Merkel chides Netanyahu for failing to make ‘a single step to advance peace’
HAARETZ
A crisis erupted between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. During a telephone call this week, Merkel told Netanyahu that he had disappointed her and had done nothing to advance peace, sources told Haaretz.
The prime minister tried to persuade Merkel that he was about to launch a diplomatic initiative, explaining he is making a speech in two weeks in which he will outline a new peace plan.
Bibi should have responded “how dare you interfere in Israel’s sovereign affairs”!. I am disappointed in Bibi as well, but for very different reasons than Merkel is.
Merkel ended her visit in Israel three weeks ago deeply disappointed, a German official said. While here, she told Netanyahu the situation in the Middle East, in view of the revolution in Egypt, made it necessary for Israel to create a peace initiative.
It is precisely because of the current turmoil and volatility going in the Middle East and the uncertainty these changes will bring, that Israel should not be expected to surrender territory and make any deals. We don’t even know whether the peace treaty with Egypt will stand.
When will Israeli leaders learn that the EU is perfectly willing to throw Israel under the bus to appease the muslim world and therefore should not be considered an ally. In light of this, Israeli leaders do not owe any explanations and promises to a Europe that does not have Israel’s best interests at heart.

There's nothing like the chutzpah of a German leader lecturing to a Jew about the need for peace.
I know how Begin would have responded. He'd have told the Germans to go mind their own business. Israel has a doormat for a leader.
When you have no spine and you allow others to walk all over you, it is any wonder the world views Israel with contempt?
Israel deserves much better!
Should he have answered "Yavol, Fraulein." Or maybe he should have said, we lost 6 million Jews to an evil plan and a world that looked the other way,we are not going to risk losing another 6 million because Germany finds us easily dispensable and want to foist another solution upon us.Again,we are to blame.How dare I? The question is"How dare You?" We don't take orders from you. Israel decides for itself.Netanyahu,find your backbone and protect our lives,our rights,our spirit & our existence.Your children,my children and all our children need your strength,your faith and total,guiding loyalty.What does it matter that your children compete or win Bible contests,if you don't defend it and its people. Merkel cares for her oil and fading civilization & not about us. She should feel responsibility & special investment in watching out for Israel, as head of a country that was responsible for the "final solution" & the holocaust.She has no place chiding Netanyahu for failing to kowtow to an ultimate & deadly solution.
