Netanyahu’s Triumph
Jonathan S. Tobin 05.24.2011 - 12:43 PM
President Obama may have thought he could upstage Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s scheduled address to a joint meeting of
Congress by delivering his own Middle East policy speech that tilted
the diplomatic playing field in the Palestinians favor the day before
the Israeli arrived in Washington. Obama’s declaration that the 1967
lines must be the basis for peace talks was widely interpreted as a
challenge to Netanyahu for which the prime minister was thought to
have no effective answer.
But Obama was wrong. Netanyahu’s gutsy decision to refuse to take the
ambush planned by the White House lying down was thought impertinent
by many observers but it was the right decision. Rather than being
cowed by the administration’s pressure play, Netanyahu’s assertion of
Israel’s rights and security illustrated something that his country’s
critics don’t seem to understand: the American people back Israel.
Rather than Obama’s speech overshadowing Netanyahu’s address, it
merely served to increase interest in the prime minister’s remarks.
When Netanyahu arrived in the House chamber, he was given a warmer
greeting than most American presidents receive. During the course of
an eloquent and brilliant speech that laid out Israel’s desire for
peace as well as the threats that face it, Netanyahu was interrupted
with standing ovations from the assembled Congress more than two dozen
times. The cheers were not mere form; they were a genuine expression
of the heartfelt support that huge majorities of both parties in both
chambers feel for Israel. The speech was a triumph that can well be
compared to the applause earned by Winston Churchill when he spoke to
Congress as a wartime ally. It didn’t just highlight the bonds between
Israel and America but the willingness of this Congress to view
Netanyahu personally as a special friend of the American people.
Rather than boxing Netanyahu into a corner from which he would be
forced to accept Obama’s terms, the Israeli will return home secure in
the knowledge that Congress has his back and that he will be able to
withstand the pressure that both the White House and America’s
European allies plan to put on his country. Obama’s Middle East speech
broke new ground but it will ultimately lead to nothing since the
Palestinians will continue to refuse to make peace with Israel. But
the support for the Jewish state that Netanyahu’s speech illustrated
is a fact of political life that Obama will have to learn to live
with. As he did when he outmaneuvered Obama the previous times when
the president picked fights with Israel, Netanyahu emerged triumphant.

 lines must be the basis for peace talks
falso. Tutto il resto, presunto trionfo, collassa di conseguenza

 Congress as a wartime ally. It
Altro che imbecille. Nethanyahu è il PM che serviva a Israele in questa
fase. 
Realistico, moderato, ,solido, determinato.

esattamente quel che prometteva di essere la Livni, peraltro.
Il Likud si conferma scuola di talenti. Begin e' stato un grande
maestro.
BTW, anni dopo Camp David si e' saputo in che modo aveva portato
Carter a piu' moderati consigli. Gli ha fatto notare quante citta'
americane avevano nomi biblici e gli ha chiesto se le avrebbe
abbandonate.
Chissa' quando si sapra' in che modo Netanyahu ha convinto Obama.


#_Ah bagaro'!!!...il tuo typing ti tradisce...Tra le due virgole che hai 
lasciato cosi`vuote di senso, ci metterei tutto un discorso lungo, ma 
potrebbe essere concentrato solo con un "bella facciatosta spudorato"che 
fa un discorso cosi`sfruttando tutte le yarmulkas delle due camere 
USA...altro checcazzi!
