You know, Netanyahu just went up a notch in my estimation. He pretty much means, in a campaign you say anything to win. Then, the campaign is over, back to business as usual.

I respect the truth. Maybe we aren't as sophisticated and worldly as the Israelis, and Europeans. We take our politicians at their word, and then watch as they do exactly the opposite, but we call it "pants on fire" and act all innocent and naïve.

Netanyahu doesn't bat an eye.

Grow up, America. Nudge-nudge, wink-wink.
