The news out of Washington is: Barack Obama ''says Benjamin Netanyahu doesn''t know what is good for Israel'' Barack Obama sees Benjamin Netanyahu as a 'political coward' whose policies pose a greater threat to Israel''s existence than Iran''s nuclear programme because he does not know what is in the country''s best interests, it has been claimed. My, my, such an old, outdated approach. Very old and very redundant. There was this Who will save Israel from itself? by Moign Khawaja in the Foreign Policy Journal, January 19, 2009 There was this From a January 2005 issue of Harper''s: Saving Israel from itself and way back when there was this: How to Save Israel in Spite of Herself by George W. Ball in Foreign Affairs, all the way back in April 1977 !! Meanwhile, I''d suggest it is Israel that is saving the West, if only they''d let us. ^
