Informed Comment | Thoughts on the Middle East, History and Religion: "Now Netanyahu has reneged on his pledge to negotiate in good faith, and has let the settlement freeze expire while making no effort to extend it. In other words, he humiliated the United States and let them know who is boss."

Be done with this nonsense.
