 No, he is not doing everything right. He is dooming Israel. He has made enemies with most of the world, which sees Israel as an extremist terrorist state the threatens the world and needs to be put down, just like Islamic State needs to be put down, for indeed the same reasons... the fact that they are terrorists without restraint on the use of power and without regard to non-Jewish human life, without respect for national sovereignty or international rules (like consulates) assassinating anything anywhere. This is more dangerous than the extreme Islamists, and more dangerous than Hitler who did not have nukes.

I feel sick about the innocent Jews in Israel that will suffer the backlash of these horrific acts of terror, and I recommend that they leave Israel for the time being at least.
