Rosner Is Vibrating the Wrong Way

Shmuel Rosner, formerly op-ed editor at Haaretz, then its Washington correspondent and now of Commentary's Contentions blog and of the Jerusalem Post's blog (and, I presume, a temporary resident of the United States, but for how long?), is now blogging at The New Republic. He gets around.

There, in an anti-Bibi Netanyahu piece, he claims:-

Bibi was a divider, not a uniter. If this doesn't change, he will once again be a failed prime minister.


I have never met or read of a politician who fully succeeded to be a uniter but nevertheless, Bibi's coalition was derisively termed the "coaliton of the scorned" becuase he managed to unite the enemies of Haaretz, Rosner's then paper: nationalists, Mizrachim, Russians, and others.

And now, even before Bibi has had a chance to prove his ability to unite, especially when this country's leaders have proven to be so much more worse, Rosner seems to prove that once you hate someone, you only intensify your hate because hate feeds off of irrational and negative vibes. And Rosner seems to be vibrating the wrong way.
