I have come to the conclusion after hearing so much :Yes, we would like to stop US aid but… but.. that there is never an easy time, that Israel does not have the discipline to wean themselves off and the so called the "free money" is very expensive, sooo, it should stip now, It's less than 1% of Israel's budget. Financially, it would probably pay back several times over

The United States in turn is pressured by Saudi Arabia whom the United States is still dependent on for oil as well as the Saudi's holding of American debt securities. This mostly goes on behind the scenes.

His actions are puzzling as they do not match his words. If this had happened once, one could overlook it. Unfortunately it has become typical. US' President Theodore Roosovelt is famous for his statement "Speak softly and carry a big stick":. Netanyahu;s actions betray his mantra: yell loudly and carry a twig. You can count on him to ruse the troops before an attack on Gaza and not see it through, not hold parties (Egypt to their agreements), to say nothing when smuggling arms into Gaza not only resumes but carries longer range missles. Instead of saying that there will be no peace until Israel can deal with Hamas, he says we won't talk to terrorists.

All in all, he is a disappointment, a sheep in wolves clothing. He manages to enrage international community without protecting out interests. The bright side are the people coming into government who have no prior connections.

But I guess gringa Frimet Roth, i.e. "Red Frum" will vore for Bennet instead. I may help her in her campaign for Malka, (my daughter's name too) but fascist de-Arabizing parties are not my cup of cardamom coffee. Gideon Sharabi.
