Benjamin Netanyahu begins his election campaign

After more than two years attempting to be an internationalist Prime Minister and attempting to negotiate with the  Palestinian Leadership Benjamin Netanyahu has clearly released that there is no hope of achieving peace with the existing Palestinian leadership and has instead decided to embark on ensuring he wins the next election.

After basking in high popularity following the release of Gilad Shalit the Government appears to be again attempting to appeal to it's right wing supporters.  The election results of the past decade have shown that the centre-right are the dominant force in Israel and with Israeli elections only about 1 year away.  The Prime Minister has quite rightly therefore come to the conclusion that now is the time for him to again show that he will protect the security of Israel by starting to finalise plans to defend Israel against Iran by attacking Iran's nuclear bomb reactors.

Equally importantly after realising that there is no hope of peace negotiations succeeding, as the Palestinians have continued its international battle again Israel, and so again supported Jewish growth in all of Jerusalem and the West Bank territory of Israel.

These two moves clearly show that Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to win another term as Prime Minister with a stronger Likud Party by beating Avigdor Lieberman and Israel Beiteinu as the largest right wing part.  Therefore expect to see more policies to support and protect Israel over the next months 

Why are the Palestinians again firing rockets at Israel?

I have just posted an excellent article about how the release of Gilad Shalit has brought about a rediscovered goodness in Israel showing that most Israeli's are united together for a successful and peaceful future led by Jewish thought - even for the less religious.

However, while Israel has been relieved at a peaceful outcome and the return of one it's young soldiers kidnapped for over five years, the Palestinian's have been declaring victory and celebrating the return from open prisons of their mass murdering terrorists.

While it is sad enough that the Palestinian's are celebrating the freedom of mass terrorists, it is even more frightening that they are again firing rockets into Israel.  These rockets which have caused injuries and mental illness in addition to death's must be stopped.  Let us hope now that international community have got their victory in Libya  can turn their attention to stopping the Palestinian terrorists and tell them that if they want a successful future the only way to succeed is through peace negotiations.  For now though I think sadly we will be seeing an upsurge in terrorism.
