LESTER HOLT: Why dont you think the Palestinians will take advantage of this opportunity?
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: Because they havent lifted a finger against the terrorists, because Hamas terrorists and Hezbollah are saying that this is a great victory for terrorism, and they intend to continue, they say so openly. In fact, the Palestinian authorities, a collection of armed bands, and they dont lift a finger against terrorists. These people do not disarm themselves, they say they will continue to rocket our cities and send suicide bombers to kill our men, women and children. So, unfortunately, this is viewed on the Palestinian side as a great victory and a great justification for terrorism. And the victory of terrorism in one place enables terrorism elsewhere and here to. This is the tragedy of something that probably was well intentioned, but I think will be played out badly.

To establish more easily defended lines, really defacto borders. Whether that's factual, we'll have to wait and see.
My dear Jackson, you won't have to wait too long. There is no built in security and the terrorists are cheering right now because they've been rewarded, and they'll be able to cause more damage than ever.
Going shopping, back later.
Netanyahu ping!
The problem is that the pacifist element continues to emerge again and again in Israel. Pacifism = suicide, particularly in Israel.
Why not move 10,000 more settlers into Gaza and let them defend it themselves - like in the old days?
He may be the only one Americans know to tell it like it is......when it is too late....when earlier, in time, he may have been able to kill it in its crib.
Americans just love Netanyahu. All it takes in a handsome guy who speaks fluent English. Never mind what he actually does.
Netanyahu didn't even kill OSLO when he had the opportunity.
There are many Israelis who fought this tooth and nail, and put principle above career. Maybe they are less good looking and speak English with an accent.
As soon as the Gaza scum start launching terrorist strikes from Gaza .... swoop in ... kill all the fighters ... load the rest of them on garbage scows ... tow them up to the first beach in Lebanon and run them aground.
It's said intifada3 starts late this year or early next. I don't think they'll hold off that long. The damage they cause is dependent on Israel's reaction, both the the murder of Israeli civilians and the US/Euro whine about the cycle of violence.
He's a wise man. Too bad no one has listened to him.
Kind of like the cancerous pacifism Cindy Sheehan & cohorts are trying to spread?
Okay. I'll take your word for it. I'm sure you know more about it than I do.
So, what is the answer? Seems like no matter who's in charge or what they do, they get kicked in the crotch. I can't believe what patience those people have. I'm much in admiration of Israel.
