Thanks for putting the bigger context of the meeting that distress so many people across the political spectrum and for sharing your insights and knowledge of world events in politics

I am totally unsurprised that beyond misrepresenting Netanyahu’s “lecturing” of Obama (like Zelensky, he was defending his country from people who didn’t understand it), and doubly unsurprised that this doesn’t mention why Netanyahu was defensive (Obama shafted him by accepting absurd Palestinian demands a day before Netanyahu arrived, just as Trump did to Zelensky).

The irony of it is that Ron wants so bad to critique Netanyahu that he will misrepresent events he was in the room for, despite them being on video and reported on by the actual political officials involved (as Michael Oren explained on his Substack about this very same incident), ignoring the similarities between Netanyahu and Zelensky instead…

I'm looking for the restack comment button for that truth-telling comment treasure, so many seemingly rational people afflicted with one if not all three of the derangement syndromes but here the Netanyahu derangement syndrome is flagrantly flaunted as objectivity be damned and pointing to Netanyahu provoking the ever reasonable All American native son Barack Hussein Obama

Just stopped by to say you’re an idiot. Keep posting though. Everyone should learn that you’re an absolute idiot.

>Netanyahu needs U.S. backing to contain Iran in much the same way Zelensky needs it to contain Russia.

Not really. Israel is a more powerful country than Iran, but Russia is a more powerful country than Ukraine.

A complete misread, some issues of concern but none you touch on
