Jonathan Pollard's Release: See, Obama Really Is Israel's Friend

As we've seen, there has been lots of contention between President Obama and Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, mostly over the issue of the Iranian nuclear deal. It if weren't for the fact that the nuke deal is so serious, and has the potential for such far-reaching implications, it would actually be quite entertaining watching these two.

President Obama's deal with Iran is the best we could do, because any deal is better than no deal at all--at least according to President Obama.  But Netanyahu maintains that no deal is better than any deal, especially this one, which Congress has a little over a month to vote on.  Since the signing of the premliminary agreement, we've learned several things about the deal, and none of them are very good.  Clearly, all of this wrangling over nukes and Iran has intensified the friction between Obama and Netanyahu.  It's also clear that President Obama is feeling...well, maybe a little guilty about this deal.

But despite his awful behavior, he's been lucky. He keeps getting slapped on the wrist for his behavior--he's never even been to a youth detention center. Uncle Oscar, like everyone else in the family felt that it was just a matter of time before this kid's actions would either land him in prison, cause serious harm to someone, or worse.

So, Uncle Oscar, believing that he had a way to change the boy, offered his nephew an incentive that most everyone thought was not only unbelievably generous, but unwise.  Uncle Oscar told his nephew "If you'll behave yourself, I'll give you the keys to a new car".  A few weeks passed and Uncle Oscar learned that his nephew hadn't been behaving.  He joined a gang, hadn't been to school
