Not merely political posturing by Netanyahu. Obama himself talked about making political alliances with Israeli leftists - who, of course, work hand in hand in hand with the J Street types of American Jews to whom O is ultimately pandering. Netanyahu is legitimately trying to head off the Israeli left at a critical time, with Iran close to nuclear weapon capabilities. If he’s not the next Israeli PM, Israel will be in deeper trouble than ever in its entire history.
There is something very “biblical” about this. Somewhere in a prophecy—either a Joel Rosenberg book, or something like it.
Not a good message either. As we used to say, “bad bongos.”
Personally, I regard Netanyahu as a disappointment in his last stint as PM. What Israel really needs is Moshe Feiglin, but that apparently isn’t what most Israelis want.
Thanks justiceseeker93. Before that, we need to internationalize Mecca.
