The terrible Obama years when they got more money than ever before and didn't have to give up anything to the Palestinians.
The Trump .5 year where he relayed their intelligence to the Russians.
Yup
It seems Obamas hands were forced, not that he wanted to do any of this.
One of his last acts is quite telling. He was on his way out and he didn't have to fear the consequences and it's likely we got to see how Obama really felt. His relations had really soured with Netanyahu behind closed doors, with him going to congress and counting on the republicans to save him.
There is a similar situation with Saudi Arabia, where you get the sense that relations worsened and broke down and the Saudis hoping that the next president would be favorable to better deals (for them).
As a president, Obama got a lot of flack of having to maintain a military industrial complex based machine, with many pro-Netanyahu's within his own party that made it so he could not back away. It reminds us that a proper presidents power does not (and should not) overstep his party, even if the party is wrong. If Democrats have to change, it has to be an ideological change from within.
You have a young liberal democratic flock of people coming in, who ain't down with this shit anymore, and it's not open for debate for them, or a lot of the extended world that you can have major candidates with friendly relationships with guys like Netanyahu.
And really, it makes a lot of sense that Obama really did not like Netanyahus government, because that is something Senator Obama who ran for president wouldn't have.
The foreign policy actions of Obama probably put him in a lot of spots he didn't want to.
It's said that it was Hillary who was insistent on the rebels on the grounds in Syria and intervening more closely in the proxy war, while he was hesitant and didn't want to get involved.
Which makes sense when you measure the temperament and historical approach to foreign policy on both of them.
Hillary was also a lot more favorable towards Netanyahu and agreeable to him, even though she didn't like the settlements. A perverse hand wavering statement that talks about it being bad, but enabling the people behind the misery caused, all the same.
I hope all the Democrats of that guard, completely abandon the militarization and foreign proxy wars, because it's unacceptable, inhumane and totalitarian.
