of boosting his standing before the Israeli election or Speaker Boehners aim to undermine President Obama in the midst of a debate about America's Iran policy.
That's why I think this speech should be postponed unti after Israel's election. Then, I look forward to an Israeli prime minister of any government being welcomed with strong bipartisan support in Congress.
