So what should the US do about Israeli? It's too facile to suggest: Do an intervention. In most families interventions don't work with a member who is a serious troublemaker. Besides, what are we to say to Netanyahu: Do as I say, not as I do? That would be hypocritical.

We should continue to do as President Obama has done. Reaffirm our support for the state of Israel; reaffirm that the Israelis are our brother and sisters. And we should set limits with Prime Minister Netanyahu and those who support his positions.

We should continue to support the two-state solution, the "green-line" boundaries set in 1949, and the principles of the Camp David accords.

We should continue to pursue a reasonable nuclear accord with Iran.

We should continue to pursue peace with Israel's neighbors.

We should continue to regard the state of Israel as our brother. Troubled or not.
