But don't think that Bibi won this election in the last few days. The polls were, quite clearly, wrong. It's easy from our comfortable, safe, countries to accuse Mr Netanyahu of scaremongering with his claims that the world is out to get Israel; the problem is that, from an Israeli perspective, it happens to be true.
President Obama is indeed selling Israel out for a deal with an Iranian regime bent on destroying Israel; when Israel defends itself most of the world turns on it. Israelis live in genuine fear not just of terror but of obliteration. So Mr Netanyahu's campaign struck a chord. It was security, not Isaac Herzog's domestic issue focus, that won out.
And don't fall for the idea that, because he still needs to build a coalition, this wasn't a win for Mr Netanyahu. It was a clear win, all the more so for being unseen by almost every observer. Far from leaving the stage with his tail between his legs, the Israeli PM is now firmly ensconced, once again in a position to set the Israeli political agenda and see off all comers.
Duck, here's what you gotta understand about this place. Guy like dave, acebb and joe don't care about the people of Isreal or anything about Isreal. They are only happy because they think it's an obama loss. That is the mentality you're dealing with down here.
Just think....obama wipes the floor with their candidates twice, and then in betweeen they get a wave of governors, those guys all turn out to be a joke....then they get a takeover in Congress and those nitwits are failing miserably again. This is the best news they've gotten since 2004....and look how they handle it. An election in a different country is a massive victory for people that hang here.
100% truth! They are sick people. They support tyrants, Kings, communists, etc... as long as it's against their own President. Just the most low class, disgraceful people on the planet. It's not a surprise they are the biggest domestic terror threat we face. They hate Obama more than they love their country. It's crazy. There is absolutely no doubt we would be going to war with Iran if a Repub was elected Prez. Crazy people.
Non necessarily so! The dopey Obama administration just shoved another member of the Cook County Crooks down the throat
of war-torn Ukraine. Natalie Jaresko, Ukraine's new finance minister was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs.
The 49-year-old former banker, only got her Ukrainian citizenship the day she was appointed minister in December.
It is laughable to say the least. Ukraine is going down, thanks to Obama.
Everything Obama touches always turns into Libya. He just shouldn't speak for the United States, certainly not for the the melting pot
of mostly western european immigrants who were able to elevate the US to the greatest economic power in the world during the 1st half of the 20th century.
Even the blacks in this country have suffered under his administration. I don't even think someone of Kenyan Muslim ancestry should be allowed to speak for the millions of bonified American Blacks whose ancesters came here in the 18th & 19th centuries & are a real genuine part of the American story and have made great strides in this country before anyone ever heard of Obama.

Hysterical.
Yeah, Chris Christie and Scott Walker totally turned out to be jokes!
And, the party that took control of Congress in, January, is totally failing!!!
You are so fucking dumb it is boring pointing it out. You can't post here without making up ridiculous shit. They probably taught you that when you got your masters though.
LOL!
This is a sign Netanyahu's victory has actually made the world a better place already:
JPOST – Obama administration officials have publicly questioned the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for months, but on Wednesday, they largely remained stoic faced with questions on the prospect of two more years forced to work with the man.
Privately, the White House is expressing deep disappointment with the result of Tuesday’s elections, which they believe reinforces some of the greatest points of tension inflaming the relationship between Washington and Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s comments on the eve of the polls, apparently backing away from his support of a Palestinian state, particularly irked the president’s team.
Senior US officials were caught by a genuine sense of surprise with word of Isaac Herzog’s trouncing, as they had been relying on the same local polling data available to the public, two such officials told The Jerusalem Post. Other officials declined to characterize the White House reaction, reinforcing a generally muted and controlled response.

If it's bad for Hussein, it's GREAT for America and the free world.

The reason you're an ANTI-SEMITE is you never, not once criticized anything the Palestinians ever did. Why should they be rewarded with a State? You can't name one action Palestinians ever took that showed a desire for peace, or any resolution to the conflict that left Israel standing. NO ONE HERE EXCEPT SPAMMY IS TOO NAIVE TO SEE YOU FOR WHAT YOU REALLY ARE!
Ah yes the spelling and grammar police on a gambling forum shows up again.
Is everyone that disagrees with you a jew hater? Nothing I said to him isn't true. These guys don't give a fuck about IsrAEl, jews or anybody....they care about hating obama. You should save some of your lectures for them.
And you should not be the interact police either....considering you have several back n forths with know lunatics like joe and acebb.
