"Bibi is not trustworthy, I'm afraid. The guy is very well spoken, but he is not the kind of guy I would trust to lead Israel in these trying times. He just doesn't have the backbone."
Bibi doesn't have the backbone?? He's already announced that he intends to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities as soon as he takes office.
Say what you will about Netanyahu, but he has enough backbone . . I don't understand your critcism.
Well understand this.
He never undone the Oslo accords, and even tried to implement the agreed steps in the accords.
He said he will never give Hebron and guess what? He did.
He was widely known to have dealt with Arafat and has actually shook his hands more than once (look for photos in Google).
He was part of the Haled Mash'al fiasco where he ordered the Mossad to provide the antidote to Mash'al in return for several Mossad agents' release. That's negotiating with terrorists for you.
In October '98 he accepted further withdrawals from some areas of the West Bank and agreed to open an airport in the Gaza Strip.
He's a coward with a zigzag mentality. Initially he supported the disengagement from Gaza, and then only several days before he cowered and voted against it.
People in Israel don't take him seriously anymore.
