30? That’s two more then when I fell asleep. Can’t wait to wake in the morning ,maybe theyll form a coalition already ! LOL

Netanyahu was, shall we say, exaggerating. Hey, it’s election time.

[Spktyr]

Now, time for Israel to start investigating all those foreign influence dollars that suddenly showed up in ZU’s coffers...

[Star Traveler]

Well, from our perspective, we might want that ... but Israel has their own issues to deal with and in addition to Iran and Hamas and Hezbollah, they’ve got a bunch of domestic issues ... which just about caused Netanyahu to lose. They’ve got a boatload of their own problems to fdeal with.

ValJar is mad . . .

Zer0 is crying . . .

Axelrod is flustered . . .

The Lame Stream Media is having a fit . . .

Arabs make up TWENTY PERCENT OF ISRAEL? man man MAN....blacks only make up 15 percent of the population here and we got a black President. Time is not on the side of the Jews. They better throw that nuclear punch at Iran before its own electoral process cuts that arm off.

Yes but does anything ever come out the way Obama wanted?

Only when he has Boehner and McConnell on the other side of the table.

[The Antiyuppie]

“Yes but does anything ever come out the way Obama wanted?”

Unfortunately, yes.

[matthew fuller]

I agree with your reasons, but I credit backlash against obama’s active interference as a considerable factor as well.

Catching AP news at 10 PM PDT, they went straight to puffing about the Shrock story, then got to election and said it was a dead heat and could take 4-6 weeks to sort out and that Bibi would have to be more moderate in light of the results against him.

Why am I not surprised?

Won’t get a good night’s sleep until after November 2016...

America was teetering in 2008. The scales tipped with the inauguration of the Muslim-Manchuirian-Trojan-Horse-candidate.
Bambi has done his very best to make the US spiral downwards, out of control without personal culpability. He should have been impeached years ago but the public put the dunce back in the WH.
For those who thought GWB was “dumb” look at the performance of the current POTUS.

Israeli BIASED Media reported a tie or a one seat difference when voters went to bed, local time. In the morning, the true devastating effect to Israel's elites and LEFT media were revealed. It's like Lincoln's old saying about not fooling all of the people, all of the time...

[huldah1776]

I wondered if the Israeli media was as evil as ours. Do they have any conservative television? We have Zero.

[TADSLOS]

Excellent news!

[huldah1776]

I was just daydreaming about living under the service of Netanyahu. Brings tears to my eyes. As a military mom I prayed for good commanders. His boot camp DI was a Christian and had a good influence on him.

Influence was lacking in the last 2 campaigns except for Palin who proved to be too dangerous for the GOP. Why any of us thought that reaching-across-the-aisle Mccain had a chance I don’t know. I hated the way the dems got away without even a little questioning, no advertising about communist policies.

The time is past for educating the masses. They don’t even know they are chained and in cages, literal slaves to DC.

—— it appears as though Eli Yishai’s Yachad party will be left out-—

I think this means it did not get 3.25% of the vote. But isn’t the total number of seats fixed?

I don’t understand

[C19fan]

If the Israeli Arabs really wanted to cause trouble they could. They make up 20% of the population. If a significant minority of that 20% of the population actually worked to undermine the state that country would be a living hell as one saw in Northern Ireland, Argentina, Central America and now Iraq.

[Netz]

Israel has no real Conservative TV. No FOX News. All of the 3 main channels (CH 1, 2 and CH 10) are kind of like the old CBS, ABC and NBC of yesteryear. They are ALL biased, all Left-wing, anti-religious, anti-Nationalistic and PRO-ARAB.
They hate Bibi, his wife and family and they deeply resent the fact that he won the elections after Rabin's assassination in 1996. They see him as an outsider, renegade Capitalistic Pig and not a former Socialist, Monolithic leader like Shimon Peres.

[wtd]

It's highly unlikely Netanyahu would comply.

  Barack Obama ran for president as a pro-Israel candidate -- but his record tells a different story.

  *****

  Given this administration's failure to alter the course of Israeli elections yesterday, anticipate the wounded ego of the current occupant of the oval office to turn up the volume and frequency of political attacks against her.
