      10. We should acknowledge that the status quo in the occupation isn't static: it means building more settlements, more "facts on the ground"

      11. The problem with a status quo position is that that there are real pressures, real social forces, that make status quo untenable.

      12. As Obama rightly noted, there's nothing in current Iran status quo, even buttressed by bombings, to stop Iranian nukes. Only slow down

      13. Status quo of occupation: untenable not just because of demographics but also settler violence & inevitable international isolation.

      15. Politically, Netanyahu has done well by selling a program of security based on comfort provided by status quo.

      16. But however politically successful Netanyahu's program is, strategically it is self-defeating. The status quo won't hold forever.

      17. There's an interesting tension between Israel's military/intelligence elite (which realizes status quo is precarious) & political elite

      18. The impact of Netanyahu's own actions show why status quo policies are untenable.

      19. To oppose Iran deal, Netanyahu has opened up unprecedented rift with sitting POTUS and alienated Democrats.

      20. So in pursuit of the status quo, Netanyahu has had to disrupt the status quo, in ways that harm his country's long term interests.

          @HeerJeet and so the more we hold on to the status quo the faster and harsher the consequences will be.

          @HeerJeet This explains why the theory that his strategy is about maintaining the status quo is most likely wrong. Too obviously illogical.
