‘Israel sent the world a message last night that it is not headed for peace and change’

Tom Friedman used to say, I know what Arafat’s really thinking cause I don’t read what he says in the English press, I read the Arabic! Well I know what’s really happening in Israel cause I don’t read the American press, I read Haaretz, which says that Netanyahu has demonstrated “a total lack of vision, courage and practical judgment” and the Israeli government is destined to fail. Somebody tell Obama.
