Netanyahu is now the leader of what’s left of the free world.
This is a wishful think: “It is the US Congress, the US Department of Defense and the US INTEL community which has had Israel’s back. This will not change...”
The Congress is controlled by Obama’s stooges...Harry Reid in the Senate and his bowing cryer in the House...John Boehner...and with the appointment of Hagel as Defense Secretary...goodbye American defense capability... So just HOW are we going to be able to help defend Israel while China nukes us without any risks (which it threatened just again this week)....because Obama is covertly dismantling our ENTIRE Nuclear Deterrent arsenal...
We could be burning coast to coast just as the Book of Revelations describes the fate of the “Babylon the Great”. And the radioactivity would keep any of our allies away from trying to help any of us be rescued.
Has Obama called Bibi to congratulate?
This guy is whistling past the graveyard.
Israeli ‘moderates’ are quite leftist by American standards, and Yesh Atid and Lapid are far more leftist than the author wants us to believe.
Bibi is ‘strong’ because he has suport to govern from the left.
Yair Lapid wants electoral reform, getting the haredim to serve in the army, helping small businesses and lowering housing prices through more supply.
All of which I happen to agree with and so do Israel’s middle class voters who went for his Yesh Atid party.
He’ll be one of two parties holding down the coalition. The other is Bayit Yehudi, the religious Zionist party of Naftali Bennett.
Help me out a little. To the extent that this is a move “left”, my impression is that the movement “left” pertains to internal politics, not external issues, and don’t represent a particularly large change relative to the peace “process”, or the millenia long European fixation of telling Jews where they can and cannot live. Polite poster that I am I left out whether they can live. Am I wrong that this doesn’t represent much of a change vis a vis the palestinians, or construction in the West Bank, or Iran.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

And here I thought Obama and the US were the same thing. At least Arutz Sheva, a right wing Israeli news source recognizes what many American journalists do not.
Obama disappointed? I’ll bet Carter is too...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKBdP2D3pqI
