To Joe’s summary below, I will only add that this is shameful company in which to find ourselves, on an issue that should be a no-brainer. Our national security on the Syrian front (Russia could invade our airspace at any time and bomb Jerusalem if they wanted) can not be tied to appeasing the imperialism of Putin – you know, the staunch ally of Israel’s enemies, the Ayatollahs and their proxies, and the common enemy of Israel, Ukraine, and democratic Europe.
I can only hope that by the next time such a resolution comes to vote, Israel will have new political leadership that is capable of securing our borders and our airspace without throwing our natural allies under the bus.
