He certainly is entitled to tell the U.S. whatever he wants. But telling your single strongest ally and benefactor to the tune of $2 billion dollars a year to “fuck themselves” is pretty stupid. Israeli history is full of Prime Ministers who lost their coalitions because they didn’t properly manage the U.S. - Israel relationship.

Yes. But history has a dearth of US Presidents who have put Israeli PMs in a position anywhere near as complicated that Netanyahu now finds himself in.

Accept Obama’s demands — huge consequences.
Reject Obama’s demands — huge consequences.

This is not a simple time.
