Yesterday, as diplomats tend to do, Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren threw a party in his Maryland residence to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, as well as, according to embassy officials, the Israeli-Irish relationship and their respective cultures. Present were dignitaries including Irish Ambassador to the US Michael Collins, Sen. Joe Lieberman, Wolf Blitzer, former archbishop of Washington Theodore McCarrick, and Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley.
Setting aside that St. Pats was two weeks ago, I am disappointed.
