An Israeli Election Turns Ugly
The New York Times ^ | March 17 , 2015 | the editorial board

Posted on 03/18/2015 1:57:50 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

Israel’s election has done a lot to reveal the challenges facing the country and the intentions of the men who seek to lead it. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s outright rejection of a Palestinian state and his racist rant against Israeli Arab voters on Tuesday showed that he has forfeited any claim to representing all Israelis.

The only ugly thing is a democrat having a temper-tantrum.

You know, all this media propaganda...pushing this ‘racism’ meme around the globe, arab spring to Israeli elections, ISIS, Iran....

If WWIII is really on the horizon, 0bama’s regime and press cabal are beating the drum against Israel.

...his racist rant against Israeli Arab voters

B.S.

Are you saying that it would be okay for an American politician--on election day--to send out a clarion call that "The Jews are voting in droves! They're being bused in by leftist operatives! Vote Republican to stop them from transforming the government!"

Netanyahu also showed up to hold a press conference to further stress that "the Arabs are voting in droves!", but Israel's election board said "no"--that's blatant electioneering and against election laws. So he had to continue on facebook, radio and twitter.

It worked and helped Netanyahu win. But like it or not, it was a racist rant.

Just saying.

The NYT shows its bias, and they don’t even know it is bias.

“racist rant...”
Know your BS sources — no one ever calls the comments of someone they support a “rant.”

Today I woke up, turned on the news and saw that Bibi had won handily.

Yeah, today was a good day.

For the side that loses, every election is “ugly”.

Good thing you haven’t been following FR. It’s been non-stop disaster, doom and gloom, Bibi is going DOWN threads for the last 10 days. Glad you saved yourself the disgust :)

It’s not strange that the party that embraces international dictators would have problems with the results of a democratic election that expressed the will of the people.

Ironically, most of the NYT editors are Jews. But their TRUE religion, that which guides their lives, is Leftism, not Judaism.

That’s not ugly. A Democrat having a temper tantrum is a beautiful thing.

You don't know much about Israel and the Jewish people. I think you are full of it and the Falashis might disagree with you. Judaism and Arabs are not a single race.

Just saying.

Not when they’re crying. They look like trolls. Every single one of them.

You are right.

These propaganda polls need to be banned period.
they are meant to surpress voting .

They were wrong and cooked on purpose by the same far left radical that control the news rooms thru out the western world.

Midterms polls were just as wrong.

That is the sick twisted part.

NY Slimes is owned by self- loathing Jews who act just like Old Johnny Lebowitz Stewart at Comic-Less Central .

Judaism and Arabs are not a single race.

So BiBi rallied his base against citizens of the minority race in Israel exercising their right to vote. Wouldn't that be the very definition of a racist rant?

Or is your point something else? If so, please explain.

Thanks.

Only to people who see everything as race based. That in itself is a definition of a racist.
