Abstract

Looking at the columns of the liberal media in Israel, one cannot avoid the conclusion that nothing has changed: Again we have a government committed to peace, working ("even against its will") to carry out the vision of Oslo, despite the objections of the right wing, and with the support of Labor and left. It is fully agreed that Netanyahu is building new settlements and pushing the Palestinians out of the center of the West Bank, only as an unavoidable token of compensation to the right-wing, for the drastic steps Netanyahu has taken in the peace process. "Netanyahu has never wanted to build in Har-Homa, but was forced to do that" says Deddi Zucker of the left- wing Meretz, in his vote-of-nonconfidence speech in the parliament.
