Lol, no he wasn't. People here in Israel have always seen him as a corrupt coward.

His party and himself included frequently berate the opposition for being too soft. This is laughable to anyone but an external audience. Probably pretty laughable to them too. I mean is he seriously trying to say he was more restrained than, say, Rabin?

He was also not seen as restrained regarding foreign policy, with high willingness for foreign intervention and expansion of settlements

He sounds like Trump and his hyperboles. Checks out.

This man has been Prime Minister of Israel for what, like 27 years and counting? Israel hasn't even been a country for 80 years.
Like, dude, that's not exactly a long list when you've been its head of state for a third of the time it's been around. You won't be remembered for being restrained either, that's for sure.

ah, the classic trump move, just making up a history that isn't true for your own benefit.

He's among the most aggressive ever. Everyone knows that.
Begin, Barak, Olmert, others. All far more "restrained" than him.

Id argue the guy who was shot for trying to actually work out a tenable peace has that honor.
