Is It Really So Bad?
About this episode
Gadi and Mike discuss the implications of US foreign policy on Israel and the broader Middle East, particularly in relation to Netanyahu's election bid.
Gadi thinks it is. The US has demonstrated that it will not really fight – unless it’s easy, can be done from the air, and includes very few casualties. That is a bad signal for every rogue regime the world over. Mike thinks the MOU is just a tactical retreat, and that hostilities will resume, eventually. Both, however, agree that it’s a blow for Israel in general and for Netanyahu’s election bid in particular. Then there is also the joke about the skeleton who orders beer.
