Chickenshit postscript

A dissenter on the chickenshittery of Binyamin Netanyahu, Eamon Murphy, writes at Mondoweiss that Jeffrey Goldberg was wrong to suggest Netanyahu's

reluctance to launch major military operations: a familiar theme for Israel apologists, this was already dubious by Operation Pillar of Defense; in the wake of Protective Edge, the most savage punishment yet inflicted on the much-scourged Gaza Strip, it can safely be discarded.

Murphy is himself reading the information wrong, partly because Goldberg hasn't understood what he's been given to convey.

The War of the Chickenshit

Danielle Pletka for the American Enterprise Institute:

Let’s get this straight: Bibi et al, who have what most would agree is a legitimate and existential fear of an Iranian nuclear weapon, are “good” because they’re, er “chickenshit” about launching a strike on Iran; oh, and Bibi is also labeled a “coward” for having been “chickenshit” in that regard. But he’s “bad” because he won’t cave to a Palestinian Authority and Hamas so riven by terrorism, corruption and incompetence that they won’t “accommodate” with each other.

No, I don't think you have it straight yet.
