Caroline Glick blasts Netanyahu
In her Friday JPost column, Caroline Glick blasts Prime Minister Netanyahu for capitulating to President Obama. This week we discovered that we have been deceived. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's principled rejection of US President Barack Obama's bigoted demand that Israel bar Jews from building new homes and expanding existing ones in Judea and Samaria does not reflect his actual policy.Read the whole thing. Glick even goes on to support Moshe (Boogie) Yaalon, who was castigated by the JPost for showing up at a Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish leadership) meeting this past week.
Housing and Construction Minister Ariel Attias let the cat out of the bag. Attias said that the government has been barring Jews from building in the areas since it took office four months ago in the hopes that by preemptively capitulating to US demands, the US will treat Israel better.
And that's not all. Today Netanyahu is reportedly working in earnest to reach a deal with the Obama administration that would formalize the government's effective construction ban through 2010. Netanyahu is set to finalize such a deal at his meeting with Obama's Middle East envoy George Mitchell in London next Wednesday.
Unfortunately, far from treating Israel better as a result of Netanyahu's willingness to capitulate on the fundamental right of Jews to live and build homes in the land of Israel, the Obama administration is planning to pocket Israel's concession and then up the ante. Administration officials have stated that their next move will be to set a date for a new international Middle East peace conference that Obama will chair. There, Israel will be isolated and relentlessly attacked as the US, the Arabs, the Europeans, the UN and the Russians all gang up on our representatives and demand that Israel accept the so-called "Arab peace plan."
So Caroline, can I say 'I told you so' yet? Looks like Bibi's interested in wooing that other woman after all.

This is a bog "we told you so" moment for many of us.
The next "we told you so" moment for Glick starts now, by telling her that Ya'alon will wind up just the same.
Right-wing Israel politicians tell the public one thing during an election and then proceed to do the exact opposite when in office. I don't have high hopes this lamentable state of affairs will be turned around any time soon.
