Sande: The Onion - U.S. Worried About Living Up To Netanyahu Campaign Promises

Thursday, March 19, 2015

Anonymous said...: JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Thursday tried to walk back his pre-election declaration that no Palestinian state would be established on his watch, but his new assertions appeared to do nothing to assuage an infuriated Obama administration.

In an interview on MSNBC, Mr. Netanyahu also said he had not been trying to suppress the votes of Arab citizens with an Election Day video warning that they were heading to polling stations in large numbers.

Mr. Netanyahu said that he still wanted “a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that he had not intended to reverse the position he took endorsing that in a 2009 speech at BarIlan University. “I haven’t changed my policy,” he said in the interview, his first since his resounding victory on Tuesday, which handed him a fourth term. “What has changed is the reality.”; 4:06 PM
Jim Sande said...: No shocker here, he did what his political team knew he had to do to win. generally speaking in this day and age, politicians have no moral compass, they'll say anything, and Netanyahu is among the lowest of the low. His name sort of sums it up - ya-hoo.; 5:28 PM
