Smotrich "crashed" the parade they announced
The claim he wasn't invited is nonsense. The Israeli consulate announced it on their website and Israeli media reported it days before. But sure, call it a "crash" while pretending you didn't know he was coming.
This is the playbook: invite the extremist, act shocked when he shows up, pivot to blaming him for the relationship damage instead of taking accountability for platforming him in the first place.
Smotrich was not invited to the Israel Day Parade in New York. He crashed it. He should have stayed away. His extremist views do harm to the US-Israel relationship.
