Democrats are playing a dangerous game with Israel by snubbing the prime minister of Americas staunchest Middle East ally.

Four Democratic senators, as well as almost two dozen House members, have already announced that they wont attend Benjamin Netanyahus speech to a joint session of Congress on March 3.

By doing so, they may curry favor with the White House, but they risk sending a dangerous message to Israels enemies especially Iran.

As recently as November, Irans supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned that the only cure for Israel is to be annihilated.

Is it any wonder that Netanyahu considers a nuclear-armed Iran an existential threat to Israels very existence?

Israel is the only nation in the world that, from its inception, has been constantly threatened with extinction.

Its Arab neighbors have fought repeated wars to destroy the Jewish state. Terrorist groups have periodically slaughtered Israelis aiming their attacks at innocent civilians, even schoolchildren.

Last year alone, Hamas fired more than 4,000 rockets into Israel from Gaza. Only the Iron Dome defense system prevented the rockets from killing hundreds if not thousands of Israelis who were Hamas intended victims.

So why on earth have Democrats chosen to pick this fight?

And make no mistake: It is a handful of Democrats who have turned Netanyahus speech into a partisan issue.
