Instead of looking on the half empty glass and to appoint all the so called failures of Netanyahu, I choose to focus actually with a optimistic point on the other full half of the glass ,and why? because its only the first 100 days.in Sports they call it the test of the result,the measure is not how and why, the main point is on the final result, and in our case , its still early to summarize the work of the present government, but upon completion of the first Hundred days, it's possible to say that the test of the result totals in one word - success. The Prime Minister established a National unity government in contrast to the forecasts, established a true partnership with his senior partner the Defense minister Minister Ehud Barak and they work together with many compliments poured on each other. Decisions of the governmentare made and accepted together, with consultations and collaboration with every senior minister and coalition partners, without leakages and frictions, without punches and drama,But within unity aim from left and right. The Prime Minister avoids himself from confrontations and from extra expressions, avoids interviews and exposure, focuses in work and in discussions into the night daily. The budget past through in the government, and will pass in the Knesset by a large majority, the lower and middle class will not receive any new cuts, the pensions and benefits were increased and the unemployment rate did not rise in relation to the World. the quite peaceful life is continued in the South with security since then the establishment of the government, the policy positions that the prime minister outlines receive exceptional public support from left and right, the overall approval for the Prime Minister rose astonishment from 28% in the month of May to 49% in late June, the Likud intensifies according to the surveys and in a personal run up Netanyahu receives 52% from likely voters.Yes! not everything passed easily and smoothly.there are still some disputes with the United States on the subjects of settlements and Iran, the budget passed after compromises that demonstrated the prime minister as a Flip flopper and a surrender, but you cannot disown and undermine to simple Facts .and if you want to compare this period of time to the first 100 days of Olmert and Sharon ,it's clear that the Israeli citizens are sleeping calmer and securer today then in the past, there is not a frenetic intifada in the cities of Israel, there are no Kassams falling over the South, there are no losses of our precious children serving , there is no appointed defense minister that watches his troops behind closed binoculars, there is no a prime minister that goes out of every fight or confrontation as a man and Hero , there are no a treasury and Justice ministers, that are sentenced and are accused for fraud and corruption, there are no inquiry committees , there are no demonstrations and there is no capitulation to terror.
Whoever intends to post criticism is more then welcome to look backwards and try to remember what happened over the past three years of the Kadima government ,to remember the Opposition leader's failed abilities to establish a government twice, to listen to the criticism and to the contempt that come out from her own party from senior members, and to read the reports on the concessions and the capitulation at the peace negotiations ,to be remember the conclusions and the report given by the Vinograd inquiry committee ,to see the destruction and the desolation, and to be impressed from the Election results that reflected a time of Change and Hope.
