Many are misreading the import of the Obama administration\u2019s latest essay in narrative placement: the \u201cchickensh*tting of Bibi.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is no doubt that the administration wanted to defame Benjamin Netanyahu: to undermine his reputation as a national leader, impugn him and his policies. The administration has been in high dudgeon over Netanyahu and Israel for some time now, flouncing around in impotent fury like Scarlett O\u2019Hara looking for a vase to throw.<\/span><\/p>\n

Team Obama is caught, after all, between the stark realities that keep Israel\u2019s security policy constant, and the constancy of American public support for Israel. Making substantial moves against Israel is a non-starter for an American president; Congress may not agree on much, but on that, it would act with unity and swift purpose \u2013 and the urgent support of the people<\/span><\/p>\n

No form of diplomatic pressure, meanwhile \u2013 no matter how publicly uncomfortable \u2013 is going to make Netanyahu give in on Israel\u2019s security and her hope of a future. Nothing short of giving Israel over to destruction is acceptable to the Palestinian Arab leadership as the price of a \u201cpeace deal,\u201d and Netanyahu will never agree to that just to make John Kerry or Barack Obama happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the Obama administration snipes from the shadows (and puts on passive-aggressive spectacles like the ridiculous shunning of Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon during his recent visit). John Podhoretz aptly characterized an earlier incident in the administration\u2019s series of pokes and jabs as a \u201chissy fit.\u201d What we\u2019ve been seeing is a very prolonged hissy fit; I almost feel a certain solicitude for the psychological effort it must take to keep it going.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earnest observers in the U.S. and Israel are taking it seriously. A policy rift between the U.S. and Israel makes it hard, probably impossible, to confront Iran effectively \u2013 that\u2019s the grown-up sense they are trying to make of it all. And they\u2019re not wrong about that. But they\u2019re behind the train, standing on the tracks as it pulls away in the distance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reality has moved beyond the old touchstones: U.S. power, a \u201cconcert of nations\u201d addressing common security threats, maneuvers to line up \u201cglobal\u201d principles that every nation will feel itself bound to live by. The status quo defined by those characteristics is collapsing. In important ways, it has already collapsed, as evidenced by the utter, unaddressed chaos in Syria and Iraq, and the unaddressed Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoist on its own petard<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This has all come to a head at this particular time largely because the Obama administration thinks it\u2019s a foreign policy to place a narrative in the media about Bibi being a chickensh*t. The posture represented by that form of sophomoric intrigue is deeply irresponsible, morally vicious, and anti-Westphalian, and it has come out in Obama\u2019s policies over and over and over again. The entire world, outside of Western academia and the editorial boards of the left-wing media, already knows that Obama is not an honestly-intentioned Westphalian statesman.<\/span><\/p>\n
