Bibi Surges in Israeli Polls
Breitbart ^ | 1-30-2015 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 01/30/2015 7:30:30 AM PST by sheikdetailfeather

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is enjoying a surge in the latest opinion polls of Israeli voters. The Jerusalem Post reports that its latest poll shows Bibi’s party, the Likud, is leading the race for the first time in weeks. Other polls agree, and show the Likud leading its rival, the Zionist Union, which is a combination of the Labor and Hatnua parties.

The Post attributes Netanyahu’s improved showing to the cross-border conflict with Hezbollah, which attacked Israeli soldiers earlier this week, killing two. The attack was a retaliation, likely orchestrated by Iran, for Israel’s strike on a Hezbollah convoy in the Syrian Golan Heights earlier this month, in which an Iranian brigadier general was also killed.

"However, this is also a week in which Netanyahu has been the target of withering criticism from the American and Israeli left over his decision to accept Speaker of the House John Boehner’s invitation to address Congress in March. If that has harmed Netanyahu, it has not prevented him from taking the lead–and it may even have rallied Israeli voters around him."

“On the other hand, polls show that the coalition of parties opposing Netanyahu is losing badly to the coalition that might restore him to power.”

The bottom line here is the bottom line.

Let’s hope that Obama and his idiotic minions keep up the inadvertent good work on this front. See, Obama can accomplish something good even though he was trying to accomplish something bad.

May Barry have many future weeks as bad for him as this week is turning out to be.

Obama has the Midas Touch in reverse like Bubba. The guy they back tanks more times than not.

Maybe Israeli Liberals aren’t as good at voter fraud as the Liberals HERE.

Harmed him? Israel hates Obama. I'm betting this recent raise in the polls is more due to Bibi standing up to Obama than the recent skirmishes with Hezbola

Obama seems to be causing the polar opposite reactions of what his intentions are.

I wonder why, After all, he is the smartest man on the planet and the smartest President ever elected - as we were assured after his election in 2008!

Since you don’t hve to be a citizen to be POTUS, Bibi might want to put his name in the hat for 2016.

Thug Obama has a hard lesson to learn. When the consequences of pleasing him will end in obliteration, he has no power to make people go along to get along, regardless of his threats and diablolical deeds.

Good for Bibi and very good for Israel. Hard-nosed, capable realists are in short supply in this world and are spectacularly absent from government leadership. I wish we had a president like Netanyahu.
