Israel: The UnJews Are Being Left in The Dust................by Dan Friedman

Vice Premier and former IDF Chief of Staff Moshe “Boogie” Ya’alon” is said to be PM Netanyahu’s ideological doppelgänger. He’s often sent out to the “hustings” to channel Bibi on Israel’s strategic path. On Sunday, Ya’alon met with a group of Likud anglos, English-speaking citizens of Israel (mostly Americans) who are members of the Likud. Ted Belman of the indispensable Israpundit was there and brought back this report. If you want to know why Obama, J Street, Soros, Joe Klein, Tom Friedman and the NYT are in a frenzy, I suggest you take a minute to read it.

The GOI is being smart about it. Bibi hasn’t given an inch. Meanwhile he keeps building albeit at a slow pace. As for the peace process it keeps demanding things that the Palestinians won’t concede. Thus they are laid bare.

It is keeping its eye on two balls.

First it is slowing showing the fruitlessness of the process and the two state solution. It expects that in time the west will be more amenable to a paradigm shift. In other words he is tilling the soil before planting. Secondly, it is staying close to the center in Israeli politics while the country keeps moving to the right. This will pay off in the next election.

Be patient.

Steady as she goes
