On Thursday,<\/strong> The Jerusalem Post’s first report<\/strong><\/a> regarding prime minister Netanyahu’s meeting with Yehuda and Shomron leaders carried these excerpts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are not enemies, and if there things that need to be amended – we will fix them, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was cited by Israel Radio as telling settler leaders, as the two-hour meeting in Tel Aviv on the building moratorium came to its end on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu also took great efforts to reassure the Judea and Samaria mayors that the building freeze would not surpass the designated time framework. Read my lips,<\/em> it will not be longer than 10 months, the prime minister reportedly said. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Read my lips”: Who out there in blogosphere can remember the last world leader to pledge using this phrase?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

For those who don’t recall, it was <\/strong> former President George H. W. Bush<\/strong><\/a> who uttered this famous broken pledge:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Read my lips: no new taxes”… at the 1988 Republican National Convention as he accepted the nomination… <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, this time Netanyahu — that serial pledge-breaker — sought to parrot a former US President in making a promise — renewed and increased Yesha construction after the 10 month freeze — that, like Bush regarding taxes in 1988, he [Netanyahu] has no intention of keeping.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the early talk-backs on the JPost report says it all:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“READ MY LIPS” -Oh Please<\/p>\n

I want to believe Bibi but his record (Hebron, etc…) and this quote does not instill confidence. “Read my lips: no new taxes” is a now-famous phrase spoken by then presidential candidate George H. W. Bush. He then went on to win the election and subsequently raised the taxes…………. politicians \ud83d\ude41<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It should be noted that in subsequent versions of the JPost report on the meeting, the above-cited excerpts, including “Read my lips”, were deleted and replaced by:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Netanyahu reiterated to the settlement leaders, many of whom have expressed doubt over the last week whether he would renew building in the settlements at the end of the 10-month period, that this suspension was “one-time and temporary.”<\/p>\n

“Nine months and three weeks remain to the end of this period,” Netanyahu said. “At the end of this period we will continue to build….” <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, right! <\/strong> Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies…<\/strong><\/a> How much longer will Yosef Q. Israeli continue gullible to the serial lies of Israeli hack governance?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
