Netanyahu: No More Talks Until Threat From Iran Is Lifted

I am going to steal several links from Hot Air in a row. As embarrassing as that is, the stories are too big to pass over.

Do something about Iran, President Prissypants.

The new Israeli government will not move ahead on the core issues of peace talks with the Palestinians until it sees progress in U.S. efforts to stop Iran’s suspected pursuit of a nuclear weapon and limit Tehran’s rising influence in the region, according to top government officials familiar with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s developing policy on the issue.

“It’s a crucial condition if we want to move forward,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon, a member of the Israeli parliament and former ambassador to the United States. “If we want to have a real political process with the Palestinians, then you can’t have the Iranians undermining and sabotaging.”

You will not be shocked to learn that President Prissypants thinks the way you beat Iran is by conceding everything to the Palestinians.

Yes, that's the way it works: Confirm that a strategy is successful by surrendering to it, and then wait for that strategy to be abandoned. Because, like, it's too successful or somethin'.
