Nothing beats foreigners telling you what you really think.
Former Texas Democratic Rep. [Bob] O'Rourke offered sweeping criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, outright calling him "racist" and an obstacle to peace.
"That relationship, if it is to be successful, must transcend partisanship in the United States, and it must be able to transcend a prime minister who is racist,
Because he thinks that just maybe it's a good idea that the Jewish citizens of his country aren't indiscriminately slaughtered?
as he warns about Arabs coming to the polls, who wants to defy any prospect for peace as he threatens to annex the West Bank, and who has sided with a far-right, racist party in order to maintain his hold on power," O'Rourke said.
Or someone who has lived in Israel for most of his life, who lives there now and who sees things as they actually are a damned lot clearer than some leftist Texan who thinks in bumper stickers.
O'Rourke continued, saying he did not believe Netanyahu "represents the true will of the Israeli people" or the "best interests" of the relationship between the US and Israel. He went on to endorse a two-state solution to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
Bob? The "true will" of the Israeli people is for their Muslim neighbors not to want to kill every Jew they possibly can. Until that happens, what say we let the Israelis decide how best to defend themselves and you sit this one out?
Airhead.

The will of the Israeli people will be revealed later today, when the election results are out. And despite what this idiot says, Christians, Muslims, and Druze are allowed to vote without restriction. -- This is unlike the disputed territories, where Abbas got elected for a limited term and has been in charge ever since, without elections.
