In the 1990`s CNN was talking about a new leader for Palestine. They spoke of him as an extremist, rigid, and predicted trouble.
So, I go up to a Palestinian-Canadian I worked with and asked him what he thought of Netanyahu. I was surprised by his answer.
He wanted an extremist to run Israel, a person who would provoke and push for a fight. Because things would have to get a lot worse ... before they get better.
This time though ... an uncooperative leader in Israel means missing the Obama boat. |
