I guess it's a matter of perspective. Sure Netanyahu pulled out all stops, because he was under intense attack and was in danger of losing. But, that's what Netanyahu has been good at doing ... "Pulling it out of the fire" ... :-) ...

As I was telling someone else who was wondering if Netanyahu was "truly behind" and if the polls were fake ... I said the following ...

No, I don’t think they were. Both Netanyahu and his party Likud were really worried. It looked like Likud was getting ready to throw him out of the leadership position if he lost. I even heard that Netanyahu told some in the party that he would resign if he got below a certain threshold of seats (I think it was “18”).

What Netanyahu did was to “pull out all stops” and radically changed his campaigning at the very end ... and he finally did pull votes from the Nationalists (in general) over to the Likud. Netanyahu went “all out” at the end.

I didn’t see any Jewish papers calling America assholes for electing a muzzie terrorist sympathizer after 911.

Nice use of weasel words by the Slimes. Imagine if some other paper did such to attack Obama?

“President Obama, known homosexual and communist, today...”

That paper’s office would be firebombed.

He played his cards and I am glad it played out well for him, and Israel.

So Obama operatives in Israel and the world press gin up the pre-election polls in an attempt to sway voters and are surprised by the actual results.

Shocking.

Had the news of both zer0 and the MSM working hard to defeat Bibi not gotten out, the results quite possibly could have been different.

"Mr. Netanyahu showed that he was desperate, and craven, enough to pull out all the stops."

As opposed to democrats here in the U.S. who are ALWAYS fair and aboveboard when they're running for office, right NYT?

What a bunch of crap.

I’m probably the last one to realize that this is why obammy didn’t want Bibi to speak to Congress. It gave him a big boost back home just before the elections.

Did anyone expect the deranged leftist “editorialists” to congratulate Netanyahu? The Times behaves predictably. They at their core feel a terrible injustice has been imposed on the Palestinians and bemoan the existence of an Israel which will not acquiesce to its own destruction. Face it. No serious Israeli leader will ever embrace the absurdity of a “two state solution” that the Times so eagerly and naively promotes. The establishment of a self governing militarized entity of hostile Palestinians in adjacent Gaza has been a strategic disaster. An even larger Palestinian state composed of the West Bank and Gaza with Israel confined to pre 1967 indefensible borders is not a viable option.

When I was in Israel, the JP just re-printed whatever showed up in the NYT and WP.
Clearly something has changed.

No matter how you cut it, the Dems who didn’t attend Net’s appearance before Congress are having crow for lunch. They showed their contempt...not for Net....but for Israel. Fools...Obama’s minions...

The New York Times just wants the Jewz to go to the gas chambers as quietly n meekly as they did in the 1940’s.

If the NY Times’ editorial staff and/or reporters assert someone is bad, chances are about 95% that the person is good.

America’s “Senile Grey Lady” acts out her inner ‘Rage, rage against the RIGHT’ - - - may my English professors forgive me for that last one.

The New York Times just wrote it’s most embarrassingly vile and stupid editorial ever. Their mean-spirited assault on Bibi exposes them for the Leftist ideologues that they are.
