Back in the Trump Times, Netanyahu was riding high on the knowledge that he would have free rein, and he knew that naming a settlement "Trump Heights" would make Trump drool for him like the dogs did for Pavlov.

Now, though, he was already on thin ice after even the dedicated patriots of the reserves turned on him over his strike against the judiciary, and he is on melting ice after this monstrosity, his claim to stay in power despite his deep corruption because he could keep Israelis safe having been proven grotesquely false.

He also knows that any support will fade in the face of an endless new black hole of dead soldiers and terror attacks if Israel again tries to run Gaza.

Joe knows all of this...and he will not rub Netanyahu's face in it. He will treat him as a partner and a rational actor under the circumstances.

During Obama's presidency Joe was virtually a Secretary of State, trading on his deep understanding of foriegn policy and his ability to get people to see reality while saving face.

We are genuinely lucky to have him and his skill set in place at this time.

"You know, I like the Jews, with the funny little hats. Always have them handle my money cause they're so good at it. Though they don't like me. I don't get it. I am the greatest President Israel has ever seen, but the Jews at home, they don't like me. Their media is very unkind to me. Very unkind. Even the prime minster, he doesn't like me much. He overlooked the massive fraud of the 2020 election. Maybe he was in on it., I don't know, you know how those people are. But I'm here now because I love the Jews. I love them so much that if I were president, which I am, Hamas wouldn't have done this. They know better. They're very smart. They would have known better than to mess with me. If I were president, they'd be building a Trump tower. You know, we make a great pastrami on rye at the Trump tower. But Hamas would have begged me, very smart guys, they would have begged me with tears in their eyes to come and build for them because they know how tough I am. No one tougher. Turn the other cheek so I can punch it too. Says that in the Bible. You guys have a bible. Not like our bible. You left out that part with the guy you killed. But our bible says that..."
