Netanyahu Wins Re-Election Beats Herzog and Obama!

Well I guess Pres Obama is having a bad day knowing his efforts to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu  failed! For those who don’t know the Obama admin was using your tax dollars to campaign against Netanyahu in the Israeli elections! Thankfully those agents of the Obama election machine from 2008-12 didn’t have the impact they were expecting to remove Bibi. With 99% of the vote in this win for the leader of the freeworld is being reported as a “blow-out”!


Netanyahu’s Likud wins Israeli election

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party scored a resounding victory in the country’s election, final results showed Wednesday, after a tight race that had put his lengthy rule in jeopardy.

With nearly all the votes counted, Likud appeared to have earned 30 out of parliament’s 120 seats, in a position to be able to build a coalition government with its right-wing and religious allies with relative ease.

The election was widely seen as a referendum on Netanyahu, who has governed the country for the past six years. Recent opinion polls indicated he was in trouble, giving chief rival Isaac Herzog of the opposition Zionist Union a slight lead. Exit polls showed the two sides deadlocked but once the actual results came pouring in early Wednesday, Likud soared forward. Zionist Union wound up with just 24 seats.

Netanyahu’s return to power likely spells trouble for Mideast peace efforts and could further escalate tensions with the United States…read more

St. Patrick’s Day Miracle in Israel: Netanyahu Comes From Behind to Win
Breitbart
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apparently defied the mainstream media and the Obama administration with a stunning, come-from-behind victory in Israel’s elections on Tuesday. Netanyahu’s Likud Party had been projected to lose to Isaac Herzog’s Zionist Union by a margin of 26-22. Two exit polls released at the close of voting, however, suggested Likud would win, 28-27 (a third poll showed them tied). Netanyahu is now expected to form a new governing coalition.

The results suggest that the race shifted dramatically in the last few days, as Netanyahu opted for an all-in, “gevalt” effort to rally his supporters.

Netanyahu had three messages: first, that if Israelis wanted him to return to power, they would have to vote for his party; second, that he would not allow a Palestinian state to be created despite earlier commitments; third, that foreign donors and governments were mobilizing Arab voters, including some who oppose Israel’s existence, to turn out.

It was a blunt, ugly message that may create future political and diplomatic problems for Netanyahu, but it appears to have worked…read more
