Readers debate the Israeli prime minister’s visit to the United States.
Please do not take anything Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his address to Congress as representing what most of the citizens of Israel think. Polls over the past half-year have shown that he and his governing coalitionof most of the voters in the country.
The White House and State Department should have dissuaded Congress from issuing an invitation to Israel’s prime minister until after Israel holds elections. The residents of Israel are in the streets trying to preserve their own democracy. They deserve to have legitimate representation on this side of the ocean. Netanyahu belongs on trial before the ICC, not on a congressional dais.
His current diplomatic efforts are being undermined by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including in Mr. Netanyahu’s recent address to Congress. Mr. Netanyahu enjoyed a better reception from Congress than he would have from the Knesset. Rather than soberly addressing what the United States’ policies toward Israel have accomplished, lawmakers abased themselves before the demagoguery of a leader responsible for his nation’s greatest intelligence failure and its bloodiest war.
The protesters are not stooges. Rather, they are Americans with an informed conscience, who want to see a permanent cease-fire and an end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.You wouldn’t think Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the angry mob that came to protest him would make the same point at the same time. But that’s what happened Wednesday as Mr. Netanyahu warned members of Congress that Israel’s enemies around the globe hate America just as much as they hate Israel.
