The latest piece to echo this conventional wisdom is in the Washington Post. I like this conventional wisdom. Netanyahu still doesn't seem to get it. They're prevaricating about settlements, and insisting on the Permanent War theory of the Islamic world. There's this gem:
In the context of that history, said Netanyahu senior adviser Ron
Dermer, there is far more to discuss than Israeli settlement
construction in the West Bank.
"My impression is that the number of people who believe that issue
is the difference between peace in the Middle East and war are few and
far between, after all that happened in Gaza," Dermer said.
Scary. I guess he hasn't seen Obama's video to the Iranians. That's what we call… history.
