    There’s no ‘getting caught’. They’ve been doing so publicly before, and they’re doing it publicly now.

    I think what upsets him is that their long-term vision of Israel is a right-win illiberal middle-eastern theocratic kleptocracy, and he prefers a neoliberal technocratic imperial republic.

    He’s not, like, a GOOD GUY, but I think in this instance his enemy is my enemy, and I think he’s being pretty frank and sincere.
