    To manage such a radical shift of talking peace to the former Arab “enemy,”... the Labor government in Israel began, from 1993 on, to identify Iran to its supporters in the US as the new existential “threat” – in place of the former threat of the “never-changing Arab inability to reconcile” with Israel.

    If that was their game plan, they goofed big time; especially if they intended to market that in the US!  Al Qaeda (Arab) turned out to be the US "existencial" threat, NOT Iran.  In fact, the US and Iran coincide in Al Qaeda being an enemy.  Serves them right that those chickens are now coming home to roost!!
