Geez, the liberal press is falling over itself whining about how Bibi schooled Barry the other day.
Here's the follow-up :
WASHINGTON — Israel must seek peace with the Palestinians that will entail “painful compromises” including the handover of biblical land dear to Jews, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday.
Addressing the U.S. Congress after a testy exchange last week with President Barack Obama about the contours of a future Palestine state, the right-wing Israeli leader reiterated Israel’s terms for permanent accord.
“I am willing to make painful compromises to achieve this historical peace. As the leader of Israel, it is my responsibility,” he said.
“Now, this is not easy for me. It’s not easy, because I recognize that in a genuine peace we will be required to give up parts of the ancestral Jewish homeland,” he said, referring to the occupied West Bank.
Though he implied Israel would cede some of its Jewish settlements there, Mr. Netanyahu said other settlements would be annexed as the new border would not return to lines held before the West Bank’s capture in the 1967 Middle East war.
