Letter to the Israeli voter: If you reelect Netanyahu, you risk losing the U.S.
The United States is becoming a different country; one that is increasingly intolerant of Bibi's policies.

People sometimes ask me whom I would vote for, were I an Israeli.
The honest answer is that I don’t know because, were I an Israeli, I
would be a different person. As an Israeli, I would likely have
experienced things that I have not experienced living in Boston,
Washington and New York: years of military service, family killed in
war, the anxiety of knowing that, not far away, live millions of people
who wish my country did not exist. I would like to believe that, despite
these hardships, I’d still consider it morally abhorrent and
strategically suicidal to hold millions of Palestinians for almost half a
century without basic rights. I’d like to believe I’d still be on the
left. But do I know for sure? No. I don’t.http://www.haaretz.com/misc/article-print-page/.premium-1.646379?trailingPath=2.169%2C2.223%2C
