Israel is about the size of New Jersey in the US. Do you imagine the Governor of NJ has to approve, and answer for, housing construction decisions in his state? Everything seems to be under a microscope in Israel ....... every action criticized, every decision monumental. I find it repetitive and boring.
israel is not a banana republic. what leader says shh, i don't want to upset trump. you can have a different opinion,you take usa considerations into account but you have convictions nonetheless. bibi says allegedly, we must not upset trump.
this is the mindset of a coward, likewise afraid to confront any real adversary with weight. how many times does bibi go to moscow or washington to ask please save poor israel from iran. this is a coward talking-there is no o ther way to say it. this is why he gets along so well with herzog who almost faints when he gives a long speech or who offers concessions the moment a stabbing takes place in jerusalem.
israel needs leaders with some brains and guts. it has smart leaders but short on guts. the idf should be building up its soldiers, not neglecting those who need support.
