OnTheRocks Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Netanyahu Resigns I understand why he would resign but it seems to me he loses any or all influence he might have still had by stepping down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Gant Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Netanyahu Resigns I understand why he would resign but it seems to me he loses any or all influence he might have still had by stepping down. 401916[/snapback] I believe this is calculated to increase his stature. It will probably force a showdown over leadership of the Likkud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Israelis are pretty unhappy with the pullouts. Posturing and positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheRocks Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 how much more bloodshed will occur by pulling out and then going back in. this will be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I was usually impressed with Netanyahu when he was PM. He was a no-nonsense, it's-got -to-be-like-this leader. If the best course was the status quo, that's what he did. No huff and bravado, then following thru on an idiot plan just to be able to say you're doing something like Sharon has done. If they pull out of Gaza, that gov't is going to be under attack from both sides, Palestinians who'll want ever more, more, more and average Israelis pissed at the concessions.
