'Government politically blind,' says Netanyahu
Ynetnews ^ | November 25, 2007 | Attila Somfalvi

Opposition leader MK Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) on Sunday slammed the government's decision making process prior to the Annapolis peace conference, calling it "political blindness."

"Everybody wants peace, but we want a real peace and that requires insisting on the safety of Israeli citizens and insisting on reciprocality.

"This is a very weak government, which made too many concessions going into the summit," said Netanyahu, who spoke at the Zeev Jabotinsky awards ceremony.

"The government has released hundreds of prisoners and has already given the Palestinians weapons… They are politically blind. If this is how they start off, who knows were they'll end up," he added.

The Palestininans want Jeruselem. They’ll play along to get along on that issue. The Syrians want the Golan Heights. They’ll play along to get along on that issue.

What are they willing to give up in the intest of peace. The list follows.

01.
02.
03.
04.
05.
06.
07.
08.
09.
10.

There are the top ten things.

So the PLO gets prisoners released and weapons in order to induce them to come to the summit.

What does Israel get for agreeing to come to the summit?

What did Olmert ask for?

Anything? Nothing?

I don’t know if I have the right to say this but, I think Olmert should go. He’s been an absolute disaster for Israel, IMO.

Can’t Olmert find anything else in Israel to give away?
Israel should know that they can not make a deal with the devil. But Isreal surely should have learned by now. Israel still does not have it’s kidnapped soldiers home.

Here's a new one:

Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud faction head Gideon Sa'ar met Monday morning with Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef to convince him that the Annapolis peace summit would entail security risks for Israel.

I believe so. Of course Israel suffers from the same disease our nation does, infectious Marxism. We’ll see how it goes.
