      2. On the face of it, what Netanyahu is doing seems like folly. So it might be worth teasing out why he's doing it.

      3. Nature of Netanyahu's folly is worth teasing out, before we inquire into what's behind it.

      4. America is a superpower, Israel is dependent client state. Clients don't usually tell superpowers what to do.

      5. USA has traditionally given Israel wide sway on the Palestinian issue but not on wider Middle East (i.e Reagan selling arms to Saudis)

      6. Israel has traditionally depended upon a bi-partisan consensus in USA, which Netanyahu's actions are fraying.

      7. Moreover, by trying to humiliate this president, Netanyahu is alienating a major voting block in Democratic party, African-Americans.

      8. So what's behind Netanyahu's folly? I think makes sense if you realize his close ties with American neo-conservatives like Bill Kristol

      9. The strategy of using Congress to overthrow Presidential negotiations one doesn't like has deep roots in neo-con history: Scoop Jackson

      10. Worth remembering that neo-conservatism as foreign policy formation began in Congress as attempt to derail Nixon/Ford/Carter detente.

      11. Beyond strategy of using Congress, neo-cons like Kristol have longstanding desire to polorize USA politics on Israel.

      12. Thinking behind Kristol's advocacy seems to be that if Jewish electorate in USA sees GOP as more pro-Israel, they will move to the right

          13. Like Godot or the Messiah himself, the much-anticipated Jewish move to the right is something always arriving but never shows up.

          @HeerJeet Question is: did similar tactic work in Canada (or work enough for CPC?)

          @HeerJeet Disagree somewhat (slightly?) on this point. Jeet. It's not only electoral politics.

          @HeerJeet There's also the ideological notion that only the right is really prepared to do what must be done to protect Israel.

          @HeerJeet should the fact that Kristol is always wrong about everything give Bibi a pause there?

          @HeerJeet We see that the GOP sees Israel like a shochet sees a chicken: a product to kill and sell when they get their asking price.
