Would Americans Release Terrorist Killers?


(Commentary) Jonathan S. Tobin - Americans should pause and wonder whether they would ever give a moment's consideration to doing what their government is twisting Israel's arm to do.

How can Americans justify demanding that Israel do something they would never do themselves.
