Bibi’s wasted year in office

Compared to former great PMs, Netanyahu has done almost nothing so far

Let’s assume for a moment, just for a moment, that tomorrow, in two days, or in a week, Benjamin Netanyahu will be completing his current term as Israel’s prime minister.

Or else, let’s assume for a moment, just for a moment, that the prime minister will be seeking to sum up his first year in office. What will he be bringing along with him to the first year celebration? What will he be presenting to the people of Israel? What will he be saying that will elicit applause and impressed chants from the citizens of this country?

An honest and frank examination of the first year in Netanyahu’s second term as prime minister shows that he has (almost) nothing to “sell” us: A little work in safeguarding the State of Israel’s economy in the face of the global financial crisis (although most of the praise here is due to his term as finance minister.)

But what else? Even his greatest supporters cannot point to any series of achievements. Did I say a series? Not even one!
