[From article]
The idea of Jews marching on the capitol made many nervous. Some Jewish Congressmen "did all they could to dissuade the Rabbis from making their bearded appearances in Washington" and some Jewish leaders worked feverishly against the march.
Yet the rabbis marched through Washington D.C. to the gates of the White House, where they had expected a small delegation would be granted a meeting with President Roosevelt. The president was unavailable even thought his schedule that day was open. His calendar listed nothing between a 1:00 lunch with the Secretary of State and a 4:00 ceremony.
Why did the president sneak out the back door of the White House rather than hear the rabbis' urgent request? The rabbis’ pleas conflicted with his policy towards European Jewry. President Roosevelt had been almost silent about the s laughter of Jews in Europe.

From that date in 1943 until the end of the war, 182 of my family members were murdered by the Nazis.

The Israeli prime minister is sounding the alarm about a nuclear Iran, which would transform the Middle East and the world.
Once again, it is a message that some may not want to hear because it conflicts with a goal of making a deal, any deal, with Iran. As those rabbis were reprimanded, Netanyahu is being chided for not following protocol or diplomatic niceties,
