How Netanyahu’s victory could alter American politics (Wash Post Crybaby Alert)
Washington Post ^ | 3/18/2015 | Paul Waldman

Posted on 03/18/2015 6:25:38 AM PDT by tellw

Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won an unexpected election victory, leaving him poised to form a new government and continue in office. What appeared to be an increasingly desperate and repugnant bid to hold on to power turned out to be a remarkably shrewd strategy. No one in Israel could have been surprised; if Netanyahu took off his mask, it was a mask made of cellophane that everyone could always see through. But by casting off even an insincere commitment to any kind of negotiated settlement with the Palestinians to proclaim that there will be no Palestinian state as long as he’s prime minister — and making a nakedly racist last-minute appeal to supporters by warning them that Israeli Arabs had the temerity to vote — Netanyahu may have initiated a significant change in American-Israeli relations, the consequences of which will be felt for years.

RE:” Netanyahu may have initiated a significant change in American-Israeli relations, the consequences of which will be felt for years.”

Obama leaves office in less than 24 months and with any luck he wont be replaced by another Israel hating leftist, then we can resume normal relations.

uh, aren't the Jewish people and the Arabs essentially the same “race” biologically?

Any word from this hack about Obama, Holder, and the DNC dividing America up into little tiny bits based upon racial strife, class envy, and social strata?

I thought not. Typical Liberal whining about losing an election while never once acknowledging the most egregious examples of racism and divisiveness on the part of “their guys”.

So utterly disingenuous, and everyone knows it. No one is fooled any more by these leftists who engage in the most ugly behavior and stand around and pose for holy pictures.

Pffft...

that if the Palestinians were beaten down over a sufficiently long period, eventually they’d give up their national aspirations and resign themselves to their miserable fate.

You do not continue to allow cockroaches to live in your house. They are not palestinians...they are Arabs, who are nothing more than lazy cockroaches. Does anyone think that if they were to create an independent "palestine" that it would be any better than the crapholes like Gaza is presently? Would it not be complete welfare state, and terrorist breeding ground ?

There is no evidence to support the idea that an independent palestine would be any different

I wish it true, but 2008 and 2012 proved 50% of Americans are morons.

unexpected election victory

Ha ha. There's there they go again. Another 'unexpected' event, the same characterization they use for all the negative economic data that is contrary to their recovery narrative. Same old tactic.

God picks and chooses his favorites. Prayer, some can pray forever with no results. Others 5 minutes and there’s a miracle. Go figure.

[God picks and chooses his favorites.]

Romans 2:11
For God does not show favoritism.

Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
