This was just the first portion, and everyone knows that is the smallest of portions... In order to build in Eretz Yisrael we do not need reasons. That there are negotiations taking place is its own issue, and I have what to say about that as well, but the attempt to connect between it and between construction is a mistake.

He's talking like Abu Mazen who declared to the freed terrorists that they were just the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI think the only way I could shut up about the Bayit Yehudi staying in the government is they say that the rabbis agreed to this whole deal (make noise, oppose the release, stay in the government, support the budget).
I heard Ariel claim a few times that now is not the time to 'break the tools' but his argument is never convincing. Was it worth it to get several hundred new homes in exchange for supporting the anti-Torah budget and allowing negotiations to continue?
