Democrats should boycott Israel's Netanyahu

As a citizen of a secular country I do not want to see a representative of Zionist Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, have the honor of addressing the Congress of the United States against the wishes of the president of the United States, Barack Obama.

Cartoon by Amos Biderman, published by Haaretz October 30, 2014. Biderman explained in a phone interview with The Times of Israel that the cartoon implied that Netanyahu was leading to “a disaster in Israel-US relations on the scale of 9/11,” pointing to the prime minister’s “arrogance” and unchecked settlement construction in retaliation for Palestinian terrorism and diplomacy alike.  Link to article on:  Jews for Justice for Palestinians

I hope many so called LIBERAL Democrats have the moral sense and the decency not to grovel before this war criminal, arch enemy of the Palestinian cause. The common people of America never decided that we should have a SPECIAL relationship with a JEWISH state anymore than we should have a SPECIAL relationship with a reactionary Islamic state. Too many Americans have been slobbering over this nuclear armed menace to peace in the world. Believe me, most Americans do not have a sentimental, indulgent attitude toward this self-absorbed, arrogant, permanent "friend" of the United States. Time to end our cozy and DANGEROUS relationship with this artificial state.

To be sure, the safest place for educated and progressive Jews is right here in the United States. Too many once left-wing Jews have sold their souls to an idol- the State of Israel. Today they are far more "professional Jew" Zionists than they ever were Marxist  Socialists. And they are indeed over-represented in the news media. No, this is not anti-Semitism. It is just the truth.
