A very important Likud member doesn't like what Netanyahu did:

“Former minister Dan Meridor, an elder of the Likud Party, said he only ‘hopes the Israeli-American relationship will recover from the very serious mistakes being made right now.’

“In an interview with The Times, he said Netanyahu’s decision was ‘an error in every possible way’” https://t.co/5Boy66CA7F

Just for the record, I have copied the troller-in-chief's tweets this morning on topic (he moved on to many more tweets about the economy, trade, China, the Fed, how to sell cars, Denmark, Germany, vets, Kentucky, California car regs., so it was just a passing thing for today, no big deal):

“Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words. “President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world...and the Jewish people in Israel love him....

....like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God...But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense! But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for.

.....all Jews, Blacks, Gays, everyone. And importantly, he’s good for everyone in America who wants a job.” Wow! @newsmax @foxandfriends @OANN

Rep Tlaib wants to cut off aid to Israel. This is the new face the of Democrat Party? Read the AOC PLUS 3 statements on their hatred of Jews and Israel. Check out Rep. Omar (the great people of Minnesota won’t stand for this).

Interestingly, at Fox they are twisting themselves into more complicated knots than that over this:

It's the GOP patriot schtick - "the troops are Republican because Republicans love America", & its various incarnations. Sad that it often works in defying reality.

Eight of ten Jews vote for Democrats. And is he talking about U.S. citizens showing "great disloyalty" to Israel? https://t.co/wBjcHco9f6

Tlaib and Omar have clearly decided to go with beating their drum on this, the opposite of letting it die down:

Omar, Tlaib blast Israel for blocking their visit

The two congresswomen used a rare news conference during congressional recess to try to highlight the situation facing Palestinians under Israeli policies.

Months before barring their entry, Netanyahu wrote a letter opposing Reps. Omar and Tlaib

When ever Maher speaks I usually think, " “It’s predicated on this notion, I think — it’s very shallow thinking." It's great that there's this popular comedian who mostly supports progressive ideas and attacks republicans in funny ways but he's definitely not one of the deep liberal thinkers in America.

In reply to On your MLK comment: sure, he

Yes, he was overall amazingly reasonable - just wanted to point out that he still had to draw out tension & conflict to succeed. Such as the NAACP's painstaking planning on how, when & with whom to carry out the bus strikes. Having a BDS protest diluted because 1 of the protesters is somehow tainted kills the momentum - and of course the other side on that is always looking for some way to dismiss & marginalize any criticism for whatever reason, real or contrived. A big cynical game in the end.
