Bibi Netanyahu is a bigger liar than Donald Trump. He would never voluntarily give up the Golden Goose that is US economic aid to Israel. He's pandering to his ultra-nationalist base, which doesn't care if he's a criminal, so long as he pretends to be their he-man, go-it-alone criminal.

That's one reason wags say scientific progress proceeds one funeral at a time. The rigidity and narcissism of the dominant personality leaves the environment, leaving niches for other species to grow and prosper. Until the next one arrives.
