As she walked along Tel Aviv’s long stretch of boardwalk Wednesday afternoon, the mounting returns making clear that Israel’s next government would be right-wing, Bridget Gottdank thought back to another time she cast a losing vote for a liberal candidate.
“All day I’ve been thinking about 2016. When I found out [Donald Trump] was elected, it was this dumbfounded feeling, like this doesn’t feel real, I can’t believe he was elected,” she told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “That’s how I’m feeling now.”
Gottdank moved to Israel from Philadelphia 10 months ago, midway through what is turning out to be an interlude in the tenure of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. An unusual coalition had united to oust him from power, giving at least some Israelis — and many American Jews — hope that the country would take a turn to the center after 12 years of right-wing governments. Tuesday’s election not only positioned Netanyahu to return to power but delivered a stunning vote tally to an extremist party, giving its leader, Itamar Ben-Gvir, potentially significant sway over the country’s future.

Gott sei Dank that Gottdank is a perennial loser when it comes to voting.

Awwwww, lemme guess. She loved her some Bronco Bama, though.
Amiright?
The enabler of the worthless JCPOA?
Maybe some Shrillary, too.
Probably.
Poor girl has severe TDS - guess Bibi is too far to the right as well.
Classic liberal think, “How can so many people be so wrong except me?”

We should be in awe of her brilliance.
Israeli from Philadelphia 10 months ago? This article is a joke.
You know there is a reason they say, a Puerto Rican in NYC is more jewish than a Jew in Philadelphia or San Francisco…
because at least some can discern the success of Trump’s Abraham accords which were made between Israeli and somewhat honorable arabs, vs the bad faithed, cynical and insincere democrat Clintonistas joke attempt to make Israeli friends with arabs through the worst kind named Arafat.
I am starting to think that liberal jews are these types of racists who never want to be around arabs but will be blackmailed easily thus into supporting the worst of them politically.

I suppose it is all the better for them as a cover to moralize those jews who would retaliate then violently against said terrorist now labeled as an arab… and to look the good part next to the arabs too by supporting an antiarab arab terrorist hypocritically looking good there too.
