The United States of Zionism

2011

In the following series of articles,
the ones which explicitly validate the title of this post
are those that describe the reaction of the (supposedly) U.S. Congress
to Netanyahu’s 2011-05-24 address to it.
I write “supposedly” because the reaction to Netanyahu’s speech
is clearly more appropriate to the Knesset
than to those who so clearly do not have America’s best interests
foremost in their priorities.
If I were to stick to the title topic,
I would only include those reactions in this post.
But for the sake of some sort of coherence
I have included comments (by others) on some of the substantive aspects
brought up by Netanyahu’s visit.
