I've Been Thinking:
It is now a day or so after the summit between Obama and Netanyahu. Now real critique is beginning to emerge.
The Israelis are baffled at how immature the Americans are. One of the chief concerns expressed by Obama is the rising cost of oil and the impact that will have on the gas pump.
In other words, a volatile Middle east means high priced gas at the neighborhood pump.
The Israelis were nearly speechless. How do you even respond? The United States is thinking about the comfort of their citizens, about their wallets. Israel is worried about the lives and deaths of Israeli citizens.
This little example shows just how large the chasm is between the countries, their leaders and their respective points of view.
