What action has Obama done that can be seen as "sabotaging the next guy"?

Dershowitz has argued that Obama's Israel decision from just a few days ago constitutes just that. He went on a round of TV interviews to explain his view.

He asserted that, yes. He didn't really do much to explain his view, other than just repeating that it was "revenge" and "pique". Do you agree with his assessment, and can you provide reasoning for it?

Haha I can't believe Im getting downvoted for the comment. Classic hacker news.

Anyway, did you read the article? He's kicking out a bunch of ambassadors and closing down diplomatic outposts in a way that will be hard to undo.

Russians only one ambassador in the US and rarely more than two in the US (the ambassador to the US and the permanent representative to the UN.)

Zero ambassadors have been expelled.

That's a thing he did, how can it be seen as sabotage?
