I've Been Thinking:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is off to Europe for a few days. The purpose of the trip is to convince European countries to back off with their support for the declaration of a Palestinian state in the UN General Assembly in September.
It is about time. Israel should have been out lobbying Europe against the declaration since the Palestinians first announced their September plan.
Netanyahu will visit Italy, Hungary, Rumania and Poland.
These countries are not the most powerful in Europe, but they do set a tone. If Netanyahu can secure these countries he will be well on the way to mounting a significant diplomatic beachhead.
Israel has already made serious headway with France, Germany and The United Kingdom. Actually, it was the Palestinians who helped Israel by declaring a unity government with Hamas and the PA.
The declaration with Hamas has made the new PA a pariah in Germany, France and England.
