Netanyahu: I Warned Of Hamastan -- "Iranian Base"

Netanyahu said he saw a direct link between Israel's disengagement from Gaza in 2005 and the current situation there. "What we're seeing in Gaza is the inevitable result of our weak, defeatist policies and withdrawal. Every peace of land we evacuate is seized by radical Islam backed by Iran and rockets are launched from there against us," he noted. "The unilateral withdrawal from Lebanon created "Hizbullahstan" - the first Iranian base in northern Israel, and now we got "Hamastan" - the second Iranian base in southern Israel." "This is a result of an erroneous policy of Israel's leaders, or actually of the prime ministers since the withdrawal from Lebanon and onward...

He did indeed warn of this. Clinton's new toy, Ehud Barak, cowardly sold out our Christian brothers in South Lebanon, justfiably enraging Joseph Farah and setting the stage for the coming war in between Hizbollah and Israel.

Bibi nails it.

[RAY]

Netanyahu, there things about him I do not like, but he seems right on here!

[SolidWood]

Israel needs a real leader.

[Bean Counter]

He did indeed warn us about that, and was absolutely vilified for it in the American Press; because he dared speak ill of Bill Clinton’s newest and bestest friend, and most frequesnt White House visitor, reprobate Yassar Arafat.

Netanyahu on Hamasastan ping.

[johnny7]

I believe Barak is now the newly named Defense Minister...

[Man50D]

It’s Neville Chamberlainitis!

[SE Mom]

Bibi BTTT

[Victor]

Three steps to secure Israel:

1. Re-elect Bibi as prime Minister

2. Eliminate the vermin in West Bank and Gaza

3. Reclaim these territories as part of sovereign Israel; set up large military garrisons and keep eliminating the vermin.

Case closed.

[Founding Father]

Israel needs a real leader.

Agreed, but study Bibi's actions as PM, not his words before jumping on the Bibi bandwagon.

[SolidWood]

4. Populate the regained territory with Israeli settlers.

5. Built an huge fence around Israel

Case closed.

[badpacifist]

The people of Israel are not without guilt here, the majority has to make a decision and stick with it or you get what they have now.

[Victor]

6. Eliminate the Iranian threat; by whatever means necessary.

Case closed.

I am willing to give Bibi another chance. He seems to mean business. He has the cojones to take out Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hezbullah and use the means at his disposal. That’s more than any other Israeli “leader” currently can offer.

His past actions as PM (regarding Palestine) have to be seen in context of the Clinton Presidency. I am confident with a right-wing US President, the History of the ME may have went an other course in the 1990’s.

[Victor]

I think we've pretty much nailed down a secure policy for Israel. Anywhere we can send this agenda?

Any Israeli FReepers here that can take this downtown?

[Popman]

I am willing to give Bibi another chance

What did Bibi do to to make you throw him under the bus in the first place?

I'm sure he sleeps better at night knowing you are willing to give him another chance : )

[montag813]

The Israeli people don’t want Olmert, yet there he remains. Ehud Barak would have sold Israel to the devil, if not for Arafat’s idiotic refusal. Yet he will now be Defense Minister? Bibi knows what to do, yet he is powerless. Things are not in good order in Israel prior to another conflict.

[jamndad5]

Hamastan?

Ham-a-stan?

Will they be serving pulled pork?
