Netanyahu: Despite allies' advice, Israel will 'make our own decisions' on security

Fine. Then make those decisions without our military or financial support.

"Following meetings with the British and German foreign ministers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed at Wednesday’s cabinet meeting that Israel will make its own decisions and do whatever is necessary to protect itself, even if it is contrary to the advice offered by its allies."

Like parents of a bad teenager, we will "pay" for the repercussions of Israel's "mistake", just like we did last Saturday.
Look at the aid package that's going to them.

I read that Israel won't retaliate until after Passover. So, we don't need to worry for a week.
