So his comments represent the US, and don't represent Israel in any way?

That would be a good point if Netanyahu and Yair Lapid hadn't echoed his comments and expressed intent to create greater Israel..

Seems like it would have been more relevant just to quote those people instead.

the goal posts never stop moving huh

[loeg]

They've never moved.

First you were upset that I assumed the American ambassador had any input on Israeli politics (a definitional truth), then you changed the subject and became upset that I didn't quote Netanyahu or Rabin themselves. That's how you moved the goal posts, inventing problems without confronting any of my points on their merits.

[loeg]

Not at all. You quoted an American as if he speaks for Israeli policy; he does not and never did. That's the entire meat of this thread.
