“Hmmm. I’d say maybe some back channel pressure from their supposed allies?”

I’m sure Obummer is doing everything in his power to keep the “leash” on Bibi. That won’t work forever . . .

Ok. I hope not.

The ONLY thing holding Israel back from doing what it needs to do (wipe out HAMAS, HIZBOLLAH, SCUD sites, all rocket factories, etc.) is the U.S. government. You see, Israel must always (unfortunately) be put into precarious “back to the wall” position, (and then some) before she is “allowed” to strike and do what she SHOULD have done years ago. The US and European allies make sure that Israel has to fight her enemies in a “conflict management” position rather than just eliminate them outright. It's sad actually...
