CHEERS TO DANIEL PIPES FOR PROVIDING THIS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN INFO

(1) On Bibi Netanyahu, thank you for amplifying the lingering questions about Bibi's melting backbone in resisting a deadly new Arab entity next door to Israel. I had my own questions about whether Bibi would stand up to his own statements, that another Arab State adjacent to mini-Israel would be a mortal threat.. I recall with disappointment, that Bibi caved in the last time. Now, Dan Pipes has filled in all the blanks.... and more. So I still wonder at Bibi's commitment to decline any similar offers from the White House and pressure from the Obama Government, clearly hostile to Israel, despite Obama's pre-elecftion waffling! Obama appointments have since election, displayed a clear antithesis to Israel's security, and if Bibi Netanyahu does not stand fast, Israel may pay a heavy price in Arab hovering threats.

(2) Also helpful was Dr Pipes' previously unnoted info about Hillary Clinton, and her latent unconcern with the security of Israel, threatened from Gaza, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, et al. . Hillary the politician always, gained much from the women's movements in New York and elsewhere; which saw Hillary as "one of us girls." But Hillary is anything but "One of us girls." She is a canny politician weighing her options carefully; and now we are able to see, by her latest moves to fortify the Gaza enemy of a Jewish State, that the faith in her willingness to stand by Israel for its critical security needs, is as worthless as most political promises at election time. Hillary is NOT merely "One of the girls." . As exposed by Dr Pipes, Hillary is to be trusted the same as Former President Ronald Reagan, warned, "...Keep your enemies close, but keep your friends closer."
