Don’t misunderstand me.
I’m not saying Netanyahu wants to give anything away....or that he is a bad guy.
I know I’m arm chair quarterbacking.
Contrary to the opinion of Israel haters and anti-Semites, Israel doesn’t control the US. The US controls the fate of Israel. The US protects Israel from the whims of an Israeli hating World. It’s not about American aid. It’s about blocking the type of sanctions that brought South Africa to its knees.
I can not imagine the pressure Netanyahu is under. The blackmail from a powerful enemy such as Obama must be unbearable.
Still, supporters of Israel hoped he had the strength to stand tall and withstand the pressure. It seems he doesn’t have that ability.
Maybe no one could better.
When Israel has such an enemy in the White House, Israel is in peril- whoever is PM.
No.
Just to scratch the surface: O offers 20 F-35 for 90 days freeze, which is supposed to be the last one. Everyone knows that F-35 delivery is vaporware, and that O has no intention of keeping any promises. The "hardline wing" plays up the demand that Bibi get everything in writing, and with firm lockdowns - and if he doesn't, they'll remove him and get a new leader. Bibi makes the demand to O - which is where we are now. O goes away, cursing and mumbling.
Bibi got trapped by Bill a long time ago, which was a pure gangster assault on Bill's part, and totally unforeseen. What went on at the last hours of Wye is almost unknown, but we have one Freeper who was there just feet from the action. Anyway, he won't get trapped again, probably.
