Listening to the news for the past week, one would have thought Bibi didn't stand a chance at reelection. Just goes to show the news channels don't always get what they want.....

it was fun listening to Hannity pump up Bibi for the past week.  He even did call ins from Israel basically campaigning for him.

 

Glad he won, but it was a marginel victory.  BTW - their version of gov't is different from ours...he still has hurdles.

Yep Bamboo, I was thinking the same thing, he somehow has to figure out a coalition and he already said he won't work with the Zionist Party.

Power could fall to one of the lower candidates.

I was right.

when common sense prevails (and you don't agree)....some will call it fear out of ignorance.

Personal, I think it's a mistake. He has managed to polarize half of our country and a big swing back to the Left - which usually happens in presidential years - could resort in a real lack of support for Israel.

He'll keep building colonies, keep crushing the resulting rebellion, which keeps the Muslim world pissed off... and in the long run ends up fueling radical recruitment.

I was right.

are you sure about that? the last election cycle in the US that I remember, republicans pretty much cleaned house.

Yes, as they normally do in non presidential election years.

But a black man named Obama has been elected twice, so it's obvious that all election aren't equal.

Hispanics and women vote in presidential election, how does the republican party look to them?



-------------------------
I was right.

Bibi might as well have been Tea Party, claiming in the last desperate moments to the far right that "leftists were busing in Arab Israelis to the polls". Funny stuff.

But with Bibi's swing to the right and most dramatically his position against the possibility of "two state", Israel is becoming more and more isolated.

There will be more blood.

And Israel's policy of colonizing the West Bank will continue to alienate anyone with any sense of fairness.

I think I misunderstood what you were saying, because bibi had nothing to do with Obama winning the elections or how republicans are viewed by minorities and women.

edit: What did Obama's race have to do with ANYTHING we were discussing?



Agreed. I also hope they will give on the Palestinian state.

Yeah I agree bee bee should quit making settlements in his own country; then giving them to out of control anarchists to destroy. Oh, is that like section 8 in Amerika? Dang those pesky libs hate everyone , what a bunch of haters unless they are your mortal enemy, then they defend their right to existence.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I imagine this move will cause irreparable damage between the US and Israel, seeing how he won in such a convincing manner, but in my (very novice) opinion on the matter, a Palestinian state is the only solution.

Sorry.

Settlements in his own country?

The West Bank is Israel?

Lunatic.

Yo wook genius go back to UN resolution stating the boundaries of Israel.  Do some research

The West Bank is an occupied territory with Israel as the ruling power.  The international consenus is that it should become a Palestinian State.

Go ahead and find something that says the West Bank is part of the nation of Israel that has significant international support.

You can't.  Because you are way, way out of the mainstream.
