2. I am very much pro-Israel

Including being completely on their side in terms of allowing them to defend themselves when someone is digging invasion tunnels into their country.

That said, the phrase being used by Politico implies that Democrats, by their very nature, should be loyal to Likud. That their failure to applaud Netenyahu in his transparent attempt to use the United States congress as an audience for a re-election speech, is somehow a "revolt".

Let me state for the record that I disagree with such an assessment. I find it offensive, actually.

Israel is not Likud, and vice versa. And I think that cheap election year ploys should not be rewarded.
