Upon his arrival at Ben Gurion Airport after the Wye Memorandum signing Netanyahu said that what he did was very difficult, that every centimeter of Israel is worth fighting for, that he is in great pain. He said his heart is with the settlers but you also need your head. That1s politics, not ideology. Chairman Arafat, too, made the transition. Once a terrorist Arafat has exchanged his ideology for politics.
Politicians make compromises.
Ideologues rant and rage. Right wing ideologues in Israel have been seriously wounded by their candidate. Netanyahu was their choice. They feel that they played a major role in his narrow victory over Shimon Peres. And now their leader has betrayed them in the most fundamental way.
