Maybe he’s right but for the wrong reason. Israelis playing rope a dope when they have every right to be smash mouth.
“Israelis playing rope a dope when they have every right to be smash mouth.”
They are in a really tough position. Anything they do to defend themselves will be blown out of proportion; magnified all out of reason. They also have their own vocal and self-destructive liberals. Their stock of these elites (many of whom have double citizenship and homes in other countries) is much higher than ours. Any Israeli government is fragile because of the governing majority rules and the ability to challenge them and throw them out with each new bit of off-balance news. So any government is only hours away from failure. The best way to play the game is probably the way they are doing it. Any other play may cause the government to fall.
Absolutely! The muslims are only in Israel because their Arab brothers want the Israelis to have to either kill them or allow them to kill Israelis, preferably the first option because then Israel gets all the blame.
And of course the world is always looking for an excuse to blame Israel for whatever violence takes place within it's borders. Therefore the muslims are advantaged either way. If the Israelis justifiably fight back they're blamed for killing "innocent" Arabs, and if they don't fight back their own people are killed and they get blamed anyway.
Fortunately for the Israelis, Bibi has the guts to do what's best for his country, a concept that hasn't been seen in the White House since Reagan left the back door open and let in the gutless bunch we've been saddled with ever since.
