Bibi's Betting on The Wrong Horse

I'm in the states right now, and it's bedtime rather than almost morning here. I've been having a wonderful time bonding with my cousin and his family after spending a week with my sister and hers, plus a different cousin and daily visits (except Shabbat) to my father.  I wish I could tune out of what's happening in Israel, but I can't.  Here I have use of a computer a few hours a day, since I get up early and go to bed late.  I know that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu does not read my blog.  (Though, Bibi, if you do, please find a way of letting me know...)  

Do I waste my time and typing by blogging everyday?  Sometimes I really wonder, but then I hear from a reader who tells me that I've put into words what he/she feels but can't verbalize.  Usually these messages come just in the nick of time.

Today, just a few minutes ago, I saw the latest Dry Bones, and Bones got it right again, bulls eye for sure.

And then I saw this headline:

A Dangerous Game But Netanyahu Still Betting on Palestinian “No”

If I was a "teeth-grinder" I wouldn't have any left to eat my fruit, nuts and salads.  Bibi is not playing smart. He's underestimating the opposition which a chess player like himself should know well is a recipe for defeat. One should never ever underestimate your opponent.

• He may be smarter than you think.
• He may make that smarter move unintentionally. 

...and then you're stuck.

"Checkmate, you've lost," G-d forbid.  

Bibi, wisen up; time's getting short.  This isn't a game.
