I think this has a lot to do with US interference. As long as Iran is developing nuclear weapons, the United States has enormous leverage against Israel. I do not believe this anti-settler policy is Israeli in origin, but rather based on the Obama administration’s interests. Israel has no alternative to appease the United States as best they can. Bibi has to walk a tight rope between the weak US foreign policy and the conservative groups in his coalition. As the Iran clock ticks, you will see Bibi’s policy become more hawkish in nature and he will act unilaterally when he needs to.
Undoubtedly, but the US is so weak now, nobody is afraid of us, why should Israel be?
Just as an exercise, can you name one unfriendly nation that fears the US?
How about one friendly nation that respects and trusts us?
So what's up with Israel?
Does anyone really doubt the Muslim's plan for every Jew on the planet?
If so why can't I sell 'em the Brooklyn bridge as well?
I just don't get it.
