    Why is Israel always asked to make “goodwill gestures” towards the bands of terrorists ?! And more so why does Bibi always cave in and do it? Forget about what the Umos Haolam think and say, you will never get their approval anyway, no matter how many self destructive gestures you make towards them, it will be never be acknowledge or appreciated! Just defend your own people and stop kowtowing to the enemy!

    Makes one wonder what went on behind the scenes. Did Kerry blackmail Bibi with threats to ban flights again etc.?
