There is nothing that an Israeli official will say on American TV that he/she won't get away with, no matter how absurd. When Netanyahu was rising in Israeli (and American) politics, he appeared on one TV news show. He elaborated on his fascist concept of war on terrorism. The host asked him: but how will you reach an agreement with the Arabs? Netanyahu told him--I kid you not, as I was watching: I am very popular among the Arabs. My last book on terrorism was on the best seller's list in Amman (as if they have best seller's list of Amman). The host only nodded his head in admiration.
