More Reax to Israeli Election

++J Street sees the re-election of Bibi as a threat to Israel's Shield--that is America's role at the United Nations to side-track anti-Israel resolutions and to veto more noxious ones. J Street sees the United States going more international in putting pressure on Bibi on the Palestinian issue.

++Fred Kaplan, who doesn't just us WASPs, writes in Slate "Israel Just Lost".Kaplan's point is that Bibi by doubling down on his stance against Israeli Arabs and the Palestinians puts the country into a box. Expect to see the disinvestment movement to become mainstream in our discourse.

++"Bibi Wins,Israel Loses" by Jonathan Alter repeats the themes of most of our op-eds that Bibi took the expedient way but left Israel with longer ,more durable troubles, particularly in the Western world.

++The Imperial Post thinks Bibi brought alot of grief on Israel. But, of course, this makes an Iranian nuclear deal harder?

++What makes the deal harder was that the GOP wants to jump the gun on additional sanctions and this plays into the Iranian hard-liners who can just blame the Zionists and call the whole thing off.

++The United States just took Iran and Hezbollah off the terrorist list. I wish there were objective criteria for both the "terrorist countries" and the "terrorist groups". On both the United States gives them credit for fighting ISIS.
