Breaking: Lying right-wing piece of garbage lies again (Netanyahu)

Israel’s Netanyahu, Softening Pre-Election Statement, Reopens Door to Palestinian State

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Thursday walked back his pre-election declaration that no Palestinian state would be established on his watch, and said he had not been trying to suppress the votes of Arab citizens when he posted a video on Election Day warning that they were heading to polling stations in large numbers.

Mr. Netanyahu said in an interview on MSNBC that he still wanted “a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that he had not intended to reverse the position he took endorsing that in a 2009 speech at Bar-Ilan University. But he said the Palestinian leadership’s refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, and its pact with the militant Islamist Hamas movement, made that impossible right now.

“I haven’t changed my policy,” Mr. Netanyahu said in the interview, his first since his resounding victory on Tuesday, which handed him a fourth term. “What has changed is the reality.”

Watch for the US to withhold a veto on a UN security council declaration that no more settlements can be built by Israel in the West Bank later this summer.

The only reason why he's doing this is damage control. Thanks to him the world-even the US now sees what Israel actually is and he's trying to head off the upcoming blow back. Nothing more.
