The Crowd Went Crazy As Bibi Hit The Stage

It was announced today that Prime Minister Netanyahu will deliver a defining foreign policy address this coming Sunday at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilon University. Tied to a rather significant pool of think tanks, the BESA Center seems to be a meaningful backdrop for Bibi to define his intentions regarding the settlements and the "two-state" solution. Of course, this being Israel, there is plenty of bickering as to the choice of location. There are many MKs getting bent out of shape about the speech not being presented in the Knesset. Some think he's avoiding a potentially hostile audience, others that he his downplaying the significance of Israel's parliament.

Personally, I think it's a smart play. The Big Pajama gave his speech at a sympathetic university in Cairo. Bibi will be doing the same, but trumping Pajama as the center is dedicated to the memories of Menachim Begin and Anwar Sadat, two great men who risked all for peace, an accomplishment completely foreign to, and beyond the interest of the ass kissing lying narcissist panderer posing as the President of the United States. It is a statement that, in a time when real vision and leadership is required, the events of the day are above the Resident's pay grade.

I say, good call Bibi.

Despite the Hotovely conference on two-state solution alternatives, there has been little in the way of a definitive statement from Israel regarding the "peace process." We know that Bibi has signaled there will be no cessation of natural growth construction in the established settlements. We know that he has made it clear that there is no point in moving forward without the unequivocal recognition by Hamas and Fatah of Israel's permanent status as a Jewish state.

My suggestion is that Bibi start there. The time has come for the state of Israel, the Jewish homeland to not ask, but demand once and for all that the calls for Jewish genocide end; that the marking of the Nakba end; that the calls for Palestine "from the river to the sea" end.

No more compromises. No more concessions. Acceptance of the Jewish state or nothing.

The time has come for Israel to stop letting the world dictate the terms of her suicide, or survival.
