For the last four years, there\u2019s been a national debate regarding the scope of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The issue might end up dominating discourse in 2020 as well. Last month, intelligence officials warned House members that Russia is allegedly meddling<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in an effort to get Trump reelected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concerns about Putin\u2019s impact on U.S. elections has generated countless articles and wall-to-wall cable news coverage. It also fueled an impeachment investigation. However, blatant election interference from other countries is certainly not treated in the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n

This contradiction was on display over the weekend, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed AIPAC\u2019s annual policy conference via video feed. Netanyahu repeatedly referenced Democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders, who skipped the conference and claimed that the lobbying group promotes bigotry. At the most recent Democratic debate, Sanders called Netanyahu a \u201creactionary racist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all reminded a few days ago that there are forces who seek to break our alliance,\u201d said Netanyahu, \u201cLast year, those who came to AIPAC were accused of dual loyalty. This year, AIPAC was accused of providing a platform for bigotry. These libelous charges are outrageous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
