Tzipi Livni and a majority of Israelis who support settlement freezes are now anti-semites? Please. Even if you challenge the findings of the polls, the fact remains that support for halting settlement growth is a mainstream political view within Israel. Crying “anti-semitism” over legitimate policy differences simply lessens the impact when actual anti-semitism is pointed out.

Israeli MKs are saying this and the more I digest it, the more I have to agree with it.

Stopping Jewish settlements = stopping Jewish growth = exactly what Hitler wanted to do. We can talk about the loss of 6 million lives, but there have been 100s of millions more before that. Why should Jews in their own land be told they can’t expand their neighborhoods? If someone said this to you, would you accept it? Sorry, you can’t fix your roads, you can’t build a new school, hospital, police dept. And don’t think about having children either. We have no place to put them.

That poll is very telling. 501 people and who are they, I want to know.

Every Friday, the Israeli papers publish a national poll catching a snapshot of the public’s mood. This week’s poll is unequivocal in showing major public support for an end to the settlement foolery. This gives Bibi Netanyahu the political cover he needs, if he wants to transform, but as the Friday commentators also point out in the Israeli papers, whether his own personality and personal history trap him in the paradigm of the past is the question of the moment….as one top Israeli commentator says, if he doesn’t respond to Obama’s program, the current government is on a collision course that puts it on a trajectory for toppling and soon….the right politician in Israel (with help from Israel’s friends) can capture the current mood and make progress —Here is the poll:
