He's trading on his close friendship with President Trump and THAT makes me happy! GOOD to see President Trump's popularity is a benefit!!
Take THAT, Obammie and Demonic-Rats! Har!

Well, if there’s any PLO I trust, it’s Hanan Ashrawi. /as if it should be necessary to have an “s” there
Former girlfriend of Peter Jennings who did a special on Jerusalem. (no, I didn’t waste my time on that one - A Gilligan’s Island rerun would have been a better time investment).
I’d rather Netanyahu choose to retire from the premiership and serve as an elder statesman and help groom the next generation of Israeli leaders. He’s too paranoid that someone’s going to oust him from office to serve as a mentor while he’s PM.
If he wins, in three years he will once again dissolve his government and run for reelection on the mantra he’s the only one to protect Israel. And if he wins again, he’ll do this again in six years. It’s his pattern.
Bibi needs to let his people go so the next generation can find their place and voice.
It’s time to pass the baton, Bibi.
The West Bank belongs to Israel, along with all of Jerusalem.
Those are beautiful HOMES, not friggin “settlements”. the only “occupiers” of Jewish land are the Muslims who invaded 1400 years ago. they should have ALL been deported after 1948
Bibis had many years to do this and he c an still do it BEFORE the election. But alas hes failed. Hes also impeded needed home building while hes permitted or even enabled the enemy occupation of significant parts of the Jewish Promised Land. Hes a great talker but ...
It seems to me that is the choice of the Israeli Citizens and if they want him out, he will be gone.
In my opinion, he is the best Israeli PM in my lifetime of following politics {mid 60s until today} and general benny gantz, has balls as big as BBs. Gantz is a general that would do well in obummers army. Check his record.
Gotta love that first line. Talk about a clear distinction between the innate character of two peoples.
Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
MAGA: Make Ariel Great Again
Gantz showed how smart he is(n’t) when he linked up with Lapid.
Yes!
We should have given the jews Nevada as a homeland even if we had to move every damned brick of the wailing wall over by boat...
They they could fight over MOAB with the Maromons...

It would have been easier ( not joking )
Brits proposed Uganda as a Jewish homeland. No joke.
In The Yiddish Policemens Union, they all went to Alaska .
They will squeeze until the PLO drags itself back to negotiations.
The PLO loses land, power, money and influence on a yearly basis. Technology has made their accusations vs Israel a running joke as everything is filmed and dozens and dozens of Israeli cameras meet them at every protest.
Gone are the days where they place hand painted Ambulance signs on station wagons then drive by in rotation around journalists. They’re rapidly running out of retarded children to sacrifice them and blame it on Israel.
Ordinary Palestinians are now beginning to understand that the single biggest obstacle to peace and prosperity is the PLO and Hamas.
The majority opinion agrees with you.
But for all the good he has done for the State of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu is stuck in the past. He knows only war. And this makes him too comfortable with waging it, threatening it, and justifying his premiership on it.
At this point Bibi's three decades long rhetorical mantra may be too ingrained in Israel's social fabric for Israelis to be bold and vote for the possible instead of the status quo.
And, yes, I know it's not up to me. All I can do is watch.
Taking Netanyahu at his word, Palestinians seeking statehood in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem called his settlement annexation remarks a violation of international law regarding occupied territory.
*************
“international law regarding occupied territory.”
It was occupied alright, but by Transjordan who invaded the territory in 1948. The British gave 77% of the Palestinian Mandate to a Saudi Prince in 1922. The promise was that the remaining area west of the Jordan was to be the Jewish Homeland. In fact Jewish settlers were moved from east of the Jordan, with this promise.
After Transjordan invaded the “West Bank”, it changed its name to Jordan, because Transjordan meant east of the Jordan River, and now they occupied the area west of the Jordan. Tansjordan also gave citizenship to all Arab residents in the occupied area.
The area became known as “The West Bank” in 1967 after Jordan lost it to Israel, after they again attacked Israel.
The occupant identified themselves as Arab or Jordanian prior to 1967. After 1967 they started calling themselves “Palestinians”, a name only the Jewish refugees referred to themselves as prior to the creation of the state of Israel.
“weighed the gravity”? How much did it weigh?
