This could change things. I had not been considering the impact of the Iran negotiations on the response of president Obama to Israel and Netanyahu. And this may have been a major oversight on my part. I don't know how long it will take to see whether or not that is the case.
Netanyahu is furious about the Iran deal not for his stated reason of Iran being an existential threat to Israel, but because it is an absolute threat to the hegemony that Israel has been allowed in the Middle East, tyranical reign over countries in that area.
If the deal goes through, and certainly it looks as though it will, what does that do to the prospect of full human rights for the Palestinians? How conservative has President Obama needed to be to get this far in the negotiations with Iran? How much of the inaction on his part was due to this?
Although I had lost confidence that president Obama, I had previously been certain that Pr. Obama detests Israel's barbarity as much as I do. I concluded that I was mistaken. Maybe my mistake was in not understanding that these Iran negotiations are his most effective means of boxing Israel in and getting a just resolution for the Palestinians,
