Netanyahu to NBC: I want a peaceful two-state solution

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4638988,00.html

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied on Thursday that he had abandoned his commitment to creating a Palestinian state, but said current political conditions made that possibility more remote.

"I don't want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution. But for that, circumstances have to change," Netanyahu said in an interview on MSNBC, appearing to back away from comments he made during the Israeli election campaign that drew heavy US criticism.

The prime minister also affirmed his country's strong ties with the United States on Thursday after tensions in the run-up to his election victory, saying Israel has "no greater ally."

"There are so many areas where we must work together with the United States," Netanyahu said in an interview with NBC. "America has no greater ally than Israel and Israel has no greater ally than the United States."


This guy really is a lying pile of crap. Anybody that believes this scoundrel should be laughed at repeatedly for being a dunce.

Israel is an open apartheid state, and its right wing leadership lies through every orifice possible.

BDS.

1. He's the head of a Theocracy

And he's co-opted, the God of us all, to abuse and systematically eliminate a portion of his supposedly own people, the Palestinians, because Bibi wants their land. So he and our God will snuff them out.

Bet they don't even receive proper burials or a grave marker when they are finally all dead. Maybe they will just be pushed into the sea and drown?

Mosad ought to do them all a favor and let some of that Afghanistan poppy juice in and allow them all OD. Seems better that beating them to death at the check points. Or letting the mothers deliver dead babies as they are refused entry to deliver at a hospital.

Just get it over. I'm sick of the slow suffocation.

with either the US or the Israeli's who voted for him, I'm wondering if he didn't just hand the show to Herzog for all the good that might do

It gives Kulanu some plausible deniability if it wants to join a Netanyahu government.

12. And Kulanu doesn't want to join Bibi

It's a hard fact.

39 more days and ticking, Bibi... he just doesn't have the numbers, and unless Bibi himself quits Likud and politics in general, Kulanu will not join Likudniks.

Accumulations of excrement are not, as far as I know, sentient entities, and thus cannot formulate deceptive statements. Also, unlike politicians, accumulated excrement can perform useful functions in life, such as crop fertilization.

On Monday, with polls showing a tight race between Netanyahu's Likud Party and the Zionist Union of Isaac Herzog, Netanyahu had definitively ruled out the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Has the "40 days" clock for Nutty to form a new coalition started yet, or does he have to be given a formal invitation to do so by the Israeli president?
