I predict…
Alterman: President Clinton will continue President Obama’s policies in the hope that an Israeli leadership emerges which will be more far-sighted, pluralistic, democratic, and peace-seeking than the current one – one that forestalls the creation of an Israel forced to choose between its Jewish and democratic character; a choice that tragically, Israel’s current government’s myopia is hastening.
Jacoby: that Israel’s most unwavering support in the coming election will come not from secular American Jews but from devout American Christians
Lipsky: progress in the next administration on relations between America and Israel, as the cascade of world events throw our commonality of interest into ever sharper relief.
Podhoretz: nothing good.
Rubin: most predictions will be wrong. We are breaking new ground in American politics, with more instability and uncertainty arguably than at any time since the U.S. Civil War. We may witness political parties remade, new populist movements unleashed, and how deep distrust of both public and private institutions all impact American political culture in new and unexpected ways. The only certainty is the total absence of certainty.
