Israel is in tight squeeze with Netanyahu as PM

Obviously, judging by Sarkozy's domestic policy on Muslims and Islam, in reference to his latest comment on Netanyahu, Sarkozy believes his countries experience to be unique.

Hi All,

The PM is not my favorite politician in Israel. I did not vote for the Likud party but supported the centrist Kadima party with Livni at the helm. A very big disappointment.

However, the PM is saying all the right things regarding the "peace process". He will meet with Abbas any place any where to get something going. Since Shalit's release his popularity has increased. He is also an economist my profession and has been a major player in moving Israel into a capitalist country with a blend of socialist "sensitivity" for the medical needs of the population and the social justice that is resulting from the recent demonstrations.

His strength and weakness is his need to be liked and appreciated by the people. As a result under social pressure he will make and/or support reform in the domestic arena that is badly needed including the legacy of local monopolies that has caused artificially inflated  pricing that lends little to free market economy and supply and demand.  These are slowly being dismantled as the new economy rightly insists.

Sorry for the long winded and winding road presented above.

Sarkozy is seen here as a flake and the dishonest leader of France. The UNESCO vote is a recent case in point. Libya and its consequences invading for OIL is another example of his twisted values. There is no doubt  that Sarkozy would put Israel under the bus if he had to for goods and services rendered by Arab and Islamic forces as France enters into the 21st century with low negative birth rate of the indigenous French and the High birth rate of Muslim citizens and immigrants. Islam is going to win in France with out firing a shot.

Obama has always been seen here as problematic as a leader and not  understanding the unique relationship between Israel and the USA.

This is NOT a one way street folks.Much of what Israel provides the US in technology in all areas, intelligence and military soft and hardware is mostly top secret. Including the 80% of the grants the US gives Israel that must be spent on military equipment made in the US and providing about 20,000 jobs in the military complex. The other 20% is used by Israel on R&D for both countries. 

The comments by both men about Netanyahu is not really surprising as this PM understands them all too well and for better or worse is not willing to capitulate fully with their perception of reality.

Aside from the desire of both Hamas and Fatah to see Israel disappear we are thriving in a sea of poverty all around us and the unwillingness of these states in the region to take our help in a variety of ways to enhance the quality of life around us. Their hate for us is greater then their love for their children. Until that changes we are going no where.

The "Arab Spring" is so complex in its development and the Shame base cultures that surround the region is just so misunderstood by the West. Most of these revolutions are being undermined by the long "suffering" of the Muslim brotherhood organizations and their supporters that desire to use Sharia in some form as the basis for justice and social organization in all of the region. This of course means that nothing has changed per se in the right of individual freedoms and the continual oppression of women and minorities. Just look at Egypt and you will witness the destruction of the Christian presence that has been in the region since the beginning of Christianity. 

These events now taking place in the region have little to do with Israel and the Palestinians situation. Everything to do with social control and Islamic control of the region with a new religious dictatorship playing itself out as we witness in Iran.
