Meanwhile, the mainstream media are at a loss for words. They had expected Netanyahu to lose, perhaps even by a wide enough margin to put Herzog in the pole position to form a new government. They had expected economic issues to trump security issues, which were Netanyahu’s focus. And they expected far stronger Arab turnout (as did Netanyahu).
The real loser is President Barack Obama, who undoubtedly hoped for a poor showing by Netanyahu. And the even bigger loser is the Iranian regime, who will now face an emboldened Israeli leader who made the case for his re-election on the grounds of strong public opposition to the generous terms of the nuclear deal that Obama is negotiating with Iran.
The most important immediate consequence of the election is that Netanyahu’s defense minister, Moshe “Bogey” Ya’alon, is likely to retain his post. A thorn in the side of Secretary of State John Kerry, whom he called “messianic,” Ya’alon is one of the few military planners in the western world with a grasp on the strategic realities of the Middle East. He has been a counsel of patience for Netanyahu, advising him not to waste resources on Hamas while Iran still looms as the enemy.
Yet the importance of his victory cannot be diminished. It is the biggest media surprise since “Dewey Defeats Truman”–a remarkable feat in today’s environment of big data, big media and big money.

1. I love the Israeli nicknames, Bibi and Bogey.
And 2. The line about Kerry is priceless! Totally describes him! (and I live in Boston, so I'm more familiar with him than most)
YAY!!!!!....Praise God!
Ha! Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha!
This can't be shouted loudly or often enough...
FU Barack Obama
Celebration. BLUE cheese with the GREEN beer! Lol
I hope Obola and valjar are sobbing like little girls tonight.
Whew, if Netanyahu lost I could forsee more war for Israel and Obama would have demanded Israel show restraint
Worth repeating.
FU Barack Obama
I am heartened by the result, but not believing that Bibi was ever that much of the underdog. That requires me to accept as accurate media polling. That media, by the way, was pro-left and pro-Herzog.
It’s a case of GIGO == garbage data in, garbage results out.
But I am having a beer on this news.
My guess is that the Israelis must not be using Diebold(sp?) voting and vote counting machines.
Obama’s support is like Leprosy, You lose, you can’t shake it. And it makes the Elephant Man look like Robert Redford.
Erin oy vey?
If O and the State Dept. used any of OUR taxpayer money to influence this election then people need to go to prison.
Take that ManBearPig!
Now I have another reason to open up the Connemara!
F.U.B.O.
F.U.V.J.
Better put some ice on it, Barry.
I posted the same thing on another thread! Heck, I’ll double down: Praise God!
I am sure Obama is going to throw a fit and try to get back at Israel / Netanyahu. Any thoughts as to what the cry baby in chief is going to do?
