Congress, Show Respect for Our Closest Ally
(San Francisco Jewish Weekly) Editorial - Yes, it veers from protocol. Nevertheless, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's March 3 address about the threat of a nuclear Iran before a joint session of Congress a go, it's time to put partisan snits aside. Some D.C. insiders continue to dwell on the effrontery of it all. But we're not talking here about North Korea, Yemen or some other medieval dictatorship. We're talking about America's closest ally in the Middle East, the region's only democracy. This country's elected officials should get their priorities straight, drop the partisanship and show at least basic respect for one of our closest allies.
