Jews don't believe in taking revenge, even if it is sometimes unavoidable.

...Israels mainstream media formed an unofficial alliance with the Left's "Anyone but Bibi" campaign.
That aggressive and obviously well-funded political operation was run by the One Voice and V15 (Victory in 2015) organizations, the former of which was apparently financed by the U.S. State Department to the tune of at least $250,000 and possibly much more.
The dirty trail apparently leads all the way to the White House, as the director of V15 is none other than Jeremy Bird, who was President Barack Obamas National Field Director in 2012.

When this vicious campaign became known to all, especially as a result of the widespread publicity gained by the well-attended rally for the Land of Israel last week, there was a strong backlash, and the average Israeli spoke his mind at the voting booth on Election Day.
Due to the polls predicting a Zionist Union victory, many voters who were planning to support the firmly right-wing religious Jewish Home party, altruistically shifted their votes to Netanyahu's Likud at the last minute in order to defeat the Left, but also perhaps as a direct response to the unbridled and unfair attacks on Netanyahu.
Netanyahu, who ran a powerful campaign, especially down the homestretch, can savor this moment of well-deserved victory. As for his nemesis in Washington, Obama and his administration will probably get what for them may be a nightmare, a right-of center and religious coalition, headed by the man they love to hate.

Praying some extra prayer tonight, including a prayer of thanksgiving that Bibi won; another prayer for Mr. Netanyahu's continued health, wisdom and prosperity and another prayer for Israel's continued safety, wisdom and prosperity.
“The dirty trail apparently leads all the way to the White House”
Well that’s a dead end. Especially with this crowd of cowards
running congress. They will have their committees expose everything
the Obama needs to cover up so to ensure it doesn’t go anywhere
and no one is held accountable. Six years of abject criminal
activity from this regime and not one person held accountable
even after being caught in some cases red handed. To expect
anything different is insanity. If there’s no constitutional
enforcement there is no constitution.
Obama’s main beef against Netanyahu is that he is an ally of the U.S. rather than of Obama.
Because of people like Obama, no ally can trust us anymore. They will always fear that another leftist Obama type will be elected and betray them while favoring those who hate the U.S and all that it stands for.
The mess US policy has created with everything Obama has touched is beyond politics. I pray the US can stop the games and find some truly capbable and objective candidates to sort out the mess Obama and his self-centered policy have created.
Beyond disgusted

The entire editorial at Arutz Sheva Israel National News is well worth reading.
Thankfully wiser minds prevailed in Israel's election compared to results the leftist media led many to believe were inevitable. White House involvement and pay-offs to the campaign against Mr. Netanyahu, including to the "Anyone but Bibi" campaign should be investigated.
Somehow I don't think this is going to disappear anytime soon.
Perhaps, now that all the WH’s election meddling has been exposed, the JV team can now be called the VJ team?
Agree. That is definitely part of it.djpg wrote: " Because of people like Obama, no ally can trust us anymore. They will always fear that another leftist Obama type will be elected and betray them while favoring those who hate the U.S and all that it stands for. "
I don't agree. The stage of world politics is a never-ending entity and its consistency will always contain miniscule movements forwards, backwards or sideways, always moving, with barely perceptible changes. However America and our allies must always remain vigilant.

The LA Times needs to do everyone a favour and release the Khalidi tape
Rashid Khalidi is the controversial Palestinian scholar praised by Barack Obama in the infamous LA Times video. The LA Times newspaper refuses to release the video for thin reasons, journalistically speaking. See the evidence and story below.
So who is Rashid Khalidi at the center of the Los Angeles Times Obama video firestorm? Nominally he is a 58 year old Professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University intertwined in Palestinian causes. Outside the resume he has advocated and provided a legal argument for Palestinians fighting violent wars in Israeli lands, land which he still terms an occupation, putting him at odds with UN Resolution 181 in 1947/48 which established Israel and was supported by the United States. He has called for reparations to Iraqis for the Iraqi War.
There is some evidence that Rashid Khalidi served as a de-facto spokesman for Yasser Arafats bloody Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a charge which he denies. Yet whether official spokesman or surrogate, he has done the Palestinians bidding over a long career that has impugned Israeli sovereignty at every opportunity, even serving as a Palestinian delegate during the farcical Madrid conference in 1991.
His controversial statements reportedly caused Princeton University to pull back from a tenured position there. So he remains at the most liberal and (subjective assessment) anti-Jewish institute of higher learning in the nation, Columbia University.
