In this circumstance, he is the one who is making the decision and publicly declaring that he will not agree to a permanent ceasefire, that's all. I do remember that the tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living, heh.

I agree it is facile. The rightward shift is maddening, but there are understandable reasons for it.
