But I remember my own remark to a friend when Netanyahu was elected: "Netanyahu is a sh*t sandwich for the Palestinian people." Unfortunately, so far I've been right. He's been a crapburger not only for the Palestinians, but for the US and Iran, too. Sociopath is a good description.

The guy is a sociopath, pure and simple, and on top of that he is not bright enough to know when to keep his sociopathic thoughts to himself.

Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye." A great quote from the New Testament. “Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.”

If Netanyahu imagines that his views and recommendations will be taken seriously in Iran and outside Israel (and USA) he is badly misinformed. He is as convincing as Kim Jong-il would be in lecturing how Israel's problems should be handled. Did NY Times tell today of Bedouins' troubles in Israel? Of course it did not. <a href="http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091207/FOREIGN/712069856/1011" rel="nofollow">Bedouins in Israel denied elections</a>. The democracy "radar" of US media has rather strong filters. Doesn’t Bibi have enough democracy “corrections” to perform at home?

Nothing like political opportunism to show the world your true self. It must be great to see everything in the world as either "good for Israel" or "not good for Israel." I'm sure the Iranian people would be glad to know that you care so deeply about their struggle. BTW, I also saw a Haaretz article recently claiming that the IDF is recruiting people to make war against anti-Zionism on the internets. Things must be getting pretty dismal for Israel if they have to build up a cyber-army for military Hasbara. The Goldstone Report must have really spooked 'em. Stay classy, Bibi.
