To the Point
Netanyahu, Israeli extremists and America’s Jews
Liberal Jews are outraged. Even AIPAC has broken precedent, criticizing Netanyahu’s political allies in his effort to maintain power.
Prime Minister Netanyahu faces criminal charges weeks before Israel’s next election. To maintain support in the Knesset, he’s embraced a racist fringe party that’s been called a “terrorist” group by the US Department of State. The consequences for American politics are deep and potentially long-lasting.
Also: Michael Cohen calls his former boss a “racist,” a “con-man” and a “cheat.” Can a convicted felon be believed?
