Victory for Netanyahu Is a Defeat for The New York Times
Algemeiner ^ | 4/10/19 | Ira Stoll

The victory of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel’s election is a defeat for the New York Times.

The Times threw everything it had against Netanyahu.

The Times’ tone was set in a March 1 column by Bret Stephens, a Pulitzer prize-winning former editor of The Jerusalem Post whose hiring by the Times in April 2017 was interpreted as an attempt by the Times to bolster its faltering credibility among pro-Israel readers. “Time for Netanyahu To Go” was the headline over the Stephens column, describing Netanyahu as “toxically flawed.”

The same column described Netanyahu as “a man for whom no moral consideration comes before political interest and whose chief political interest is himself. He is a cynic wrapped in an ideology inside a scheme.” Stephens wrote, “To have an Israeli prime minister lend credence to the slur that Zionism is a form of racism by prospectively bringing undoubted racists into his coalition is simply unforgivable.”

Between this and the Mueller nothing-burger, it’s been a bad week for the Slimes.

Bibi’s reelection is a defeat for Obama, Hitlery, DNC, AOC, Omar, Ilhan, Soros, the MSM, Iran, Booker, Harris, Crazy Bernie, Madd Maxine, and the rest of the Swamp including the douche bag GOP Elites like Romney, Ryan, Lee, et al.

Prolonging the Netanyahu era would undermine Israeli democracy and bury any last hope of a two-state peace

Which is why Bibi won.....no two-state peace is possible. The Arabs in Gaza will continue to attack Israel until one side or the other is pushed into the sea. There is no middle ground.

Snatching victory from the very jaws of defeat...

What a concept. Maybe it should be tried more often in this country.

Oh, wait. It HAS happened. Consider the victory of Donald Trump in 2016. Or an even more current occurrence, consider the turnaround in the news just in the past twenty-four hours, with Attorney General William Barr declaring that the Trump transition team was spied upon by the Obama administration.

If what happened to the Democrats were related to what happens to a sailboat when the wind dies, they were suddenly dead in the water.

The collective narrative of the Democratic Media Complex is 'dangerous right-wing leaders are seizing control of governments'.

This is not a coincidence. This is a coordinated narrative to incite the liberal base.

The two state solution died in 2000, when Arafart rejected it and decided to go to war instead.
