March 27 (Bloomberg) -- A couple of years ago, VicePresident Joe Biden, on a visit to Israel, offered PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu a piece of advice. He sharedsomething his father often said: “There’s no sense dying on asmall cross.”
Few American politicians would think it wise to invokecrucifixion in a conversation with the leader of the Jewishstate (though the Jerusalem setting was apt), and fewer stillwould get away with it. But Netanyahu, who considers Biden hisclosest friend in the Obama administration, laughed. What hedidn’t do was take the advice in the way it was intended.
