Danny Danon Says, "Not So Fast Bibi."

Suitably unimpressed with Bibi's proposal to approve new construction in the face of his accepting Marack's racist demands regarding Jewish building in Yesha, Likud MK Danny Danon has announced that he, and other Likud MKs were planning meetings with other coalition members to organize support in opposing the construction freeze. Meetings will be taking place with senior members of Shas, Israel Beitanu MKs, and members of Habayit HaYehudi. Danon told JPost:

"the prime minister has apparently forgotten that he stands at the head of a nationalist government. With all of the secret agreements that he is making over our heads, we will soon find ourselves at a point of no return in terms of Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria."

Labor MKs of course welcome any plan that they see as eventually leading to Israel's destruction. But since Labor's existence is tenuous at best, who really cares what they think?

Well, if no one cares what Labor thinks they will certainly care about what the Saudis think. Remember that Marack's stated plan is that Israel agreeing to freeze construction will lead to concessions from Arab countries on trade relations, access to airspace, and other nominal concessions (which does not seem to include the recognition of Israel's right to exist as the national homeland of the Jewish people). Looks like everyone's favorite financiers of terrorism and exporters of radical Wahabism are going to make this notion a pretty hard sell.

Transportation Minister, Yisrael Katz, announced that the Saudis have rejected giving airspace access to Israeli commercial flights. It is the considered opinion of the House of Terror Money Launderers that Israeli planes would "contaminate," (yes...contaminate) Saudi holy cities.

Somehow I think the Saudis will decide that Israeli fighters bound for Iran will not contaminate them, at least not enough to warrant potentially facing nuclear blackmail from their Shiite neighbors to the east.

So, since the Arabs have eliminated any possible incentive for Israel to consider freezing construction, not that there would be any benefit to Israel anyway, why is Bibi still pushing the freeze? Marack must have promised him a magic pony.
