Bibi can never be anything but an enemy to the progressives no matter what he does. He is "right wing," after all. Therefore, he represents every evil their minds can summon.<br /><br />It's a simplistic Manichean equation which serves no real good except to massage their narcissistic sense of superior morality. He's far from perfect...just like every single PM before him.

Are they capable of giving the man his due, ever? I suggest this news story, that his January peace offering to the PA was just like Livni's at Annapolis.<br /><br />http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/diplomania/netanyahu-s-border-proposal-israel-to-annex-settlement-blocs-but-not-jordan-valley-1.413473<br /><br />It's too bad that the "progressives" you mentioned spend so much time looking at Republicans and pro-Israel types they do not like, rather than stories like the upcoming Harvard conference on how to realize a one state solution.<br /><br />http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/152908#.T0KW_fEgd8F<br /><br />This is where I find they drop the ball in trying to advance their cause.
