Mario Cuomo and Zionist terrorism

It would be fair to say that Mario Cuomo was one of the people who showered legitimacy on the ascending political career of Netanyahu, here in the US and Israel. When Netanyahu was an Israeli occupation diplomat at the UN, he convened a conference on terrorism and later published the proceedings in a book ("Terrorism: how the West can Win"--of course it had a contribution by Bernard Lewis). Cuomo wrote a most fawning and favorable blurb for Netanyahu at the time when the former was aiming at the presidency.
