Mob disruption is a uniquely reliable component of leftist protest. It should not be mistaken for mere over-exuberance; it is the very point of the protest.

Israel, alone, has achieved (and risked, and sacrificed) a great deal. Its fair-weather allies will reap benefits of Israel’s achievements against their common enemies; but they don’t deserve to.

Those whose hatred of political opponents exceeds their hatred for the country’s enemies should be kept far from the Presidency. A party which treats foreign policy only as a means to claw back power at any cost cannot be trusted with America’s own national security interests; how reliable can it be when it comes to Israel’s?
