It prioritizes making settlements "hasbarable." Doing so substitutes for addressing issues responsibly.
Observers call Netanyahu Israel's hasbara grandmaster. He's a con man. He speaks flawless Hebrew and English. He claims Israel is right when it's wrong.
He doesn't let inconvenient facts change his version of truth. It's reason enough for him to be prime minister.
He claims settlements don't prevent Palestinian self-determination. It's "simply not true," he says.
He did so late last year while doubling Israel's budget for expanding them. Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz confirmed it. He ought to know.
He manages state revenues. He prepares and monitors implementation of Israel's economic and financial policies. He accounts for every shekel spent.
He said settlement budgeting doubled quietly. It was done to prevent "elements in Israel and abroad" from impeding them.
At stake is stealing all parts of Judea and Samaria Israel wants. Netanyahu and likeminded extremists prioritize doing it.
