    Israel is the middle eastern equivalent of Trump’s “I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave” statement.
    The US is so wrapped around their finger our “middle east policy” is simply “don’t let Israel fall”

    Oh, Netenyahu’s saying it openly now?

    I suppose that’s a change to not being open about it in English, but being open about it in Israeli/Hebrew media.

      It was the ambassador who said it openly in English. There’s some debate as to whether that indicates her inability to keep it quiet when flustered or an increased confidence on the part of the Israeli government that they can do whatever they want without consequence.
