#1 We chose poorly. Twice!

I hope the Juice are smarter.

#2 Given the state of the mid-east and the Persians in particular this may well be the Jews last choice if they choose poorly.

#3 Herzog, if he becomes PM, will try for an early meeting w Obama with favorable optics. So, yes, some people will call that 'lapdogging'.

However, Herzog has stated on several occasions that the really important part of the US-Israel strategic relationship is the ongoing cooperation: intel, military systems, etc. And there is essentially no difference between Herzog and Bibi on the issue of Iran.

#6 The manipulation has been reported in the Israeli media, so if they choose to be manipulated, there's nothing we can or should do.

Well, it's nice to hear that somebody's media, somewhere reports manipulation. In our country the media is a tool that is used by the manipulators. The last thing our media would do would be to report it.
