I have said that one of if not the key factor that will influenece the Israeli decision on Iran is the absence of trust in the Obama administration - this article paints the picture. Is there anything more predicable in foreign policy then, when the naive idealism of liberals runs head on into the cold, cruel realties of the world crowding their brief dreams rounded by a sleep, of how nightmares soon obtrude? Obama treated Israel exactly how every uber lefty has long hoped an American president would - Israel's push back against this misguided belligerence was predictable - and now when Obama desperately wants Israel to trust him on Iran he's surprised by their cynicism? The irony is very bitter indeed.
For me the math here for Israel is viciously simple - if the window is closing for you to act alone on Iran and you have a plan you believe in - if you've decided that Obama cannot be trusted to take care of things should you let that window close - and if you've also concluded that there's simply no way you can live with an Iran that has the bomb - then there's really only one choice you can make.
