“why would israel go alone?”
Why did Jews prefer suicide at Masada to surrender to thugs?
Although the dust-up at the WH with Netanyahu ostensibly was over settlements, one wonders whether he didn’t deliver an unequivocal message: “President Obama, you have said repeatedly Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons is unacceptable. We agree and are prepared to launch a military attack to take out their facilities if by date X all other efforts have failed. We could use your help: bunker-busters, intelligence, flyover rights through Iraqi airspace. But if you cannot/will not help, we are prepared to go this alone. We hope you understand that our national survival is at stake.”
Needless to say, the coward in the Oval Office opted to flagrantly dis Netanyahu before the entire world rather than stand strong against an international bully. By so doing, he virtually ensured I’mANutJob will ignore sanctions on the mistaken belief that Israel wouldn’t dare go ahead without U.S. cooperation. This is the price of amateur hour at the WH.
I think their plea today is, no Masada, but Samson.
Perhaps that message is indeed en route right now - by UPS Ground.
