Bibi will form his narrow, right wing government, and then he`s got to figure out how he`s going to sell its agenda to Obama and the EU.
And what happens if they don`t buy it? What`s his game plan? If there`s a freeze in American aid, can he live with that? What will that do to Israel`s military edge in the region over the long term? The next three years?
Does Bibi think the Jews he went to high school with outside Philadelphia are going to rally around Lieberman and the religious parties? He must know in his bones that they feel lukewarm about Likud, that the parties to the right of Likud, especially the religious ones, turn their collective stomach. These Jews are the U.S. mainstream, not the Orthodox Jews and not the Republican Jews. Does he think they will crawl all over Obama to sell a far right agenda?
Clinton`s missive on humanitarian aid to Gaza, Kerry`s critique of allowing in rice but not pasta, these are only the start. There`s more where that came from. |
