I really did not expect to see an article about this subject on hubski. An additional reason for me to follow you!

As an arab israeli who was born and raised in Israel, I have loads to tell about this subject.

But for now (and as I am in a hurry), I can only support what @b_b said. Netanyahu is playing a time game. The longer the "peace talks" take, the deeper the kraken called settlements can dig into palestinian soil, and the harder it makes those peace talks.

No one is doing anything against this guy. Therefore nothing will change. As long as the money flow (and it does flow pretty strong) into israel from the US, nothing will change.

One of the reasons I left this country was due to the politics (used to be politically active as a teenager - Hadash). And I still dislike how everything is shifting to the right-wing all the time. And now you mention that Liberman wants to candidate for MP, that would be the end of my people (the arab israelis, or Arab 48 es we are sometimes called).

plitnickm (the author, Mitch Plitnick's, personal account, I believe) posts a lot about the politics of Israel. I'd say he's my main source of info on the subject recently. You may also check out BorgoPo, who posts from a publication (s)he is involved with, Souciant. They also have really great articles on the Mideast now and again.
