Attacks on
Netanyahu are becoming ridiculous. If we were living in less dangerous times these
constant attacks on the PM could be ignored,
but here we are, living under an existential nuclear threat from Iran and
Netanyahu, the only Israeli leader, apart from Ya’alon, who has demonstrated that
he understands the magnitude of the Iranian threat, is constantly being
attacked for absurd reasons.
What is going
on with Israelis? People become zombies when
Netanyahu is mentioned. Anybody but Bibi,
they say. And this from people who have
never read the Koran or hadith, let alone know anything about Shi’a eschatology,
the Twelvers or the Mahdi. Herzog and Livni are leading in the polls as if
lowering the price of cottage cheese will defend Israel from
Bibi
is blamed for everything. He is accused
of being pushy for walking in the front line of the Paris demonstration, for being there in the first place, for walking along with
Abbas as if it were his fault that the
French invited Abbas while at the same time President Hollande declares that “Ces fanatiques n’ont rien à voir avec la religion musulmane” -
" these
fanatics have nothing to do with Islam” and
Obama convenes a summit on
Violent Extremism ( should have been named the
Newspeak Summit).
As I write
this, news is coming in of two dead in
anti-terrorism raid in Belgium while
Nasrallah is declaring Hezbollah ready
for war beyond Galilee
