Writing for Times of Israel, David discusses how USA’s presidents take riskier actions in their last couple of months in the office of their second terms.
He puts this in terms of Obama and Kerry’s abstaining to vote in the UN on the Israel issue after not treating their allies right. They had tried to be on the winning side of battles in this conflicted area.
He perceives this through the lens of True Goodness and True Malice as described in Judaism.
