Benjamin Netanyahu has won battles, but there is no foreseeable end to the war

His performance has been weak but his advantages are many

Netanyahu risks dragging his country and his allies into an open-ended regional conflict

For Benjamin Netanyahu, continuing the war is a matter of political survival, and he goes to America to raise support, not to listen to calls for peace

His sense of his own importance might not be suited to isolationism

War has had its opportunity, and it has failed

A brutal conflict seems unlikely to be winnable any time soon

A substantial and growing minority of Americans hate both presidential candidates

It is time not just for strong words but for serious demands

It should take more evidence to strip the Palestinians of essential support
