Bibi is very sly, he never has been for a Palestinian state next to Israel. In his Bar-Ilan University speech of 2009 he stated that a two-state solution required "a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes a Jewish state" This is impossible to achieve as the Palis will never agree to it... As I said, Bibi is sly and he is not for a Pali state... he is for eternal, pointless negotiations that lead nowhere but help to quiet the leftists.

I agree. And if we’re wrong, we’d only be 1/1000th as wrong as he would be.

Republicans should learn from him.

He is for a Palestinian State.

A Palestinian State that:

Recognizes Israel
Does not threaten Israel
Is free of terrorist threats to Israel
Will live in peace with Israel

In other words, a Palestinian State that will NEVER exist.

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.

I always knew Netanyahu would stick to his long-standing policy, going back years and years.

The people wanted what he offered.
