replacements. The head of the Labor party already spoke of that.

The fact is that if the extremes on either side were happy, it would be worse - it would mean that Kerry's ideas (he is NOT giving more than parameters) are too unbalanced. As to where some on the extreme are can be seen by following their comments - one deputy defense minister has said that we should not even speak of the West Bank and settlements, but greater Israel and Palestinian enclaves! There is no reasonable compromise that people like him will ever accept.

In the last election Netanyahu's Likkud created a joint list with Avidor Lieberman's RW party - these extremists are actually to the right of Lieberman -- and their Lieberman is worse than ours!

Note that Netanyahu just released more prisoners - if he saw no promise in the talks there is no way in Hell he would have done that.
