The Forward Covers Abe Foxman's Demand Bibi Get New Venue

++ Abe Foxman's emphatic statement saying that Netanyahu find another forum rather than the GOP dominated Congress certainly has resonated. The Forward covered it as an almost papal declaration.

++Josh Marshall explained this today at Talking Points as Abe Foxman is as establishment as it comes in the Jewish-American community and what he says has more weight than even the heavy-hitting donors.
When Bibi loses the establishment, he's lost the battle.

++I found it most interesting that Foxman started off cautiously in his criticism of the Bibi-Bohner ploy and his concerns accelerated as the story spun out of control. When it made the Daily Show with John Stewart, Foxman issued his third and final statement, even citing John Stewart as evidence that this thing had gotten out of hand.
