Bernard Lewis |
Among all the
reporting on the Obama-Netanyahu feud in the last three months I have come
across only two articles which explain what is the serious disagreement actually
about. The first was in in Jerusalem Post on November 22, 2014 by Michael Wilner JP Exclusive:
Cornered but unbound by nuclear pact, Israel reconsiders military action
against Iran and the second was in the Washington Post
on Feb 19, 2015 by David Ignatius Why
Netanyahu broke publicly with Obama over Iran
What
does the “sunset clause mean?
- It means the after 10 years Iran will be bound by no
restrictions and will be 0 days away from the bomb.
This is an appalling
neglect of the media to report on what really matters.
Even worse is
the media’s analysis of what would happen if Iran did get the bomb.
Ask yourselves a
simple question. How many times did you read in the world and Israeli
press Bernard Lewis’s
statement - “For people with this mindset, M.A.D.
is not a constraint; it is an inducement... " ?
Netanyahu
must not give in. He has to quote Bernard Lewis in front of US Congress.
