Israel's response – and there should be a response – should not be proportionate.

I think it's highly probable that Trump will try and withdraw the United States from NATO, and he's already setting preconditions that will justify it.
Look, Trump has said many times, including in public, that he thinks if he has good relations with a foreign head of state, then the United States itself has good relations with that country and the converse is also true.
Now, I have become the latest target in weaponizing the Justice Department to charge those he deems to be his enemies with charges that were declined before or distort the facts.
