There's a saying about Netanyahu.
"Talks like Begin, acts like Peres."
I am not sure i'd say that.. But he certainly believes that Israel has to obey the american government.. He says "yes" to their policies.. He may stall them, maybe, but he says Yes. So he said Yes to Oslo and doesn't apologise for that.
He defends saying "yes" as something that he had to do.
I heard him speak.. he was asked about Hevron. He said he only pulled out of the arab quarters of Hevron, and he did it because there was no way out of it, it was the first requirement of oslo. He stalled Oslo by demanding reciprocity.
Interestingly, Arafat when he was near the end - perhaps a bit crazy - he said that if Netanyahu was P.M., the "palestinians" would have a state by now.
Another problem with the rightist politicians.. is that they can give away land when leftist ones can't. The rightist ones talk tough and gain the trust of a rightist population. Leftist politicians don't have that power, they can't do the agenda that easily.
There is only ever one agenda. Whoever is in power does it.
We saw that with Sharon vs Mitzna , 2002 I think..
Mitzna talked about building a fence, and a unilateral withdrawal plan. withdrawing even if we can't agree with them.
Sharon kept quiet and just said "I have a plan".. He kept saying "I will stop zeh terror".. People asked him what if the terrorism doesn't stop.. he said he has a plan. People thought again, maybe there really is an old Sharon , great military genius, maybe he does have a plan. Then Sharon won. (because mitzna was leftist and the people behind mitzna were Peres and Co, all leftists). You know what Sharon did. He followed the Mitzna plan. Built the fence (which the left is right, it's really a de facto border for a future "Pali" state) , and in 2005, I think under Sharon, Israel withdrew from Gaza, throwing the jews out of Gush Katif.
So, they all want a "palestinian" state.
Sharon and Netanyahu are the same in the policies they persue.. Just Netanyahu can talk.
Daniel Ben Avraham an old host from INR in 2002 and I think some of 2003, said "Sharon's plan is to say he wants a Palestinian state , and delay it for as long as possible"
