There are a lot of assertions in your post. Do you care to back them up with any factual evidence?
And don’t forget that American pressure, even from an America under a loser like Obama, is a formidable thing for Bibi to have to deal with.
Yes, read the Israeli papers - all of the major ones I mean. Look at the polling. Do you doubt Bibi could have crushed Hamas? Yet he didn't. The Israeli public overwhelmingly wanted him to finish off Hamas and his poll numbers plummeted when failed to do.
If you read my post with any level of thoroughness, you'd see that I said Bibi's decisions may have been wise - but the idea in the West that he is a military hawk is just not shared by those on the right in Israel whom many of us here would identify with.
