Attacks by Jewish extremists and a mealy-mouthed response from Netanyahu undermine Israel’s ability to prevent new sanctions against settlements, to restore relations with key partners, and to show Israel cares about Christians. Instead of denouncing and combating the attacks, he has consistently downplayed them, even before last weekend.

He took that approach during his UN speech last month, saying a “handful of juvenile delinquents” cause “maybe two or three dead” every year, while Israelis in the West Bank face thousands of terrorist attacks.

What could he be thinking?

Hmmmmm I wonder what Netanyahu could be thinking.....
