It seems the Israeli prime minister, due primarily to electoral considerations, is determined to act like a wrecking ball. On the eve of Israel’s election, Netanyahu is insisting on damaging Israel’s most important relationship. His grip on power is shaky, and he’s acting like someone who has nothing to lose.
Warnings were sounded from the moment Speaker of the House John Boehner, together with Netanyahu and his ambassador to Washington, Ron Dermer, concocted this anti-Obama address to a joint session of Congress, and these warnings are coming true every day.
If Netanyahu were a responsible leader, he would never have gone so low as to engage in a frontal confrontation with the U.S. president.
Instead, he would have made sure to forge an alliance of interests with Obama based on mutual understandings. Then, surely, he would have been able to exert significant influence over the negotiations with Iran, whereas his speech isn’t expected to have any influence at all, aside from destroying Israel’s relationship with the United States.

Folks here should understand that Haartetz is a newspaper that is as left-wing as they come. It the Israeli version of the New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times combined. Don’t expect any intelligence or insight from their editorials.
Oops. That should be Haaretz.
Bibi is trying to salvage something from the wreckage of the ties that the Sultan in Washington has shredded.
“...he (Netanyahu) would have made sure to forge an alliance of interests with Obama based on mutual understandings.”

This is just one of many delusional statements contained in a totally ridiculous article.
Obama is playing for Netanyahu’s opposition in Israel. That’s what all the complaining from the White House is all about ... it’s to provide sound bites for the opposition in Istael, in the manner you see written up in this article.
The unfortunate thing is that it’s playing well for the political opposition in Israel.
Lying leftists-—can’t live with them and can live without them.
They got that exactly 100% backwards.
