You can't be loved for long if you're not feared.
It doesn't serve an American interest. It really doesn't really serve Israeli interests - it serves the interests of the political party that's getting the votes of the settlers on the West Bank.
In light of Jeb Bush`s recent fumbles on Iraq , maybe the Clinton campaign is making the smart move here by not saying.
