Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak is the only one quoted in the piece. When Barak says current US-Israeli relations have never been better, he is discounted, but when he says things about Israel’s relationship with Syria, it is treated as significant?
The truth is that Israel’s political leaders often don’t speak in unison, because the government is a coalition, and because of the fractious-but-healthy nature of Israeli politics.
Whether the more cautious (Mitt Romney-like) Netanyahu sees eye to eye with the more left-wing (Obama-like) Ehud Barak on Syria, I don’t know, but you certainly can’t tell from this Commentary Magazine piece, and I suspect it is because the author doesn’t know either.
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
What comes after Mr. Assad?
