Lies, Damned Lies & Bibi's Lies........................from Dan Friedman

[Whenever I send out anything that challenges Bibi’s bona fides as a Jewish patriot and “hardliner,” I receive numerous replies asking me to “cut Netanyahu some slack.” But one of the reasons I keep him on a short lease is what Israelis themselves report from the front. df]
 
 
 
 
 
 
On Yom Jerushalayim, PM Netanayahu swore that He will never divide Jerusalem. Then yesterday he said he was a great defender of the settlements but that he is constrained by “international considerations”. So essentially while he is trying to convince us of his bona fides, He is bowing to international pressure. In doing so he is also violating Israeli law.
The Jerusalem Law forbids the transfer of sovereignty in Jerusalem into foreign hands, but this is what is happening in practice

"... Jewish patriot and “hardliner,” ..."

You are being disingenuous. I challenge you when you challenge his Israeli patriotism, not his "Jewish patriotism", whatever that means.

Bibi is indisputably an Israeli patriot. He is, of course, also a Jew. But there is no consensus on what it means to be a Jew, in Israel or anywhere else.

And you, Dan Friedman, are not the world's arbitor of last resort on that issue.
