Sworn in Tuesday as prime minister in the most right-wing government in Israel’s history, Benjamin Netanyahu threatened a military strike against Iran and signaled a break with the so-called “two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict backed by Washington.
Netanyahu took office at the head of a fractious coalition after weeks of political horse-trading. The February 10 election in Israel gave Netanyahu’s Likud party one less seat in the Knesset than the Kadima party of outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni, the former foreign minister and the party’s candidate.

Can you BELIEVE that what we got, after ALL that hard work, was NETANYAHU?! I mean, that was not the card I thought would be played, and they certainly do have some problems right now in Israel.
My position hasn’t changed on this. I am ANTI-ZION, but killing the people of the State of Israel, which many millions of souls have now been born into (MUCH likle our OWN United States) means that that country can NOT be exterminated. NOPE, and look…Israel is here to stay. So let’s take the air out of this Zionistic bullshit, and let’s move forward. I am looking at a ONE STATE SOLUTION here, and nothing less than that is going to work. Much love, and peace (god willing), and hope, and back to much love from oops
Thanks, Oop. I prefer a one state solution, too. It’s not going to happen (I don’t think).
