Netanyahu and the US Congress

Great piece on Israeli PM Netanyahu's address to the US congress.
Deals with Iran's rising power and nuclear program, Israel's paranoia and challenges faced by Obama in shaping the US foreign policy. Can be useful in a class discussion about the notion of balance of power.

and then Jon Stewart's hilarious but eye opening take on it.

    Thanks for bringing this up in class Rida! Just read through the Times piece - they really were scathing in their criticism of Congress on the Israel issue. Thank again :)
