Here's someone who gets it
I've mentioned Liz Berney - who ran for Gary Ackerman's seat in Congress - several times on this blog, most recently here.This is from the description of the video you're about to watch:
On January 10, 2011, at an event in Manhattan, Liz Berney expressed to MK Tzipi Hotovely that the 'Palestinian Authority' needs to be accountable for not complying with agreements to stop terrorism, incitement, and collecting illegal arms. Liz Berney also expressed in order for the Americans to really support Israel, that Israel has to take the most aggressive posture possible. This is yet another illustration of Liz Berney's excellent positions and leadership. Liz Berney, a Republican, ran against ultra leftist Gary Ackerman in the NY 5th Congressional District in 2008 and 2010. Ackerman is a strong supporter of the Obama agenda.Let's go to the videotape.
While MK Hotovely has some good positions on the issues, one thing she must overcome is her concern about the reaction of the International Community. This is something the vast majority of the 'leaders in Israel' worry about. It's foolish on their part. Leaders of other countries are going to criticize Israel regardless what it does. Hence, why not take a proactive aggressive approach! If Israel follows the blue print of the Creator of the Universe, everything will take care of itself.
At the beginning of the video, the person Liz Berney was referring to is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu. Like 'Bibi', MK Tzipi Hotovely is a member of the Likud party.
Liz - the first speaker - obviously gets it. Tzipi Hotovely, who responds to her, is one of our better MK's, and hopefully will get it real soon.

Israel's leaders should stop worrying less about what the world thinks and be good shepherds at home.
No one respects a doormat, which is what Israel has become.
What could go wrong indeed
Carl, thanks for sharing the video. It was uplifting for me to be in the audience when Liz Berney expressed her thoughts to MK Tzipi Hotovely. Liz does indeed ' get it'. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the vast majority of people in the Israeli government. If Israel followed the lead of Liz Berney and NormanF, the Nation would no longer be vulnerable to International pressure.
