MSNBC guest Ian Bremmer on Katy Tur suggests that European countries should ban #Israel from Eurovision, make it difficult for Israelis to travel to Europe, and engage in similar practices to isolate the #Jewish state. His idea is that doing so will turn voters against Netanyahu, thereby at last breaking the far-right stranglehold on government power.

I humbly suggest that Mr. Bremmer doesn't know shit about Israel or Israelis. If you want to push voters straight into the arms of the right wing, make them feel like the world is against them.

If you want those voters to abandon the Bibi and his ilk, stop rewarding Hamas for terrorism. Make it clear that Europe stands behind a two-state solution but only after Hamas capitulates and the #hostages have been freed, and only after Israel's government puts meaningful effort into building a foundation upon which a two-state solution could be implemented. Offer Pal recognition as an ex post reward for peace, not an ex ante capitulation to terror.
