No, I did not support Netanyahu’s position at Bar Ilan, that was a left turn for him. Many of us religious Zionists were disappointed, but assumed it was buying-for-time pragmatism.
His move to the right recently was very encouraging.
But I can see why you would get all giddy about thinking he might be veering immediately back to the left. You are going to be disappointed though. Why would Hussein Obama be thinking about forcing Israel back to the table at the UN if Netanyahu was already going to give them what they wanted?
No, you are quite wrong. Again.
Do you support Netanyahu now? I do ... as I have always said, I support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 100% in his policies and actions!
This explains Netanyahu’s position much better and also explains he has not backed away from his Bar-Ilan speech.

PM still wants ‘a peaceful two-state solution’
“I don’t want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution,” Prime Minister Netanyahu tells MSNBC in an interview after the elections.
Trying to clarify his position after the White House said it would draw its own conclusions from his comments on Election Day, in which he ruled out the establishment of a Palestinian state if re-elected, Netanyahu says, “I haven’t changed my policy. I never retracted my speech in Bar-Ilan University calling for a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes a Jewish state.”
Netanyahu explains that circumstances have changed since the Bar-Ilan speech was made in 2009.
Walking back pre-vote pitch, PM says he is not a one-stater

I always knew Netanyahu would stick to his long-standing policy, going back years and years. And it didn’t take him long to do that.
