Netanyahu Soundly Defeats Chief Rival in Israeli Elections

TEL AVIV — After a bruising campaign focused on his failings, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel won a clear victory in Tuesday’s elections and seemed all but certain to form a new government and serve a fourth term, though he offended many voters and alienated allies in the process.

With 99.5 percent of the ballots counted, the YNet news site reported Wednesday morning that Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud Party had captured 29 or 30 of the 120 seats in Parliament, sweeping past his chief rival, the center-left Zionist Union alliance, which got 24 seats.

I think it was Mark Levin late yesterday wondering how long it would take the Grand Kenyan to demand a recount. But the results maintain my faith in the Israelis to understand their situation and support strong defense. They’ve had enough of that 40-years-in-the-wilderness krap.

Neat rendition of BiBi'S win with a scriptural twist.......

"And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the army of Obama/MuslimBrotherhood that came in to the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them... But the people of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of Obama /MuslimBrotherhood; ........... And Israel saw the great work which the Lord did upon the Obama/MuslimBrotherhood; and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant NETANYAHU. ...Then sang NETANYAHU and the people of Israel this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying, ...."I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider, Obama's campaign boss, Paul Begala has he thrown into the sea." ....(Exodus 14:28-1)

The NY Slimes strikes again. Media shill Jodi Rudoren swills:

How DARE he duck when they throw things at his head!

Some never learn...you mess with Israel you mess with the one who raises up leaders and disposes them as well.....this election is another example of people pulling on the wrong side... just as has been done in the past.

[Resolute Conservative]

Unlike the average stupid American who voted for Barry, Israelis probably all do not want people streaming across their border killing them.

Easing their pain over BiBi's win....

Obummer is deeply saddened.

To #15. The “leftist press” likes three kinds of poles:

Exit Polls; Pole Dancers; and “Dead Poles”.

The first are usually wrong. The second are lightweight entertainment; and the third are the forgotten victims of communism (the NY Times likes to “forget” a lot of things about communism).

Does that help answer your question?

Wait. It ain’t over until the NY Times runs an editorial urging him to reach out to somebody or other and be bipartisan, and then the fat lady sings.

[Eleutheria5]

Translation:

“committed to working very closely with the winner of the ongoing elections to cement and further deepen the strong relationship between the United States and Israel”

My interference with your elections didn’t work, but wait ‘til I think of something new to threaten you with.

“and the president is confident that he can do that with whomever the Israeli people choose.”

I’m gonna git you, sucka.

[Eleutheria5]

“Dececent”? We have a new freep word. It means somebody who will cease and desist when it’s plain what he’s doing isn’t working. This is series.

[Eleutheria5]

Really it was George Soros, not some provincial dingaling like Obama.

[Eleutheria5]

Neither can the US. If there’s a US law against interfering in foreign elections, could you apply it to him and impeach him when he obstructs justice? Please?
