Netanyahu did what he does best. He made a live statement on TV. He accused his accusers of all kinds of misconduct. These scoundrels, he more than intimated, were ready to risk the very existence of Israel, just out of spite against him. But not to worry, he has no intention of resigning, even temporarily.
Looking us straight in the eye, shining with honesty, he promised us that he will not forsake us. Since he is the only person on Earth able to ensure our safety, he will remain at his post and protect us, come what may.
This made me very afraid indeed. Far be it from me to insinuate that he might start a war just to divert attention from his indictments. In a war, people get killed. Jewish boys (and girls) of Jewish mothers. Would a patriot like Netanyahu do such a dastardly thing as starting an unnecessary war just to divert attention?
Surely not. But when he has to make a fateful decision in a crisis, between two meetings with his lawyers, will his head be completely clear?
How long can this go on? Experts assess that Mandelblit, in his desperation, can draw his decision out for a year. He must think. Thinking takes time,
THERE WAS this Polish nobleman who called his Jew and told him: "I love my dog dearly. Jews are clever people. You can teach my dog to speak. Do it. Otherwise I shall kill you!
"No problem," the Jew answered. "But teaching a dog to speak is a very difficult task, It takes time. I need two years."
"Good," the nobleman said. But if you don't do it, I shall kill you!"
When the Jew's wife heard this, she started to wail. "You know you can't teach the dog to speak!" she cried.
"Don't worry," he told her. "Two years is a long time. In two years the dog will be dead, or the nobleman will be dead, or I shall be dead."
