Stunned by defeat and still licking its considerable wounds in the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upset landslide re-election, the radical left, anti-Zionist Haaretz has published a lengthy article on the group most responsible for Netanyahu’s win: the young.
It is a striking piece.
Haaretz summed it up this way: Israel’s youth voted in overwhelming numbers for Netanyahu because of “security, security, security – and distrust of Arabs [that is, Muslims], the left and media.”
In the United States of America, this very group delivered a fraud, a liar and America-hater into the Oval Office, not once but twice. Despite joblessness, nationalized mandatory health care that they must pay for, the explosion of jihad, Benghazi, American youth (the poo generation) without thought or consideration elected the most anti-American and dangerous president in American history.
American youth have been systematically misled and misinformed about the grave threats we face. The public school system has long since moved away from teaching the three Rs. Instead, it’s inculcation and dogma. Critical thinking, once fundamental to American education, is discouraged, punished even. Junk science, environmentalism and other such nonsense have replaced the essentials.
Israel’s youth have no such illusions. They live with the threat of annihilation. Genocide against their people, their name, are ululated over and over again by their surrounding neighbors.
What a breath of fresh air to listen to these young Israelis explain why they voted for Netanyahu and reject the fascist hippie elders. I am enormously impressed with how articulate and well-informed these young people are.
Similar interviews in the states are almost embarrassing to listen to. Young people who supported Obama sounded like idiots voting for their favorite contestant on “American Idol.”

When it comes to dumbing down, no one does it like a progressive.
Well, I can’t vote for Bibi but I will vote for Ted Cruz.
Here’s the thing about that. Just about all the youth in Israel have to serve in the IDF ... so they get some first-hand exposure on the nature of “security” for the State of Israel!!
Dittos!
Mandatory military service might have something to do with the discrepancy.
America’s youts seem to be preoccupied with perfecting the art of the selfie. (It’s all about them.)
They just don’t live in the real world. And neither do their parents in too many cases.
Dittos.
Amen! As do I.
And not surprisingly, American youth score poorly on any objective measure of critical thinking skills, math, science, current events, history, etc.
In short: nobody with two brain cells to rub together could have voted for Osamabama even once, much less twice.
BFL
That “dumbing down” thing is what the ‘60s radicals set out to do when they went into “education” in droves - not, as many said, because the field is so undemanding that it left them plenty of time outside of class to pursue their radical interests.
However mandatory military service in the U.S. would include extensive training in LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM, the evils of the Tea Party and the virtues of being a loyal Obamanista.
Ditto.... The man to save America.
All while being a key cog in the democrat machine - the teachers unions.
BTW, great tagline - WWJBD? LOL!
This does not surprise me. Most Israeli youth are probably able to answer the most basic of questions about civics and government and history whereas in the United States (and here in Canada as well) in many an instance you might as well be asking about Einstein’s theories or Plato’s works.
This tells me that at least some portion of the media in Israel is aware that they could all get their throats slit and doesnt want that to happen to their kids. American media works to see American kids suffer that fate 24/7.
as much as Bibi frustrates us here (catering so much to Obama and blocking home construction for Israelis, etc.).....
he nevertheless appears to have Israel’s future in his heart.
His main election opponent this time did not sound like he would defend Israel as much.
If you were young, you’d want a future too.
No kidding! In America in now takes a PhD in philosophy for an American to get a job at McDonalds.
In Mexico and Central America they get the same education by the 3rd grade and are qualified for a job at McDonalds when they arrive in country. And they are motivated to do the job! </Sarc>
