Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won an unexpected election victory, leaving him poised to form a new government and continue in office. What appeared to be an increasingly desperate and repugnant bid to hold on to power turned out to be a remarkably shrewd strategy. No one in Israel could have been surprised; if Netanyahu took off his mask, it was a mask made of cellophane that everyone could always see through. But by casting off even an insincere commitment to any kind of negotiated settlement with the Palestinians to proclaim that there will be no Palestinian state as long as he’s prime minister — and making a nakedly racist last-minute appeal to supporters by warning them that Israeli Arabs had the temerity to vote — Netanyahu may have initiated a significant change in American-Israeli relations, the consequences of which will be felt for years.

Commies; liberals; progressives; (whatever they're calling themselves this week) have no concept of repugnance.

You mean like democrat candidates going to all the black churches the Sunday before election day telling all the attendees Republicans are racists.

God is good all the time. It is satan who comes to seek, kill, and destroy.

Abraham was Ishmael's father. Before Sara had Isaac Abraham "knocked up" their servant girl so he could have a son. When Sara had Isaac Abraham banished Ishmael and his mom from the tribe.

The hatred of Arabs towards the Jews goes back 1000s of years.

Obama sent people to Israel to affect the election.

Netanyahu should return the favor by having Israelis make a 2016 tour of all the synagogues in the US, stressing the importance of electing a President who will support Israel.
