I wouldn’t go that far. It’s always been the Bibi (and Israel surviving) effect. In any effect, well done!

Benjamin is THE man for all seasons and the ONE whom President Donald needs to emulate and keep close to his heart!

That being said, how despicable are ALL the politicians who are claiming to be Jewish but cling to the far left of the American political rail?????

Netanyahu: a blessing for Israel & a PITA for Obama until the end of his shabby reign.

When Trump is elected, expect the `Arab Street’ to explode. Popcorn stashed & ready.

Bibi Is a stand-up guy, and a great leader.

from the article:

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - “He’s a magician, he’s a magician,” the partisan crowd chanted as a beaming Benjamin Netanyahu strode into his party headquarters a little over a year ago to declare a come-from-behind victory in Israel’s election.

Now, with the expected entry into his right-wing government of ultranationalist Avigdor Lieberman as defense minister, it looks like Netanyahu, in his fourth term as premier, has pulled off another piece of political sleight of hand...”

You’ve got to love these biased headlines. Even the article admits that Netanyahu crushed his opponents. He’s built a coalition of the majority of the Israeli parliament (which I’ll remind everyone is the only elected government in the middle east), so it sounds to me like he has a broadly popular platform. But noooooooo, the majority of Israeli parliament (and by proxy the majority of Israeli voters) are an extremist government with a very narrow coalition.

I’m sure Obama has already sent him a warm note of congratulations.

Obama and Hillary must be terribly upset at these “upsets” which are really just a reflection of the people’s will.

Enter stage right, Trump.
