How did Obama lose face? Because he didn't get to bomb yet another country? And Obama unfortunately isn't a strong leader like Jimmy Carter.

Israel is a rogue nation because it ignores the will of international community in perpetuating a near half-century illegal military occupation of lands that are not theirs. They also refuse to abide by international standards and treaties over nuclear weapons, chemical weapons and so on. They've consistently ignored various comprehensive Arab peace settlements over the years so they can continue their slow-motion ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza.
