Tim Kaine Latest To Boycott Bibi

++David Harris Gershon, frequent contributor to Tikkun, writes in the Dailykos that Time Kaine is boycotting Bibi's speech, bringing the number of Democrats to 40. He says this number will grow before Tuesday's speech. I tend to doubt it.

++But his assertion that Kaine is boycotting is important because Kaine is on the list to be Hillary's Vice-Presidential choice. If he thought this would cost him politically, it is not obvious.

++Yesh Atid's party leader, Yair Lapid, said that Bibi has zero chance of changing the outcome of the nuclear talks and will lose the Democrats, almost fifty percent of America. He said,"This man should not be Prime Minister.

++Bibi said before departing Israel,"I respect President Obama." He voiced confidence that the ties between Israel and the United States would remain strong.
