WILL THE REAL NETANYAHU STAND UP?

So the Prime Minister of Israel used to say he was for a two state solution with the Palestinians, then in the election he said there would be no two state solution if he was re-elected, and now says that a two state solution is preferred.  The news media seems to be confused on apparent turnarounds, but they shouldn't be.  It is clear to me that he is saying that he is for a peaceful two state solution, but it won't occur on his watch.  Well, the record shows it didn't happen in his first six years as Prime Minister so I suspect he is right.

I was shocked by Netanyahu's statement during the election that Arabs were being trucked in by the bus load.  Can you imagine an American presidential candidate saying such a thing about our minorities to scare his base to vote?

I have long felt that Israel has no intention on giving up the West Bank.  My thought is that they plan to take over the West Bank one settlement at a time.  Actually an individual settlement doesn't take up that much room; however, there are the highways that are disruptive to the Palestinians.
