How to Explain "Racist" Netanyahu's Unprecedented Support of Arabs?

By Elder of Ziyon

Netanyahu is a politician, and for the past decade, he's been a very good one. His political instincts are what helps him accomplish his vision for Israel. His vision for Israel is a state where the Arabs are treated as equals and given all the same opportunities as Jews in a Jewish state.
