#1 Israel can cope with this situation, especially since it continues to receive US military aid, some diplomatic backing, and nice rhetoric about the ironclad special relationship between the two countries.

You realize he's trying to break the ability of future US administrations to provide the military aid and diplomatic backing he's pretending to enthusiastically support?

#2 I mean, I only have to scroll up to see Sec. of State Phillipe Petain saying he wanted to give more money to the Bros but Congress stopped him.

#3 Title is misleading. Point is that Champ is doing less damage to Israel than he is doing to his own country, and to the United States :-)

Not sure I agree, but an interesting point of view.

#4 "the damage he is doing. That damage is first and foremost to US national interests"

That's Bambi's intent. >:-(

#5 It is interesting: and once you accept the premise, what Israel is doing makes perfect sense. Stand tough on the big things, because Champ can't move them and gets frustrated. Yet give on little things so that Champ can think he's gained a victory somehow.

It's how you deal with narcissistic thugs. That's something Israel knows a thing or two about.
