He's not deluded, is he?
The whole thing worked out very well for Israel.
Their monthly stipend from USers is bigger, the beneficence of the Rapturous Right is expanding exponentially. They're killing lots of Palestinians without any significant objection from the West.

For Israel, qua-Israel, the whole thing was win/win.

Anyone who hasn't thought that the champagne wasn't flowing in Tel Aviv on 9/11 is hopelessly naive.The only group celebrating more than the al-Qaeda leadership was the Israeli leadership.

Maybe you mean he's delusional because he thinks 1=2? Because other than that, he's just stating the obvious here (as others have said).

I do see one delusional statement from him in the article, though:

Netanyahu compared Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler and likened Tehran's nuclear program to the threat the Nazis posed to Europe in the late 1930s.

Netanyahu said Iran differed from the Nazis in one vital respect, explaining that "where that [Nazi] regime embarked on a global conflict before it developed nuclear weapons," he said. "This regime [Iran] is developing nuclear weapons before it embarks on a global conflict."

No doubt the thousands of dead of 9/11 and the hundreds of thousands of dead in Iraq have been good for Bibi.

But they brought about US policies in the Middle East that might prove fatal for the state of Israel.

In Bibi's world, however, L'Etat C'est Moi.

That's the delusional part.

I used to hear that an important question about any world event was "Will this be good for the Jews?" I'm not sure to what this referred in past times, but is this an example of that perspective?

Bibi, you're a yahu, as your name indicates.

they brought about US policies in the Middle East that might prove fatal for the state of Israel.

9/11 didn't bring about any US policies in the Middle East that weren't already in place, though it did bring them to greater prominence. Or prominence here, anyway; the victims (and those close to them) were always well aware of them, and in fact it was those selfsame policies that brought about 9/11 in the first place.

Actually it's a bit odd to see Netanyahu saying this now...it made more sense when he said it shortly after 9/11, but at this point the sympathy effects that made it so useful to Israel are wearing off.

See what happens when WE sell these people guns, and they laugh at US behind our backs as WE hand them OUR money. The Palestinians do EXACTLY the same thing. Stop giving both sides any money or guns.

Actually existing Zionism is a disgrace.

But they brought about US policies in the Middle East that might prove fatal for the state of Israel.

True, dat...
But keep in mind Jno's maxim on the inexorable logic of institutions: that powerful people within institutions would rather see the institution fail than that they should yield any power or stats.

Perhaps another Oslo Agreement? OR an updated ROADMAP is in order? But it don't change nothin', still on the "Road to Nowhere" and getting there fast. Face facts, U&I gots NO reasonable answer for either side of these people.

The settlers seem to be lovely people.

Israel is the rider, America the horse, and 911 the longed-for starting gun.

Well, there's an extremist right-wing-Zionist group called the Jewish National Front.

The Wikipedia says: "The Jewish National Front calls for a state that is more Jewish in practice than strictly in ceremony, including emplacement of Torah laws in place of the current civil ones after the Jewish majority is increased west of the Jordan River. This will be achieved through motivating mass Jewish immigration to Israel as well as encouraging emigration of Arabs through various incentives. While the party openly calls for the expulsion of Israel's enemies (terrorists, as well as terrorism sympathizers and Jew-haters who call for the destruction of Israel) from the state, it does not advocate the forcible expulsion of Arabs. [Front leader] Marzel's activities as a member of Kach in the past decades have earned him the "street credit" that is needed to unite the extreme right behind his movement.

Few doubt the seriousness of his intention to carry out the platform. The party, in the tradition of its predecessor Kach, is different from Tehiya, Moledet and Tzomet or even Herut in that it places its platform in a context of religious obligation, whereas the others are secular parties built around military figures or pre-independence ideologues like Ze'ev Jabotinsky.

When Prime Minister Ariel Sharon enacted the disengagement plan in September 2005, Marzel placed his group into high gear by holding sensational protests full of polemic about Sharon's intention to forcibly remove Jews from their homes."

Adding: and of course it should be obvious that "west of the Jordan River" is inclusive of the occupied West Bank.

Further adding: And it should also be obvious that the refusal to call for the expulsion of all Palestinians is only because they recognize that they can't get away with it, for the moment

Thanks, Rojo. Now I'm more curious than ever to know where the villages are that in which Arnon led those tours. In Israel, I'm guessing, as part of the effort to drive out Arabs.
