More than “three quarters of the U.S. Senate, including 38 Democrats, have signed on to a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton implicitly rebuking the Obama Administration for its confrontational stance toward Israel,” Ben Smith reports.
The letter, backed by the pro-Israel group AIPAC, now has the signatures of 76 Senators and says in part:
“We recognize that our government and the Government of Israel will not always agree on particular issues in the peace process. But such differences are best resolved amicably and in a manner that befits longstanding strategic allies. We must never forget the depth and breadth of our alliance and always do our utmost to reinforce a relationship that has benefited both nations for more than six decades.”

That must be a good initiative on the part of those senators who acknowledge the significant relationship of the U.S. government and that of Israel. They have to do it to maintain civility with their allies.
