In 1875, a jury took 10 minutes to declare Mary Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's widow, insane. A new book from @loisromano revisits a stunning American injustice. https://t.co/IKfNvLYGWE

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

Criticism of Israel and its conduct is fair game. Conspiratorial delusions about Zionism are not, writes David Masciotra.
