PM Netanyahu's speech was just political.
Reader comment on item: Assessing Binyamin Netanyahu's Speech at Bar-Ilan University
Submitted by M.D'Souza (United States), Jun 15, 2009 at 20:07
It pleased Obama. So he is off PM Netanyahu's back for the time being.
Now the ball is in the court of the Pal-Arabs. They have already expressed their seething rage at the speech the Israeli PM gave.
All these peace overtures made by Israel towards the Pal-Arabs are like pearls thrown before a swine, who only stomps over them. Let the West notice who really causes unrest in the Middle East. Let the Saudis too realize that their Peace Plan is already the toilet tissue of the Pal-Arabs.
