The Resurrection of Bibi
It appears that former prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is poised to once again regain that most perilous pentacle of Israeli politics. The devastating stroke suffered by Aeril Sharon and the disintegration of his political opponents has paved the way for this fiery, articulate, potentially “dangerous” and incredibly interesting personality to once again come to the forefront of Israeli politics. I have long been a supporter and cheerleader for “Bibi” and am excited to see this development, especially with the election of Barack Obama as POTUS. Things may be coming to a head soon and I look forward to seeing some history unfold before my eyes. If you think that Israel will sit back quietly and allow Iran to possess a fully operational nuclear weapon under the watch of Netanyahu you may lose that bet. The story of how Netanyahu has led a shattered and bloodied Likud out of the political wilderness of Israeli politics is amazing, and downright inspirational.

When it comes to the survival of the Jewish state of Israel, the best policy is “no compromise, no weakness, no surrender”. I believe “Bibi” to be the closest of the current Israeli leaders to that ideal. And for that he has my humble support and sincere thanks.
