That's what the Israeli press has been saying about the visit with Obama and the speech at the AIPAC conflab.
Sure, he had his moment of glory. His AIPAC cheerleaders didn't miss a cue for a standing ovation. He pushed all the predictable buttons. Played the holocaust card to the max.
WE ARE LIKUD AND WE PEDDLE FEAR!
Standing ovation!
Only Likud can save Israel from a world of Hitlers.
Well, it sells at the AIPAC conference but it doesn't sell at home.
The consensus in Israeli media is that he totally overplayed his hand. Obama didn't sign on. Netanyahu came home looking like the over-reaching political opportunist that he is.
And that's not a bad thing.
