If you're wondering why SJP is not banned in the US like similar groups are in Europe...

But we know we are not alone. Many people around the world support us. We will defeat our enemies seeking to commit murder. Not now, not ever," Netanyahu concluded.

Oh, come on! I was actually excited there for a minute that this was going to go in the right direction...

Nothing ever changes. The Americans forcing agreements are delusional and force the signing of unimplementable "agreements" that leave significant holes. The problem is that on the Israeli side, there are people with overblown egos that are willing to overlook the reality just so they can be inscribed in history books, while the truth is that "הים אותו ים, הערבים אותם ערבים".

You must have not glanced at his book/memoir, he is an ardent Zionist who believes only in כוחי ועוצם ידי. I couldn't take it after a few pages. Total כפירה.

Ha! Second person in the past week I heard this from (I haven't read the book and don't plan on). The first: "After reading his memoir, I thought Obama was the most narcissistic politician ever. But then I started reading Bibi's memoir and he is the most egotistical, megalomaniacal dude alive. I couldn't finish it." (for context, this guy reads a ton, like a few books a week, including loads of authors and viewpoint he vehemently disagrees with.)

Could be, but even he should realize how it sounds - he had a chance to truly sound courageous.

19 cars, 6 motorcycles, and a helicopter. The Swedish police must really hate her.

What an asset for Israel to have such great character in their leader, I'm sure it evokes warm feelings and goodwill when he represents his state with world leaders.

What is a honest explanation for all this? Incompetence, malice, anti-Semitism, lack of moral clarity, conflicting puppet masters, all of the above?

Probably not really any of the above. It's rarely what it may seem on its face. Most of these deals plays out as a result of backdoor politics and geopolitical maneuvering that never really make the press until something big happens. Strengthening alliances, trying to weaken existing alliances with other superpowers, tit-for-tat trade deals, concessions to get deals, etc. Virtually every one of these things factors in what it does for us straight up, plus what it takes away from China or Russia or whoever we're competing with position or power.
Freedom of the press is alive at the US Mint.

On a serious note, did anyone else think he was drugged while speaking on CNN yesterday. Never mind the content, the way he was saying things:
