Title: Netanyahu, what's your opinion of the man?
Post by: New Yorker on November 19, 2007, 08:20:10 PM


There's a very good chance Netanyahu could suceed Omert, good? bad? What I know of him is from when he's been a commentor on news programs, and judging by that he seems to be a good man. I'm curious of the opinion of my fellow JTF members.

Two things can be said: Just like republicans, Netanyoyo, is the lesser of the two evils.

ON the other hand, but having someone who considers himself to be "right wing" but really is left wing can be potentially dangerous for dumb people who will think so as well.

Netanyoyo is also a leftists. There is no real right wing in Israel. There are a left and a virtual right, which is also a part of the left. Netanyoyo comes from the virtual right that is far more dangerous than the left. We have seen how dangerous it is when Netanyoyo surrendered Hebron and Sharon surrendered Gaza.

He's marginally less evil than Olmert--like the difference between Arnold Schwarzenfagger and Hillary Sodom.

The way it works. Is if the people are to the right, they vote a Netanyahu - a tough talker. If they are to the left, they vote a Peres - soft talker.

They do the same thing.  Just at different paces.  When people are reluctant to give land, then only a Netanyahu can convince them to. 

They are difference faces by which human controlling powers sell their plans on Israel.

There is one plan , that is to set up a palestinian state, and give land. Israeli Govt Ministers just adopt that same plan.

I heard him speak in a local shul/synagogue.    At best, Netanyahu is somebody that believes that Israel must not reject American plans like Oslo. But within that framework, he wants what is best for israel - no palestinian state. So he said yes to Oslo and makes no apologies for that. But he tried to stall it as long as possible, with political manoeuvring that drove Clinton mad. His idea of reciprocity, that Israel cannot take a step another step until it gets something in return, that helped stall Oslo alot. 

Nevertheless. The plan has chanced. Now the one plan is not land for piece. It is "unilateral withdrawal". Just give land. I think Netanyahu would go with that, he never rejects the plan. His website says something like, that Israel NEEDS support from an international coalition against terrorism. Perhaps he will accept America alone as support. No doubt America as a minimum.

Likud can be more dangerous than Labour. Because they can convince reluctant masses to give land. By talking tough.

Netanyahu is quite possibly the most educated person on the Iranian Nuclear issue. He would be great with dealing with Iran. Now when it come to land for peace illusionhe has only supported this once in Gaza but he now know that it won't work and I can't see him doing the same with Judah Samria because of what happened with Hamas in Gaza

Don't forget Begin giving up the Sinai..that mass of land is about the same size of Israel.

Netanyahu only won a primary because he ran as a conservative.  If he ran with his real positions, he wouldn't have won.

I think I read an article once about how Ehud Barak--the same one who made a deal to ruin Israel--moved away from his base--the far-left--on some issues because he knows he wouldn't be able to win a general election otherwise.

So to summarize, two of the potential candidates are ones who can't be trusted.
