Let it not be said that Edelson didn’t do some good in his life. He donated many millions to educational and medical programs and helped advance initiatives in the US and around the world for decades. So he gets a minimal amount of credit from me for that.

But the bad that he helped to unleash through his political involvements, in the United States with the GOP and in Israel with his considerable and even game-changing support to Netanyahu, was so monumental that it will forever overshadow the good throughout time.
