One pressing need Netanyahu DOES NOT feel: that of demonstrating that he 
is hawkish than the worst hawk.

Thus he is in a better position, paradoxically, to accept a new balance 
in the US-led Middle East caucus (which includes, let us not forget, 
Arab leaders as well as Israeli leaders)

I think it was Jim Farmelant (or Fred Feldman?) who posted on this list, 
once, the enlightening article by Z. Jabotinski where this leader of the 
"revisionist" wing of Zionism openly advocated for NOT CONSIDERING THE 
ARABS STUPID BABIES THAT COULD BE FOOLED BY THE LEADERS OF THE ISRAELI 
COLONIAL ATTEMPT.

This is realism, indeed.

Maybe Netanyahu can display a lot more realism of this kind than the 
"progressive" murderers of Gaza.
