Israel - America Alliance Still Solid

I learned recently that former Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu graduated from an American suburban high school out East before he and his brother were called to action in earlier Israeli wars. (Google if interested, no reason to link.) Just a trivial Sunday morning share.  Here's a read too.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted the director of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) Director Nadav Argaman on Sunday for issuing a rare public warning sounding alarm bells that the current atmosphere of incitement could lead to tragic bloodshed in Israel.

 

Without mentioning the Shin Bet head who he appointed by name, Netanyahu complained of a double standard in which critical statements by figures on the Right are considered incitement, while those of the Left are seen as legitimate.

Netanyahu said a fine line must be drawn between incitement to violence, which he said was unacceptable, and freedom of expression that is not incitement. He complained about the closing of Facebook and Twitter accounts of critics of the government that is being formed to replace him. 

 "We are witnessing the worst election deception in the history of the state," he said.
