Yallerdawg,

With respect Netanyahu may have been playing politics, but by playing to fear of Arabs he has increased the sense of division in the region. Should the embattled leaders in Syria, Turkey, and Yemen now say to their people "We are moving toward accepting ISIS and radical Islam - because if we don't then the Jews will win"? The way Netanyahu won will have consequences for the region and Israel.
