On Netanyahu and the Entebbe motive [for the flotilla raid]: psychoanalytic explanation was a reflex of our parents' time. It is now is too little used. Netanyahu is the emotionally tunneled sibling of a martyr brother, son of a big man, great man, man-mountain of scholarship (the highest calling for an Israeli). Benzion, now 100 and still enjoying mental ascendancy over Binyamin, besides his massive erudition, was a Zionist of the founding generation. It doesn't get more overdetermined than that. Young Netanyahu's intransigence is not shakable by realities; it is the indelible, memorized practice of the docile offspring of that great house. Even if the American neoconservatives and Lieberman his former chief of staff (whom he may respect and fear half as much as his father) weren't hammering at him day and night, he would be obedient to instructions from the family attic.

Or, as someone once described the late Billy Martin [former manager of the NY Yankees, Oakland A's, Texas Rangers], “a mouse trying to be a rat.”
I wonder if nutty yahoo’s parents were similar to what Raanan Gissim stated,” my father came here with a bible in one hand and a rifle in the other”.
He also stated Arafat is the obstcle to reconciliation and peace, as soon as he is gone their can be a peace”
Well Arafat’s been poisoned (along with sharon), so what happened to the peace Dr, G.
And what about the torah, why would a bible have been brought?
whom are the authors of the bible originally Dr. G.?
The world needs to be deprogrammed from the lies ! the media must be held accountible! To incite such actions against people is criminal ! I won’t hold my breath for the answers Doctor G, you and the past and present administrations of terror here and there must be stopped and jailed for this incitement and lies with constant propagand. ALL THE SIGNS THAT STATE
“we stand with israel” must be removed, If the government stands with them, then put their names individually on those signs, cause we all do not stand with murderous excuses for humans !! would we have signs stating we stand with germany??
Here let me fix that for you anonymous: Netanyahu’s a psycho. That any better?

THUS SAITH YOUNG “BIBI” NETANYAHU’S FATHER: “…The Bible finds no worse image than this of the man from the desert. And why? Because he has no respect for any law. Because in the desert he can do as he pleases. The tendency towards conflict is in the essence of the Arab. He is an enemy by essence. His personality won’t allow him any compromise or agreement. It doesn’t matter what kind of resistance he will meet, what price he will pay. His existence is one of perpetuate war…”
“…The two states solution doesn’t exist. There are no two people here. There is a Jewish people and an Arab population…there is no Palestinian people, so you don’t create a state for an imaginary nation…they only call themselves a people in order to fight the Jews…” – Benzion Netanyahu, 2009 interview

Let’s substitute “Ni***r” for “Arab” and see how that sounds.
“…son of a big man, great man, man-mountain of scholarship (the highest calling for an Israeli)”
Not in any way that I can see. Israelis revere people who’ve “made it”, mostly by accumulating a great deal of money, quickly. Rags-to-riches plus instant gratification. Scholarship? The woeful state of Israeli universities belies any reverence for that.
the indelible, memorized practice of the docile offspring of that great house….he would be obedient to instructions from the family attic.
