Glad to see majority of Israeli voters...

[Bubblehead1980]

have a brain and did not fall for the outside interference pouring in against Netanyahu, especially from the Obama Admin. Hopefully America will follow suit next year and elected a great leader who will stand up to our common enemies.

This lady owned them lol some of you may enjoy this.

Side note. I plan to visit Israel this summer, can not wait. Anyone on here live there? Visited before?

well since there are more illegal immigrants voting in elections now then American citizens, and since half of those are mindless college kids who have been brainwashed and propagandized by uber liberal America hating socialist academics to believe our country is evil and the cause of all problems in the world, plus less then half the conservatives in this country bother to even vote anymore, what do you think is going to happen?

Adolf Hitler could get elected if he registered as a democrat and the press would make him sound like the answers to every ones problems.

hell the republican party is ruled and being led by liberal socialist rhino republicans that are in lock step with socialist democrats, any conservative republicans are chastised and kept out of any positions of power or decision making. step one is getting rid of the rhino republican hypocrite John Boehner who is really just a socialist democrat who gave Obama everything he ever asked for as long as John Boehner could be the one to take credit for it.

make no mistake about it, until the non-republican republicans can be run out of office, which is at least roughly 60% of the republican party, there will never be a conservative agenda being put forth to bring this country back from its socialist Marxist path it is on.

Please show me the stats that show that illegal immigrants outnumber citizens when voting.

Oh boy, we're on a socialist Marxist path! When can we expect the workers to seize the means of production?

90 percent of Bibi's reelection money came from the USA. Talk about outside influence!

"Brainwashed!" - decries a post filled with dogwhistle terms and media-generated cliches bearing no relation to reality.

"Interference!" - another shakes his fist at the Democrats, celebrating an election win by a politician who just had the Republicans interfere in his fate as directly as they possibly could.

"Israeli voters!" - says the title of another thread about how awful Obama and his Marxist Latinos are.

good rational sensible post. obama is an agent of destruction and in no way has anyone's best interest in mind except his own and that is doubtful. parasites eventually kill the host they live off.

the secular israeli experiment is a failure. a country that justifies its existence and brutality on a biblical mandate and then does nothing to uphold biblical morality is a straw house in a hurricane.

israel is being overrun by sudanese illegal migrants who have no feeling for civilized order, they piss in the streets and terrorize people with their violent impulsiveness.

WHAT THE HELL?

Can we rename this thread to "the loony bin" or "when I'm joking on the internet, I don't use smilies"

I mean is anything of that to be taken seriously?

Is there a new definition of "majority"? According to the results I've seen, Likud only garnered 23.4% of the total vote, less than a quarter of the total votes cast. This means 76.6% percent of the votes went against Likud, hardly a rousing victory by any measure...

It's called a "plurality", not a majority.
To be fair, in systems like Israel's, real power rests with coalitions rather than individual parties, and if you look at actual results, I certainly do not see any sea change or mandate for a shift in values. Social moderate and economic liberal parties are the ones actually in majority. But many of them are willing to work with Likud on foreign policy, for instance. And despite giving Likud a fairly strong mandate to build a coalition, it's pretty clear to me that the majority of Israeli voters are actually leaning very noticeably the other way.

By my count, the actual result of the election says that the Israeli right had a net loss of 4 seats in this election. No other party on the right besides Likud actually gained any seats. All other gains in this election were by centre or left-wing parties, all of which would be considered extremely liberal by American standards.

Perhaps the real story of this election isn't about Netanyahu, but about how the hard left turn on the economy - that many expected, and not unlike one that the recent elections in Greece saw - didn't actually happen. That's the real story - and for many, a surprise, because it would've seemed obvious that the huge increases in the cost of living and deterioration in the job market and public services had to be foremost on the voters' minds. For one reason or another, I suppose that didn't turn the tide anyway. Otherwise, those on the American right are typically disappointed when they hold up Israel as some sort of model society of their dreams (conveniently promoted to them as such by conservative ideologues), only to discover that as politics, economics and public services go, it's about as secular, liberal, and pluralistic as states get. And I for one hope that it stays that way.

Outside influence?

Umm... did Obama speak before the Knesset? No, I think it was the other way around. But I guess that kind of outside influence is A-OK.

And yes, what a great man Netanyahu is. I mean, he must be great to claim to speak for all Jews, right?

