Taking a tough stance against Arafat is fine, but keep the door open to negotiation is another. Jerusalem is not subject ro negotiation, with Arafat.
The issue of this election was not giving or not giving land to Arabs. The issue was economy and the internal question. We were about to be taken over by religious exterimists, just because Bibi had made a commitment to them in return for their votes! Religious fundementalism was about to domiate the daily life, when to divorce, when to marry, when to travel, when to eat and when to sleep! There was even a desk at the Tel Aviv airport where they were making travelers prey!!
We had a secular state, not and state ran by saints. They can practice their freedom while the secular jews can live their lives without being harassed!
Economy is a mess. Bibi was building settlements for fundemantalist friends in the West Bank istead of spenidng the money in Israel proper to build road, schools hospitals and creat jobs.
