The Voice of Israel has a great 3 min clip from Israeli Ambassador to the U.S.A., Ron Dermer speaking in Boca Raton, Florida on why the Israeli Prime Minister has to accept an invitation to speak to the US parliament at this time. I’m inclined to agree with him.

I also wanted to link to this piece by Jack Englard who was, like most of us, confused about whether to like this move or not. He changed his mind and eventually came to much the same conclusion that Ron Dermer lays out:
Throughout the generations the Jewish people never fared well when they chose silence.
Haunted by Jabotinsky’s nightmare, Netanyahu refuses to be calmed or quieted.
Zeev Jabotinsky was advised to hush up. Don’t make trouble. But he kept speaking against the European catastrophe he saw coming, and it came. This time it’s Iran and Netanyahu is wise to the looming catastrophe from the country that never misses a chance to declare its intentions to destroy Israel…first Israel, then America.
For the sake of Zion, for the safety of the United States, the Prime Minister of Israel must speak, and let the chips fall where they may.
