Netanyahu seems to forget that most of the world feels the West Bank settlements are a crime. The fact that the US sat on its hands doesn’t change that worldview

Although there are some people who have called for it (I am not one of them), including some Jews, it may be worth noting that so far President Obama has given no indication that he would consider as a parting and ultimate “Up yours” to Netanyahu recognition of a Palestinian state, despite all the provocations to do so.
As far as I know, with the exception of Taiwan, which is its own special case, given that it asserts sovereignty over the entirely of China, once given recognition cannot be revoked. Again, as far as I know.

They’re not settlements, they’re colonies. Jesus effin’ Christ I’m sick of the euphemisms.

One wonders if Bibi’s seemingly limitless capacity for hypocrisy can be stretched enough to ignore the escalating outbreaks of antisemitism under the Trumpher.
“And,” a cynical voice in my head answers, “he’ll probably just rationalize it ‘the ones who don’t take it as a sign to immigrate to Israel are Kapos who have it coming to them.’”
How many times did Bibi really think he was going to be able to stunt and get away with it? I mean really, we’ve always supported them, both covertly and overtly. I’m glad the outgoing Admin reminded him just how much we effing do for them.

So do I have to look forward to an odd troika of deplorables in 2017 – Trump, Putin, and Bibi?
