The US says Israel should dump Bibi. That's kind of amazing.

Political interference is inappropriate. But so is much of what goes on these days.

In a more genteel era, it would have been inconceivable for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to accuse Benjamin Netanyahu of losing his way and call for new elections in Israel, and for President Biden to praise the “good speech” and declare that Netanyahu is “hurting Israel more than he’s helping.”

Wow (and I never write “wow”)! US leaders are basically telling Israelis that they want Netanyahu gone. That type of thing does not happen every day between the US and an ally. Or, more precisely, it never happened.
