Quote of the Day

The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit
The good thing about Netanyahu is that he’s scared to launch wars. The bad thing about him is that he won’t do anything to reach an accommodation with the Palestinians or with the Sunni Arab states. The only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat. He’s not [Yitzhak] Rabin, he’s not [Ariel] Sharon, he’s certainly no [Menachem] Begin. He’s got no guts

  -- senior Obama administration official, to columnist Jeffrey Goldberg

  1. "The only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat."

    Leaving aside everything else here, this statement is absolutely true. Netanyahu has always had one principle and only one principle -- to do whatever has to be done to stay in office as long as possible.

    Everything that he has ever said or done as a politician follows from that.

    1. so? and he's done that brilliantly almost each time. What do you expect him to do? And who will replace him? Bennet?
      I am not Likud, yet I do somewhat admire how PM Netanyahu has managed to walk the tightrope and stay on. I don't approve one bit talking about a Palestinian state, but frankly, Netanyahu has to my knowledge, never ever said where that state will be.

    2. I am in favor of a Palestinian state. How about Wyoming? ;-)
