Groan - Netanyahu immediately disappoints...

Well, looks like my earlier posting of today was wrong; apparently Netanyahu was not finessing anything, nor was he asserting anything about the Arabs having to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Quoth he:
"Contrary to reports, I don't condition dialogue with the Palestinians on recognition of Israel as a Jewish state. Nevertheless, progress in the peace process does depend on the willingness to recognize Israel as a Jewish state."
Blah blah blah. Granted, we won't make any progress, but we will still go on talking... and allowing ourselves to be pressurized into making unreciprocated concessions... and destroying Jewish towns and lives... while the Pals do nothing but incite against us in their official media and complain to the world that we're poisoning their wells, using the blood of their children to bake matzos... etc. etc.

Ugh. For a few hours there I thought we were going to see a new style of leadership and advocacy... but it looks like Bibi is slotting straight back into the Kadima/Labor mode of apologetics, concessions and never holding the Palestinian leadership accountable for anything - lest Heaven Forfend! it should turn out that our supposed "peace partners" also want us dead, just as much as Hamas. They only differ on tactics.

Bibi, you let the side down badly. Again.
