In a move that is sure to further “endear” the Israeli government to its neighbors, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loudly condemned the Arab Spring revolutions today, insisting that they were “undemocratic.” Since most of the nations saw demonstrations centering principally around the right to vote for their governments instead of hereditary monarchs or dictators-for-life, the protesters will likely strongly disagree.
Netanyahu insisted the uprisings elsewhere in the region vindicated his government’s harsh stand against Palestinian statehood, saying dealing with the Palestinians was “misguided.”

Netanyahu must be takuing courses in spin to become a Republican presidential candidate.
Ha!! He'd probably win, too… [the republican nomination, at least]
Sarkozy had him pegged.
Sarkozy is no better than Bibi.
Bibi IS an undemocratic movement.
Netanyahu is the world's president and Israel is the world's capital,
What ever he says goes and no buts about it, just sit on your couch,
Have a beer and watch a football or which ever American game you
Like while the goons take over your life, while you at it keep a look
Out for bin laden and his flying carpets?.
Sure, let's not forget that in Israel, war is also peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength. The Palestinians are the aggressors and the jews the victims. Take his viperous word in that context.
Who the Hell listens to this man any more? The same type of Zionist Israelis that have a blind mentality quite like the Southern Shite Baptists that vote Republican based on GAWD, guns, gays and a good dose of racism.
