Netanyahu's embarrassing appearance on American television - voila! culture. Instead of answering difficult questions in Israel, the Prime Minister prefers to present a warrior pose in the US studios.
Netanyahu would rather sit in front of American interviewers with a disposable cup of Duncan Donuts than try to answer questions from serious journalists in Israel. The panel of interviewers did not trouble Netanyahu with questions, and the atmosphere in the studio was of reverence. No studio in Israel would have provided Netanyahu with such a comprehensive and enveloping stage.
