Thank god we have a hate filled, war mongering f-head in power so we can continue to support the only state in the middle east that does nothing for us except cost us money, alienate all the countries we need to ally with and stop us from joining with the rest of the planet

Yes, but he’s a right winger, so “mandate mandate mandate!!!”

…West Bank settler movement…
Love the use of the word, “settler.” It creates the impression that these are brave pioneers, heading into the uninhabited wilderness to deliver civilization. It has a much better ring to it than “forcible occupiers.”

Worth reposting what Josh wrote this morning:
…because Bennett’s party is radioactive to the international community on his total rejection of a two state solution and dismal stance on civil rights and minority rights.

I think the question is who sold their soul to him?
Credibility continues its erosion.
Thanks, missed this. For what it is worth, Josh has excelled at covering/explaining the current Israel election, and its multitude of convolutions thereof. I have only been interested in the intricacies of this election due to an obscure university project I am part of, but hands-down, the TPM analysis of the election has out-shined even Israeli newspapers, and I have cited TPM accordingly.
While I do enjoy the entertainment value of the current USA GOP clown bus that TPM never misses, I do hope TPM continues more often with this type of in-depth analysis/commentary.

Oy vey!
Not going to be a picnic having to kowtow to the settlers, some of the worst people I’ve ever seen.

Seems as if the fact that it took him so long to form this government reflects a bit of, shall we say, discomfort?
Oh, Prime Minister Netanyahu: may you look back at the steps you took to retain power and regret those steps.
Meanwhile, thoughts/prayers with the folks who will be inevitably harmed by this unholy alliance.

Sounds like Netanyahu has a bumpy ride ahead of him. He just made it easier for the US and Europe to distance themselves from him. Oh, Israel, what have you done?

He’s like a Dick Cheney without the Dick.

Apartheid ho!
Naftali Bennett.
So who did he bribe and promise his first born son?
Tonto says, “Bibi speak with fork tongue”. Israel is becoming more isolated.
From what I understand, there are about six ruling families that control everything in Israel. Besides practicing apartheid, Israel is also an oligarchy…not a democracy by any stretch of the mind.
The results of any election in Israel are pre-determined long before the voting ever begins. Once they killed off Rabin, all the other politicians in Israel are either too afraid to confront these power brokers or they are taking orders from them. It’s a very nasty little secret that would shock most Americans if they ever found out.
But for some reason this fact appears to comfort both the Democratic and Republican leadership in this country. No wonder the Muslim terrorists tried to shake up the status quo in the US on 9/11. Nobody has been paying any attention to what’s going on right before our eyes since WWII.
I would have rather heard Casto speaking before our Congress than Bibi.
Israel wants wars and Pres.Obama wants peace. The President has now moved on to make peace with Somalia. As long as Netnayahoo is at the helm the list will grow. It’s time for peace.
