Even AIPAC strongly opposes this.
I would say that Bibi can’t get away with pissing off the American Jewish community forever, unfortunately I think the evidence is that he can.

Tl;dr: to have a functioning liberal democracy, you must have a unified ethnic makeup, racial heterogeneity weakens social trust and decreases a country’s ability to function.
IOW, an out and proud white nationalist is sitting on the 2nd circuit court. Shit.

Tom Friedman gets real:
“I am going to say this as simply and clearly as I can: If you’re an American Jew and you’re planning on voting for Donald Trump because you think he is pro-Israel, you’re a damn fool.”
“The damage of what Trump and Bibi have been up to — formally making Israel a wedge issue in American politics — is already done. Do not be fooled: Netanyahu, through his machinations with Senate Republicans, can get the United States Congress to give him an audience anytime he wants. But Bibi could not speak on any major American college campus today without massive police protection. The protests would be huge.”

I know, right? Ever time I hear how the POTUS is the “leader of the free world” I’m like, the fuck? And I’m fucking American.
I really hate this jingoistic and self-important notion that “America is the best” and everybody else needs to know their role and shut their mouths. (Which as a matter of fact is basically Trump’s foreign policy.)
