I watched Lesley Stahl's 60 Minutes with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and it was predictably patronizing and condescending.
Stahl chided Netanyahu's 2015 speech to Congress as "provocative". No, provocative is when Iran parades our soldiers on state television.
She also claimed that Netanyahu's dealings with Russia and China constituted an "anti-American alliance". No doubt Russia and China are guilty of dubious behavior, but name me a single Western country that doesn't do business with them. To say that Israel is part of an "anti-American" alliance is absolute nonsense.
Stahl went on and on about Israeli settlements touting the line they are an impediment to peace. Netanyahu countered they dismantled settlements in Gaza and were rewarded with 20,000 rockets.
Bibi handed Stahl just fine. He's accustomed to dealing with fools. It would just be nice if the Stahl and those in the mainstream media didn't treat Israel like a pariah state.
