'Netanyahu Made Israel's Trumpy Bed. Now They Have to Sleep In It.'

[sop]

(TPM) "As part of his round of media appearances JD Vance was asked today about critics of Donald Trump’s Iran deal in the Israeli government. He said …"

" 'Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.' "

"Just on the facts it’s pretty hard to disagree. This is not only an example of how fast things can change for you in Trumpworld. It is also a perfect illustration of how your own loyalism, your own Trumpiness almost always gets wheeled around and used against it as soon as you zig when you were supposed to zag. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has left Israel marvelously exposed and isolated. And he seems increasingly likely to pay the price for that in October."

"And what is Israel going to do now? Leverage its relationships with Democrats to push back against Trump’s diktats? Good luck with that."

1. Yes, Josh Marshall, I totally agree.

2. Trump was the only American president dumb enough to

agree to Bibi's terrible Iran strategy. Bibi is almost as crooked and a lot smarter than the dotard. But Bibi over estimated his sway over Donald...Trump couldn't be persuaded to launch a ground invasion of Iran.

4. Israel Gov't to D.C.C. "phone has been disconnected"

5. It is not like one person, Netanyahu, made that bed. His coalition government was voted in

over and over and over again. Israeli voters made this bed for themselves -- even to a greater degree than American voters made our own Trump Brand bed, due to the differences in the voting/ruling systems.
