Can Bibi Netanyahu Ever Be A Peace Partner?

Obama-Netanyahu

He’s so intransigent. Josh Marshall calls him “Fool on the Hill.”

For years the top generals in the IDF have agreed that Israel can handle withdrawing to the 1967 borders in military terms. But PM Netanyahu says that’s impossible because those borders are not defensible. It’s an amazing level of denial, intransigence and self-destructiveness on display today — something the pre-statehood and early statehood Zionist leadership was seldom so vulnerable to.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama seem far apart on the road to peace.

In an unusually sharp rebuke to Israel’s closest ally, Netanyahu told Obama his endorsement of a long-standing Palestinian demand to go back to Israel’s 1967 boundaries — meaning big concessions of occupied land — would leave Israel “indefensible.”

“Peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle East reality,” an unsmiling Netanyahu said as Obama listened intently beside him in the Oval Office.

He insisted that Israel was willing to make compromises for peace, but made clear he had major differences …

Professional wrestler Randy “Macho Man” Savage died after his car spun out of control while having a heart attack in Florida. Randall Mario Poffo was with his wife of one year, Lynn Payne, who survived. Both were wearing seatbelts.

“He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he’s happy and in a better place and we miss him,” fellow wrestler Hulk Hogan said Friday on Twitter. “We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one.”

Twitter queen Alyssa Milano was …
