Subject: RE: Got a take

Just as patterns of immigration are moving the US left, patterns of immigration are moving Israel right. I have never seen anything like Bibi's furious surge to the right in the last 4 days. Nothing like it in America. He had robo-calls calling the President "Hussein Obama, the Muslim," he had ads saying the Arabs will vote in droves. He accused Herzog of wanting to divide Jerusalem. Bibi did not win because of Iran. He won because of race. He cannibalized the smaller parties on the right: Bennett's Jewish Home lost 4 seats, Shas lost 4 seats, Lieberman's party lost 5 seats, United Torah lost 1. That is a 14 seat decline on the right. Bibi gained 10.

The guy to watch is Moshe Kahlon. Slightly more moderate than Bibi, formed his own party and took 10 seats. Might have done better but Bibi doctored an endorsement Kahlon gave him two years ago and made it look like it happened two days before the election.

All the smart guys in Tel Aviv thought Bibi was having a nervous breakdown. In the US you could never get away with those kind of racist appeals. But, man, did it work.

On our side, we focused on trying to hold down Lapid's Yesh Atid, but never really attacked him - a mistake. We also did zero rallies in the final days - Buji doesn't like them and he is not a rah-rah guy. This gave all the bandwagon effect to Bibi.

I am still half-wasted from my hospital stay, and am deeply depressed that I failed such a good guy in such a big race. ________________________________________

Any rational observer, including our own Republican leadership, knows this to be true, so a question begs to be asked; just who are the amnesty pushing Rs working for?

Team Clinton playing God around the world..it wouldn’t hurt for Trump to make an issue out of this..Clinton says she supports Israel but sends her operatives there to effect the elections.

I thought Hillary didn’t like outside forces interfering in sovereign elections

Given the choice between being diluting conservatism out of existence forever and supporting amnesty and being called a racist in a slightly less shrill voice from the left, they’ll take the latter. It really is unbelievable.

“President “Hussein Obama, the Muslim”

Just one of the revelations that a President Trump may bring us, God willing.

Wikileaks proves beyond a doubt that sleazy 'Rats like Begala were trying to interfere with and undermine the Israeli election in 2015! They obviously detest Netanyahu, as they showed when so many 'Rats in Congress walked out on Netanyahu's speech criticizing the Obama Administration's terrible deal with Iran.

And that disastrous Iran deal was and is fully endorsed by HRC!

yes indeed.
just like they are trying to undermine the USA election now with paid hoodlums and gangsters intimidating at the polling stations, skewed propaganda polls, paid shills to yell insults at the R candidate, paid ‘demonstrators’ to disrupt the R candidate’s rallies, false accusations and innuendos, etc and etc

if you want to see where all this worked successfully before, look at the rise of the Nazi party in Germany in the 1930’s

same techniques. funding from similar/same kind of source, too, SorosNazi and Company

SorosNazi was not funding this anti-free-election campaign in Germany of the 1930’s he was too young. But he soon became active working with the Nazi party and he was, most regrettably, a very good student of their techniques.

Yes, I'd have to say that all of the above tactics used evoke the ugly memories of the Nazis in Germany. Let's add the firebombing of the opposition campaign office in North Carolina.

I could be mistaken, but I haven't heard of any of these techniques used by the Democrats in their anti-Netanyahu work in Israel. If that's the case, it's probably because they knew that Israeli law enforcement could not be compromised.

all i recall from the Obama/HilLIARy/Kerry regime’s illegal interference with the Israeli election was that they were sending in sabouteurs in a political sense of the word, plus tons of $$$ trying to upend the government in Jerusalem so Obama could install a sell-out ‘peacenik’ leftist there

it didn’t work, but that does not mean the effort is not continuing ... i hear it is, actually, ... we will see...

the full range of the listed Nazi Party techniques have been used against our own American electoral process ... that is what I was thinking about atually, what the D’s/SorozNazi/etc have been doing to the USA election going on right now here.....

thanks, your point is well taken,
