Obama gets his butt handed to him - again. Sadly, the previous whooping was at the hands of the pathetic GOP, so not a loss at all.

32 seats to 25! Wow!

Right wing party Yachad is still below the 3.25% threshold - they are at 3.03% now. If they can make the threshold, it will expand the right’s win further.

Everyone I know, myself included, was praying overtime for Bibi. He had the beast against him.

GOOD NEWS, LIKUD DID BETTER THAN LAST TIME IF THIS TREND HOLDS.

HE MAY NOT HAVE TO TAKE IN ANY LEFTISTS WHO WOULD GIVE THE SQUATTERS JUDEA AND SUMERIA.

ALSO, A STRONG HAND WOULD DETER A BAD DEAL, SINCE ISRAEL HAS THE MIGHT TO ERADICATE IRAN.

I believe it’s more like half the votes counted now. 2.4 million votes tallied already.

There are no hanging chads in Israel.

This is a devastating blow to the Israeli Left.

The dimensions of the Likud victory are truly epic.

Frankly, I think what we see here is Obama’s entire effort to interfere in the Israeli election, as well as their unrelenting and vicious attacks against Bibi over the last 2 months has backfired completely!

I read in the last few days that Likud operatives were calling the president “Hussein Obama” in phone calls and rally signs. There was real anger here!

I’m just glad the Israel election wasn’t tilted by attempts at foreign interference. In fact, if this trend holds, it looks like the attempts backfired.

They need to get 3.5% to enter the Knesset.

Likud operatives were calling the president “Hussein Obama”

And to think that we weren't allowed to use that name over here for 6 years.
