Since when does the rightwing prime minister of a tiny Asian nation tell the progressive president of a superpower what to do?

From the Jewish Week's story: "Bibi's Allies on the Hill are Gearing Up to Blunt Obama Moves", which typically lays the power of the Israel lobby off on to Christians, but concludes:

“Anybody who believes this administration will focus on pushing Israel to give back land is probably hallucinating,” [Kean University political scientist Gilbert Kahn] said.

Shades of John Mearsheimer:

[I]f anybody thinks that Barack Obama is going to put pressure on Israel to give the Palestinians a state, they're living in Disneyland
