Einav Schiff warns in an opinion column of an approaching political disaster. He describes how the US is considering unprecedented sanctions on Israeli military and police officers due to the failure to address Jewish terrorism in the West Bank, including a ban on imports from settlements and personal sanctions. The writer claims that the Israeli public and opposition are ignoring the danger, and that the US midterm elections could worsen the situation. He criticizes the 'Samson the Poor' syndrome – a combination of a victim mentality and excessive self-confidence – and states that without US support, Israel could deteriorate into an existential danger. The column emphasizes that the warnings fall on deaf ears and that the opposition refrains from presenting the chaos in the West Bank as man-made.
