Is Bibi Netenyahu the Antichrist?

By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Columnist

Take a good hard look at any on-camera facial expression of Israel’s current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and you won’t miss that ubiquitous smirk. Netanyahu does not smile. He does not look pleasant. He does not seem to have a reason to. He simply smirks.

The hawkish Likud party leader was recently elected again through Israel’s revolving-door style democracy where a politician can become prime minister more than once. Unlike his supposed dovish predecessors of the Kadima and Labor parties, Netanyahu is not coy about his intentions. He does not believe in the two-state solution nor does he intend to compromise with the Palestinians. Recently, he declared that Israel would never give up the Golan Heights (the underlying implication is ‘ditto for the West Bank and East Jerusalem’). Netanyahu also refused to give in to pressure from the European Union and the Obama administration regarding settlement building. In fact, upon his return home, Netanyahu announced that Israel would go on with settlement expansion regardless. In the meantime, the silent Judaization of East Jerusalem goes on with impunity and with little media attention.
