A small sampling of some of the comments on my Facebook feed. Israelis are angry today - angry at our government but mainly, angry at Bibi Netanyahu for once again lying to us and showing the world that we will buckle easily to terrorism. Easily is perhaps the wrong word. It isn't easy. Bibi put metal detectors there and then again and again said he wouldn't remove them.
And then he did - with some ridiculous comment about putting "advanced technology" in place. The metal detectors are gone; the cameras are probably next. The "advanced technology" is nowhere in sight. Bibi - you're so fired.
What happened? From the Times of Israel's Middle East Analyst:
What happened? From the Times of Israel's Middle East Analyst:
"Let's start at the end....the government of Israel has caved in. Completely. There's no other way to put it." On this, Avi Issacharoff is correct.
And I'll add, Israelis are angry...with every justification in the world...some of their word:
- Here we go again! No words. When is the next election?
-
Har Habayit was given away twice, once my Moshe Dayan and once by Benyamin Netanyahu. SHAME ON BOTH OF THEM!
- I wonder what smart checks is, and if they are better than metal detectors, why isn't that what it being used every where else
- Bibi. Shelf-life. Over. Period.
- Israel adopts ghetto mentality.
- The point is that we are supposed to be a democracy, the only one in the middle east, right, so how can it be that there are metal detectors only for non-muslims?
- I know 2 year-olds with more guts!
- I remember the "bibi tov layehudim" campaign. They are all tov when they talk. They are all sell-outs whenever they are offered an opportunity for change. This is the really status quo.
- We need to move out of our status quo choices and look somewhere outside of the career politicians.
- I'm OK with removing detectors, as long as we remove Al Aqsa after the next attack.
- OK - so Bibi caved. No real surprise
- Sorry, appeasing the idiocy, intolerance, and violence of the Muslims is a mistake.
- I knew that washow it is going to end - It is his predictable pattern of behavior!
- My message: NOT MY PM!
- We don't live in Kansas, we live in the jungle of the Arab/Muslim world, with its own rules. To them "symbols" mean a lot, therefore to deal with our Muslim enemies properly, we also have to place emphasis on the symbolic.
- Looking for a new party. Likud is clearly just Labour in wolves' clothing.
- I got da The "Bibi Blues"
- What the Arabs do at this point no longer matters. The problem is Netanyahu.
- This is just terrible - I can't believe Israel capitulated - it will never be safe in Israel now!
- If it wasn't a payoff of ransom they wouldn't have been there before dawn with the heavy equipment.
- This is ridiculous
- The next Jewish murder, c v'Shalom. .....will be our fault. Blood will stain Bibi's hands. He's become a professional funeral attendee.
- Disgusting government
- Guess what, Bibi.....the world STILL hates us.....and it's not going to matter. What have you done?
- What happened? Government backed down. Collapsed in a hostage situation. Strengthened an extreme Jordan and also 'Palestinian' national identity.
- old security cameras coming down too, the ones where we could all see the last murderers carrying in the weapons and then firing into the back of the police officer, they want free reign to murder us, and bibi agree.
- We live in Chelm
- No. Bibi
A lot of people are disgusted.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of a Jewish State when it carries out Arab orders?
A lot of it would be tolerable had Israel gotten something in return for it - no and the spin about cameras are another lie.
Israel is bad at bargaining at the souk and its only Av. Every one is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
And, so, ends my love affair with Bibi Netanyahu. Muslims have spent centuries massacring and exiling Jews and trying to run them out of their own country, creating evil and false propaganda against them and trying to keep them from worshiping on their own Temple Mount but go insane when, finally, the only solution to control their violence is to return the favor by creating security measures. And, still, they will fuel the fires, so that the world will blame Israel, while being angry for not being able to smuggle in weapons to kill Jews, Israelis and all infidels. Islam, making entire cultures mentally ill for centuries. Perhaps a final confrontation is in the works to solve things once and for all in favor of taking back the Temple Mount, which began as a Jewish site and should return to being a Jewish site, controlled by the Jewish state of Israel. Let's hope its leaders have the chutzpah to do just that. Take a stand, Israel, take a stand. "If Israel wishes to clear the moral air, it must start acting like it actually owns the land. Real owners don’t whine to others. Real owners don’t try to please violent squatters on their property. Real owners assert their authority – unapologetically," ~ Asher Schwartz
