I was twelve years old or so during the Watergate political scandal and the ensuing political and Constitutional crisis. In my faulty memory, every television set was tuned to the proceedings of the Senate Select Committee Hearings. Somber and serious senators from both parties investigating what had happened and dealing with an obstreperous Richard Nixon.
I haven't viewed Israel as a modern representative democracy ever in the last 50s years. A bit with Menachem Begin, and the peacemakers.
It seems its a controlled militaristic salad of vastly irreconciled minorities. I also think American support while important decades ago, has been a wounding crutch used by Netanyahu et al to avoid solving the Palestinians legitimate statehood.
Imagine if the United States treated Texas or Mississippi or Missouri like the Palestinians.
Nice!

Well said, David. Well said.
