Netanyahu's character

Dr. Pipes,

At the risk of offending you, may I say I believe you may be nitpicking--that "small" does not necessarily equate a "troubling" indication of bad character. How many of us have painted with a broad brush only to narrow the context later? Memory does not always serve well. Certainly I have had similar lapses of memory and have not recollected with pristine exactitude. Perhpas if Mr. Netanyahu had checked what he wrote, he may have worded things differently. Regardless, he did predict more of the same sort of actions that took place in 1993.

But more importantly, there is obviously more to your concerns than Netanyahu's "small but troubling" lapse of accurate memory.

What else, in order of importance, troubles you about Netanyahu?
