Polls Show Netanyahu, Right-wing Surging in Wartime Israel

Two new polls show Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu surging politically in Israel, despite pressure by Democrats in the United States, and left-wing protests in Israel, to force new elections and a change in government

Bloomberg News reported on a new survey by Israel’s Channel 12:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is starting to regain his popularity after struggling politically for more than a year, out-polling main rival Benny Gantz for the first time since the war against Hamas started in October.

A Channel 12 survey conducted on Wednesday of 500 voters representing a cross-section of Israeli society asked “Who is better suited to serve as prime minister?” It found 36% chose Netanyahu and 30% [main rival Benny] Gantz. The margin of error was 4.4%.

Those results were confirmed by another poll from Israel’s Channel 14 — the Israeli equivalent of Fox News in the United States. It found that Netanyahu’s Likud Party is gaining strength and would receive 27 seats in Israel’s 120-seat Knesset, if an election were held today. Gantz’s party would only receive 19 seats. Together, right-wing parties would be able to form a bloc of 58 seats, while left-wing parties would have 52 seats, and Arab parties the other 10.

The ENTIRE REASON that the Neocons allowed the attack* to take place (they didn’t figure it would be a near-genocide, just a few dozen dead Jews), was to get Netanyahu out of power. So this doesn’t bode well for them (not to mention their other recent failures, including Ukraine, Georgia, and Niger).

*calm down, just speculation on my part...but I’ve usually been right in these calls.

Russia is tearing France’s African colonies away and midget Macron is hopping mad. The Eurotrash are crowing about giving the Ukrainians weapons to hit inside Russia bit what is stopping Russia from arming rebel groups in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf with anti-ship missiles to take out tankers and warships? Nothing.

Unfortunately, Netanyahu isn't that right wing. Ever since Begin gave away the Sinai, Likud has been "the stupid party."

Begin, who began the decline, was at least a Torah Jew. Bibi is not. He is thoroughly secular and supports "gay rights."

“The Eurotrash are crowing about giving the Ukrainians weapons to hit inside Russia bit what is stopping Russia from arming rebel groups in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf with anti-ship missiles to take out tankers and warships? Nothing.”

The REAL QUESTION is how many Americans (troops and probably civilians) must die before the Neocons back down. The Zeepers don’t seem to care, but most Americans who know what’s going on there do care.

Bibi is what we’d call a squishy establishment-GOP here in USA. Not reliable when it comes to finishing the job of cleaning up Gaza and certainly not reliable when it comes to the rest of what needs to get accomplished. However, he IS moving the effort forward, albeit with loads of costly compromising. And as such he’s a thousand times better than a couple of Israel’s Quisling/leftist-stooge alternative politicians that keep getting quoted in the mass media.

Who do you think the neocons are here?
