Despite–or perhaps because of–the outrage of the Obama administration and left-wing Democrats in Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party continue to surge in Israeli polls, reaching their widest lead of the election thus far, according to a Jerusalem Post/Maariv Sof Hashavua poll. The poll, which shows Likud leading its closest rival by four seats in the 120-seat Knesset, is the widest lead that the Likud has enjoyed leading up to the Mar. 17 election.
In addition, the Post notes, “For the first time since Netanyahu initiated the election on December 2, the proportion of respondents saying they want him to remain prime minister was higher than those saying they want him replaced, 46-45 percent.” The Likud surge is reflected in other polls. Of six polls released in the past two days, according to Jeremy’s Knesset Insider, four show Likud in the lead, one shows it tied with ZIonist Union, and one shows it behind by one seat.
Netanyahu and the Likud received a boost during the border clashes with Hezbollah last week. However, the controversy surrounding Netanyahu’s speech before a joint session of the U.S. Congress next month seems to be helping him as well. While Democrats have charged Netanyahu with seeking to use the speech to boost his election prospects, the Israeli press has focused on alleged efforts by former Obama aides to use U.s taxpayer funds to promote Netanyahu’s political rivals.

My only regret is that Bibi is not running for President of the USA.
Thank goodness Obama isn’t smart enough to understand that he should endorse Bibi if he wants him to lose.
But then again Obama wouldn’t be Obama if he did.
It is a sad thing to say about one’s own President, but the approbation of Obama is becoming a badge of honor.
I’m wondering if boycotting his speech (I mean, being unable to attend because of previously scheduled obligations - cough, cough), will backfire on the Dems with the American public.
Then again, maybe the American public doesn’t know who Bibi is or that he’s going to address the House.
Good for Netanyahu!
Imagine. Egypt and Israel both HATE America which
supports, arms, and aids the Moslem Brotherhood and Iran.
Nice to see the good guys winning somewhere along the line.
In not too many years from now, the good guys will have won, be in charge, and demagogues will be slapped down. What a day that will be. A lot of temporary harry stuff will happen (the false world leader and the Tribulation) just before the permanent good stuff (Jesus Christ himself, the one who died to save the world, comes back as world ruler) is installed. What a day that will be.
“Obama will be kicking things all over his office when Netanyahu is reelected!”
Hope so. Now, let’s see what American Jews will do. Will they at long last abandon the Democrat party and vote the GOP ticket? I’ll believe it when I see it.....
My only regret is that Bibi is not running for President of the USA................................ Maybe he can?? Many Israelis hold dual citizenship. Forget it, the Dems and their Media will find that he may have had a DUI when he was in High school.
A lot of them are JINOs. Jew in name only.
The word "approbation" means approval. "Disapprobation" is probably what you meant.
Michael Beschloss (Presidential Historian): "He’s [Barack Obama] probably the smartest guy ever to become president.”
Don Imus: "What is his IQ?"
Michael Beschloss: "You know that I don’t know and I’d have to find someone with more expertise....."
Bibi would be nice but, at this point, I’d even take Al Sisi of Egypt. He, at least, understands the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Then again, maybe the American public doesn’t know who Bibi is or that he’s going to address the House.”

That is it in a nutshell-—— and that incredible lack of awareness is how Obama got elected twice.
.
Thank God the Obama-Soros-IslamoNazi attempt to buy/rig the Israeli election to get a Quisling sell-out government there, is failing!
Praise the Lord!
That’s a great headline. Made me laugh out loud for real. Well, at least a chuckle.
Thing is, at least when Clinton wanted to get rid of Netanyahu he sent his A team led by James Carville to work for Ehud Barak. Obama has sent his Single-A third string bench warmers to interfere in the Israeli elections, having chased nearly everyone who worked with him in the beginning, middle and end of his campaigns for President out of town. And of course it will backfire just as loud as it did for the Democrats in the mid-terms.
