Animosity Is Poisoning a Strategic Alliance

Jonah Goldberg: “[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu said that there would not be a two-state solution on his watch if he were re-elected. Netanyahu’s point was merely that given the current circumstances in the Middle East and the disastrous experience of handing Gaza to Hamas, it’s unlikely we’d see a two state solution anytime soon. But even if you were inclined to read something more nefarious into his remarks, Netanyahu has since modified – or ‘walked back,’ as they say in diplomatic circles – his statement. Too bad, says the White House. Bibi said what he said. ‘We cannot simply pretend that those comments were never made,’ McDonough told the crowd at J Street. … [T]he notion this White House can’t pretend Netanyahu didn’t say what he said is simply hilarious, particularly given that what Netanyahu has said isn’t what the White House is pretending to hear. Of course, no informed person believes the White House is angry about how Netanyahu won re-election. It’s angry that he was re-elected at all (unsurprising, given that Obama’s political allies worked to oust him). Obama detests Netanyahu and is letting that animosity poison a strategic alliance. He is making that choice while pretending he isn’t. That’s what he does.”
