Did they vote FOR Bibi .. or AGAINST Obama ?
[IsraelNationalNews] I have to admit I was very pessimistic throughout this election day.
With all the knives out for Netanyahu and foreign money busing thousands of Arab students into polling stations, it was like a Yom Kippur War on all fronts, with ballots instead of bullets.
Well, that's democracy - you may well say.
But not when foreign governments and viscerally anti-Jewish fatcats and NGOs are blatantly undermining that democracy with public or tax-exempt funds.
It's a problem not limited to undermining Israel, as our elections of 2008 and 2012 amply demonstrate... | I'm glad that the Republican senate has launched its inquiry to track this money back to its shadowy sources with subpoena powers. Let these folks be exposed for what they are: vile anti-Semites who cannot stand to see Israel thriving as a bold, secure and independent Jewish state.
There's no doubt in my mind that many Israelis changed their vote as a protest against this egregious foreign interference in their most prized process as the region's only true democracy.
Sometimes I read news from abroad and think: the World's last democracy
Whatever the coalition endgame and whatever issues you may have with Bibi Netanyahu ... and I have a few of my own ... there can be no doubt that this man is a real fighter. And in the world's most dangerous neighborhood boldness and steely resolve is more important than ever.
