Whatever his motives, Netanyahu has achieved what no Israeli leader ever has: not only infuriating the US president (who was already quite angry with him), but also earning the public rebuke of people who would normally have supported any Israeli leader, whatever they might have thought in private. If an Israeli prime minister cannot even count on the backing of a man like Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, he is in trouble.
不管动机如何，内塔尼亚胡实现了以色列领导人从未实现的东西：不但激怒了美国总统（奥巴马此前对他便已相当不忿），还收获了公众的千夫所指——许多人不管私下里想法如何，通常情况下总是会支持以色列领导人的。如果以色列总理连反诽谤联盟（Anti-Defamation League）全国主管亚伯拉罕·福克斯曼（Abraham Foxman）的支持都无法获得，那么说明他有麻烦了。
