Obama and Kerry need to understand that Netanyahu is essentially a neo-conservative Republican.

And like any neo-conservative Republican, Netanyahu should only be trusted to try to manipulate and undermine Obama in any and every way, shape and form.

Israel has many political parties, but - unfortunately - the Likud Party is running things, right now. They are doing all of the exact same things that I would expect any American neo-conservative to do, in their situation.

Until Netanyahu is treated as such, Obama and Kerry will continue to be made to look like fools. And their response to Netanyahu's belligerent "don't second guess me" BS was about as weak and foolish as could be, imho.
