Actually Netanyahu’s misguided and confused. What he needs to keep in mind is:

“‘Fools rush in where angels fear to tread’ is a phrase which has the ring of an anonymous proverb handed down over the centuries, a pithy apercu whose author and true origins are both lost in the mists of history.

However, this assumption would be quite wrong. We know exactly where ‘fools rush in where angels fear to tread’ originated, and we know who originated it.”
