Bibi is merelly Olmert redux, and as corrupt. He cannot be trusted. By contrast, both the Likud Knesset lineup and surveys among Israel`s voters are proof that both Bibi and the deluded anti-democratic Israeli leftist intellgentsia are out of touch with the electorate and have been unsusscessful in their relentless efforts to shanghai Israel into suicidal deals. One can only imagine the political landscape if Israel were a real democracy with direct representation rather than the jury-rigged circus that currently passes for government. Negotiating away the Golan even as Syria awards its highest honors to Sami Kuntar? Not a chance. Serving as Gaza`s lifeline even as rockets are fired indiscriminately at Jews (albeit not Haaretz`s kind of Jews), Never! Give away Hebron and Jerusalem? Unthinkable. As the blessing Bilam gave to the Jewish People declared; "(Israel) shall be a nation that dwells alone, and will pay no heed to the Goyim".
