The Egyptians are voting
today in the referendum. Most probably the Muslim Brotherhood will win. We will
know next week. So who was right on Egypt? Israeli
or American analysts? Almost two years ago, I wrote US and Israeli Analysts Split Over the Egyptian Crisis
It is becoming obvious
that the Israelis were right and the Americans were wrong. But who in
the US will ever admit to this? Who among the politicians
and among the journalists will be taken to account for their idiotic policies
and idiotic reporting? No one. Who is there left, when
the Obama administration supports the Muslim Brotherhood and the media supports
the administration?
Iran will turn into
an even bigger catastrophe for everyone if Israel trusts American
politicians who support the Muslim Brotherhood and journalists who
failed to report on that support. Jeffrey Goldberg thinks that Obama takes Iran more seriously as a threat
to American national security interests than he does Syria. On
the contrary, all the evidence shows that Obama does not understand the magnitude
of the Iranian threat. Unlike the Egyptian
crisis, Israel cannot afford to wait and demonstrate that Obama has
screwed up on Iran as well.
