Netanyahu Supplanting Ahmadinejad, a New Noncompliant Defiant-in-Chief...........

“Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sets the tone for Israeli policy-- one that is earning him few friends in the West. Three embarrassments broke for him on Tuesday. First, yet another housing expansion in East Jerusalem was announced while he was meeting President Obama. Then, the cover story of Israeli troops accused of firing live ammunition at Palestinian protesters began to unravel. Then British Foreign Minister David Miliband unceremoniously tossed the Mossad London station chief out of the country for counterfeiting British passports, to be used in an Israeli assassination of a Palestinian in Dubai recently. Netanyahu personally ordered that hit, and is responsible for the forging of real peoples' passports and their use to commit a murder. Netanyahu is the one behind these acts of arrogance, and they are emblematic of his mean brand of politics…….”

Netanyahu is slowly but steadily becoming more defiant of the will of the “international community”, the same community he urges to act against Iran. He is nearly replacing Iran’s Ahmadinejad as the defiant-in-chief of our world. It is becoming harder and harder to pin Iran’s rulers down as non-compliant while he and his extreme right allies are busy non-complying all over the place.