I hope he holds to his promise to keep building illegal settlements, and to never allow a Palestinian state. And I really hope he holds on to his Foreign Minister (who doesn't even live in Israel, but in a settlement) who said that "disloyal" Israeli citizens should be beheaded.

Truly, what a wonderful ally we have in the Israeli government.

Netanyahu was INVITED by the Speaker of the House to address Congress in order to attempt to warn everyone of the danger this naive "deal" poses to Israel, the United States, and the world as a whole since there is no reasoning with our terrible President.

Despite the claims, Boehner was well within his rights to do so, the President is not king, has no special power to invite and not invite leaders of other countries.Congress is a separate branch and while "protocol" usually dictates otherwise, this was a special circumstance and highly justified, it was a great speech that caught a lot of attention and showed the bums in the white house most people get it and are not on board with their dangerous policy of appeasement.

Obama's influence was sending the same shysters that helped get him elected to Israel to try and build a machine to defeat Netanyahu because he has made Obama appear what he is when it comes to this issue and clearly shown his dislike for Israel and Netanyahu.Along with that operation is money brought in and the "busing" tactics(I will never forget news showing busloads of ignorant people who had no business voting really during the 2008 election) Netanyahu mentioned the day of the election.They tried to play the race card, but it was a simple fact that outside organizations were trying to manipulate the outcome and a key element in the effort was obama via his cronies.Obama is smart in the sense he knows to keep enough distance he can't be directly linked, plausible deniability is a key thing for him.

Bottom link, was invited to speak and make a legitimate plea to stop a dangerous deal, while other was dirty political effort to interfere in a country's election.Really, apples and oranges when you compare the two.


No, Netanyahu does not speak for all Jews, but he along with those who seem to face reality, understand you can not barter with these people, have his nations best interest at heart.

I hope he stands firm to not allowing a Palestinian state as well, that was always the most ridiculous idea anyways.That land is Israel, the end.Multiple wars have been fought of the years and Israel has endured, overcome, and earned the right to exist. Everyone does not get a trophy, the end.

"Illegal settlements" Again, Israel.

The beheaded comment, not sure if he was serious, bit extreme but understand his view. They are unique situation, surrounded by savages and must stay vigilant.Those who advocate appeasement and giving in to the will of those who seek to wipe them out simply because they claim they want peace, see his point.Disagree but to each their own and not something that has or will happen.

Israel is our one friend in that part of the world.They are a civilized people in a sea a barbarians that have earned the right to exist there time and time again.Our relationship is harmed at the moment due to the anti israeli mentality of the president.While not PC, his Islamic upbringing has really come out as of late.While I personally believe he is an atheist and the christian bit if for publicity, he does have more sympathies towards islam and followers than he would towards the jews.Aside from statements made his his first book, his actions have shown so.

Other Presidents have had disagreements with Israel, it is bound to happen but never seen it like this, I could be wrong have not been around as long as some of you but from what I can tell, like everything with obama, this is different and not in a good way.

[Oberon]

Well, to be fair, it doesn't say anywhere in the constitution that the US has to be best friends with Israel, it's been an alliance of convenience, like all alliances.

Nobody said Boehner didn't have the right to do it - the difference is that it had never been done like this before and can clearly be construed as muscling in on the executive branch agency on foreign policy. Endy story.

Why, Netanyahu has been saying Iran is a year away from a bomb for decades. Even Mossad disagree with him. The speech offered absolutely no alternative or proper criticism. It was boilerplate stuff designed for the electorate back in Israel.

it was a great speech that caught a lot of attention and showed the bums in the white house most people get it and are not on board with their dangerous policy of appeasement.

What do you think the word appeasement means?

Obama's influence was sending the same shysters that helped get him elected to Israel to try and build a machine to defeat Netanyahu because he has made Obama appear what he is when it comes to this issue and clearly shown his dislike for Israel and Netanyahu.

[citation needed]

Along with that operation is money brought in and the "busing" tactics(I will never forget news showing busloads of ignorant people who had no business voting really during the 2008 election)

I don't often get morally indignant but what the hell do you mean by this?

Netanyahu mentioned the day of the election.They tried to play the race card, but it was a simple fact that outside organizations were trying to manipulate the outcome and a key element in the effort was obama via his cronies.

[citation needed]

Also if you want to talk about politicians exploiting racial fears....

That's handy for your argument.

"Illegal settlements" Again, Israel.

Stop it with this. Stop it now.

Talk like a grown-up.

I hope I'm wrong about what this sentence means.
