Imagine if tables were turned, how would Netanyahu respond?

Israel needs young blood in power, someone who wants peace & understands Palestinians deserve a home too.

If Trump's pick for Israel ambassador is confirmed, the stances the USA has held though republican & democratic presidents will be turned upside down.

I guess that will hold true for many stances, domestically & internationally.

Thinking about Trump in the Oval is very stressful.

Let me get this right.

Israel is angry because it wants to keep settling the West Bank and in doing so acts in a way that the US strongly disagrees with; and then feels entitled to US protection to keep doing so in the UN security council?

Isn't this the same Israel which deliberately humiliated the US Veep by unveiling its latest plan for settling the West Bank just prior to his visit in 2010?

And the same Israel whose leader sought to undermine the current US President's authority by involving the President-Elect in the decision of whether to veto the anti-settlement motion, or not?

I wonder why Netanyahu is surprised. Isn't it obvious that the status quo doesn't fix the problem? Isn't it obvious that the US would feel angered by Israel's presumption of protection while being goaded? That Israel's actions towards the Palestinians wouldn't be feasible without US protection? That he miscalculated?
