On Monday all hell broke loose. Because Levin was in Russia, staffers had to field both the press calls and the threats from outraged donors, constituents, and "pro-Israel" organizations.
Then some real weirdness happened. A top Israeli embassy official came to the office to deliver a protest from Prime Minister Shamir. When Levin's chief of staff, Gordon C.

Kerr then threw him out of the office.

ReplyDelete"So significant was the fact that any U.S. senator had criticized any Israeli policy in any way (albeit mildly) ..."
"And why was a New York Times columnist acting as if he was working for the Israeli government ... ?"
