So Democrats in Washington are ticked off at the Israeli government. This is a pretty big turn of events. What exactly was it that pushed Democrats over the edge?
New settlement construction in East Jerusalem?
Nope.
The slaughter of innocent children playing on the beach in Gaza?
Nope. A week later, the House voted 395 to 8 to give the Israeli military $225 million. Many of the Democrats now being hailed for standing up to Netanyahu voted for that legislation, including Rep. John Lewis, who is being praised on the rec list for boycotting the speech.
So what great crime did the Israeli government commit that finally made the Democrats angry?
If you are more outraged by a stupid political speech than children being killed for the crime of playing on the beach while Muslim, there is something seriously fucked up with your value system.
