The answer may lie in the fact that the unspoken coalition-partner of any Israeli government is the President of the United States - the ally whose requests Israel cannot afford to ignore and whose red lines it cannot afford to cross.

Afterwards, if we are convinced that a new Iraqi war’s results would not end up in the plus column for life and liberty—or, more chillingly, if we believe that Bush’s unspoken motives for invasion would distort his perceptions to the point that any positive results would be undone—then we should oppose war in Iraq wholeheartedly. But the time has come to leave behind this inordinate attention to the president’s motive and psychological state. For all I care...
