Translation: Bibi knows the “neighborhood” better than Gates and he refused to take Gates’ bad advice.

re: #1 _RememberTonyC

You nailed it. The US is committed to the theory that it’s all about housing, and those houses are the sole waking and sleeping concern of everyone living in the region.

Still, the dude needs those big donors.

Can you please show me where your source or citation is located indicating where Robert Gates is “courting OPEC donors”?

Linky?

Searching Google with “Robert Gates” OPEC results in one hit completely unrelated to this claim.

re: #3 Gus 802

1. Look up the operating costs of any American University.

2. Look up the job description of a chancellor.

3. You will see that fundraising is a big part of the job.

4. Google Saudi Arabia + donations to American Universities.

5. Don’t nitpick the links, the issue is that OPEC nations give lots of money to US universities.

6. See #2.

7. See #3.

8. Donations come with strings attached. That’s the real world. If you don’t know the strings that are attached to OPEC money, then we’ve pretty much exhausted the conversation.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. I’ve never seen such “guilt by association.” So according to this theory you have delineated here anyone that takes a job at any “American university” is “courting OPEC donors.” This is quite a stretch.

It’s not a stretch. It is character assassination. Good people who are reported to have bad mouthed Israel in a private meeting aren’t allowed to be good anymore. If you believe otherwise your Ideology is suspect and maybe some time in the Gulag will help clear your head.
