The last three paragraphs represent, in my opinion, wishful thinking. He has been at the forefront of radical right politics for thirty years+, starting with the whipping up of hatred that resulted in the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. His goal has always been ethnic cleansing with a single state from the river to the sea. The only question in my mind is whether the river is the Jordan or the Euphrates!
