If President Trump believes that he can appeal to American Jewry and divert the sympathy many American Jews feel for the Democratic Party, by enlisting Benjamin Netanyahu to bar entry into Israel of two American Congresswomen, I expect that he is in for a huge comeuppance.
United States citizens who prize democracy, separation of powers and the rule of law, including citizens of Jewish ancestry, will be appalled by Mr.Trump’s outrageous breach of tradition, blatant display of intolerance and his contempt for a co-equal branch of government. This unholy maneuver will not stand but will inflict great damage to Mr. Trump’s re-election prospects and to Americans’ esteem for Israel. It may well be the death knell of the Republican Party if its officials fail to condemn this travesty.
