Netanyahu has a lot of Palestinian AND Israeli blood on his hands. What will be interesting will be how he attempts to evade responsibility. I suspect that once the war is over Israelis will want his head on a pike. I can't think of a better place for it.
According to Ha'aretz, they already want it. Nutty-Yahoo is trying to justify his position as a "war president" (a la Shrub), but so far it is not working.
