Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave an impassioned speech at AIPAC yesterday. He talked about why Israel is important not only to Jews but to freedom loving people everywhere. I agree.

CQ Politics has an interesting story (a very interesting story) about California Democrat Rep. Jane Harman being caught on an NSA wiretap.

She was allegedly overheard agreeing to a quid pro quo with a covert Israeli agent.

It will be a shame if this turns out to be true and ends her career. Harman is one of the only reasonable democrats left.

Barack Obama gave a speech to the powerful pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Council (AIPAC). Predictably, he pandered to the crowd by taking a hard stance on Iran.
