Former Mossad Chief Meir Dagan has been harshly critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on several occasions in the past, but today he warned the premier is taking “intolerable” risks with his US policy.
Dagan said Netanyahu had caused Israel “heavy strategic damage on the Iranian issue” by antagonizing the Obama Administration, saying his planned visit to DC is “doomed from the get-go.”
Dagan went on to warn that the US was getting so alienated that the “veto umbrella” Israel has long relied on to get away with flouting international norms in the occupied territories could disappear, and Israel would almost certainly start facing international sanctions if that were the case.
Dagan is said to be the main speaker at a major anti-Netanyahu rally scheduled for March 7. He was also critical of the latest Gaza War, saying it hadn’t accomplished anything but given Netanyahu a chance for “getting photographed with maps.”

“latest Gaza War, saying it hadn’t accomplished anything
Not so, for it has greatly increased the ability of Israel to keep the Middle-East terrorized, which has greatly increased the profit in trading Western bombs for oil. For back to Europe will greed driven Israel go, when peak oil has come and gone.
The sooner we stop feeding this parasite, the sooner we'll be able to attain better relations with 80% of the world.
This is the best thing to happen to the U.S. – Israeli relations. The public can finally see that the Israeli Prime Minister is dicating policy to the U.S. Congress and most Congressmen's only response is to genuflect.
