I can’t remember the specific column, but if I do, I’ll cite it.

Going by pole results, Shimon Peres would have been PM, when Netanyahu against all odds beat him to it, after Rabin’s assassination.
Again the same Loser would have been Israel’s president by a large margin, only to find himself well beaten by Moshe Katsav.
Similarly, the aforementioned loser should have now been the head of the Labour party, according to the poles, again by a fair margin, and what we got instead was Moustache Man.

We attempted to explain this phenomenon here:

(see second paragraph).

And I certainly don’t think that the group that has repeatedly said they will never settle for less than an Islamic-run state–where Jews are allowed to live as dhimmis–are ever going to change their ways.

Actually, I do not think that they are willing to allow Jews to live as dhimmi. It appears that they believe that the only good Jew is a dead Jew.

Fatah (the PLO) used to be illegal. Then Yossi Beilin went behind the government’s back and spoke to them – and the rest is history. Arafat himself received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Anyone speaking out against this insanity is immediately branded a right wing fanatic.

You yourself stopped quoting Carolyn Glick because, in your opinion, she became “too right wing”, when all she is doing is describing the reality here.

Israelis are very “group oriented” also. In America there is a great value placed on the individual, and thinking independently is encouraged. Here, working together is valued, and going against the crowd is not encouraged. When the media is 99% left wing, it takes a lot of self-confidence to push against this.

To a people who are tired of fighting, it is also very easy to give in to wishful thinking. When the left says, “just give in a little bit more and everything will be ok”, it is hard to resist.

With all due respect, I am bewildered as to how I’ve apparently been ignored, but while I was born in the US, I am one the people you speak of, and I have long since learned not to be taken in by the Israeli MSM, any more than the American MSM.

If you’re interested, take a look at this item from Israel National News, which I’d very strongly recommend for reading. And take a look at this one from Israel Insider as well.

Now does that seem to you like a public that’s so gullible, so utterly naive as to buy into whatever the Israeli government does, any more than the American public into theirs? I don’t think so.

If you really think that the Israeli public is as flat-out naive as you seem to, I can’t even begin to figure out what the internet was ever invented for.

Agreed, this is meshugah at its ugliest and scariest.

Sometimes I feel foolish for believing in Israel as I do, since so many of her People evidently do not.

It is still not clear to me what moral value is generated by treating mass murderers as viable “diplomatic” partners. Nor is there any reason to think that “negotiating” with HAMAS can bring anything but more lies, more shame for Israel, and more attacks.

What is clear is that the price for this kind of stupid is written in Jewish blood. May we soon be a wiser and stronger People; may it be that we learn our lessons through agencies other than self-produced catastrophes.

If you want to see something else within about the same vein as Yediot, check out the ludicrous poll the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age did favoring multiculturalism(!) for Australia. As Tim Blair said, it just doesn’t add up.
