Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. said Tuesday that he expects to have a continued good working relationship with President Barack Obama’s administration despite changes in the U.S. diplomatic corps. Michael Oren said after delivering the Landon Lecture at Kansas State University that he did not expect much change

Maybe potus is letting out the rope with which to let the zios hang themselves.

One can dream. Eh.

MY COMMENT: Finally I agree with Oren on something, I also do not expect much change in the relationship between Israel and the Obama administration. During the next four years, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be Obama’s “Chinatown”. Like that “nosy fella”* Jake Gittes when he was assigned to Chinatown, Obama will do “as little as possible” regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Expect to see a heavily camouflaged policy of “benign neglect”. “I get burned once, shame on them; I get burned twice, shame on me!”

FROM THE 1974 FILM CHINATOWN:

Evelyn Mulwray: “Tell me, Mr. Gittes: Does this often happen to you?”
Jake Gittes: “Actually, this hasn’t happened to me for a long time.”
Evelyn Mulwray: “When was the last time?”
Jake Gittes: “Why?”
Evelyn Mulwray: “It’s an innocent question.”
Jake Gittes: “In Chinatown.”
Evelyn Mulwray: “What were you doing there?”
Jake Gittes: “Working for the District Attorney.”
Evelyn Mulwray: “Doing what?”
Jake Gittes: “As little as possible.”
Evelyn Mulwray: “The District Attorney gives his men advice like that?”
Jake Gittes: “They do in Chinatown.”
