Editorialist Petulance

"Being a Partner for Peace"; Editorial; A28

In an editorial that is loaded like a gun, the dislike is palpable and the tone petulant. 

The fifth and sixth paragraphs are essentially a list of demands regarding settlements, roadblocks, demolitions, the blockade, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and Iran.

The most surprising, and warped, demand calls upon Benjamin Netanyahu to "allow the Obama administration the freedom to pursue its own interests in diplomacy with Syria, Iran, and the Palestinians." 

To suggest that the Israeli government is in a position to "allow," or to prevent the American government from acting is strange and even conspiratorial.
