'Nearly unanimous'? Heh. (Hat Tip: American Spectator).About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Outside of Israel's leftist elite circles, Netanyahu's speech was favorably received by Israelis.
Unanimous? Maybe in the circles Ethan Bronner knows.
But not in mainstream Israel.
Heh
The predicate that Bibi had a "widely articulated goal" to "find a way to lure the Palestinians back to direct negotiations" is on its head whatever left-wing quotes can be snagged from the Times rolodex. While Israel is 100% behind Bibi's campaign to thwart UN recognition in September it backs Bibi's "'widely articulated" refusal to give in to Palestinian extortion with unilateral concessions to restart another useless round of games with these banana republic Nazis (who would go to the UN anyways). If parents of a child who was kidnapped tell Inspector Clouseau they would like to prevent their abducted child from being harmed or smuggled out of the state, that does not mean they are willing to pay the kidnappers blood money.
The article would make a surprising amount of sense by changing one word in the title:
"Israelis see trip as diplomatic success"
