Back in the 1990s I invented the term, “Bibi Peresyahu” to refer to the prime Ministership of Bibi Netanyahu back then. At the time, Netanyahu was trying to outdo the Israeli Labor Party and Shimon Peres in pursuing the Oslo “peace process.” Netanyahu made concessions even Peres had refused to make, like turning Hebron over to the savages.
He signed the “Wye Accord,” after which I dubbed him the Wye’s Man of Chelm. In domestic matters he refused to do anything serious to break up the bank cartel or reform the capital market. His main concern was to be liked by the Israeli leftist media, and that concern caused him to shift to the Left. The same concern later led Ariel Sharon by the nose to the Left and to capitulation to Hamas in Gaza.
Well, Bibi Peresyahu is back. He keeps freezing Jewish building in Jerusalem and its surroundings. A few days ago he announced his backing for a series of anti-economic populist policy measures favored by the ultra-Left, like raising the minimum wage and subsidizing water consumption. Yesterday Peresyahu came out AGAINST any parliamentary investigation of leftwing seditious anti-Israel NGOs operating in Israel. When asked why he is suddenly against this very popular proposal he had earlier supported, Netanyahu without blinking replied, “But what will the goyim (nations) say.” Really. Never mind that the nations have lots of similar laws operating in their own countries for NGOs receiving foreign funding. In the US, any group getting foreign funding has to register as a lobbyist for a foreign entity.
Maybe Bibi can attend the J Street conference so that the Left will like him more?
