Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s list lost considerable numbers of seats in today’s election, but he still spun it as a victory, insisting his continued plurality proved voters wanted him to remain in his position, and sought to shift attention to Iran.
Delivering what his party called a “victory speech,” Netanyahu insisted that he intends to put together a broad coalition with the new government’s first challenge being “preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.”
Of course Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons, and repeated claims from Netanyahu that the nation’s enriched uranium stockpile is nearing a “red line” have fallen by the wayside since Iran continues to use civilian enriched uranium for civilian purposes.
The prime minister’s desire to start a war with Iran has been a major focus of criticism from the center-left, and from retired security officials who say his single-minded determination to start a war is reckless and putting Israel at risk was likely at least part of the reason his list lost seats, though polls showed most Israeli voters by and large disinterested in foreign policy, and the exact amount of impact it had is impossible to gauge.
This man has no dignity nor respect for himself, he jus love to be at war with whatever and whoever even if it kills him….!
It is always that 1% that screws up the rest of 99%.So congratulation to Israelis for elceting the IDIOT,wargomaniac again.It will definitely help Israel further accelerate sellf destruct mission.But not til taking many along.
I guess the Israeli public has mad it decision . It is sad to see that they opted for aggression .
The fool and his foolishness.
The people of Israel apparently believe that a war monger is in their best interest. The military of Israel has not faced a real military since 1973 so I hope that if they feel that Iran needs to be attacked that it will be the people of Israel and the loyal dual citizens of the other nations are in the front lines. I am tired of looking at American parents suffering the loss or crippling of their sons and daughters. I believe the USA should stop giving Israel $110,000,000 fighter jets and use that money to treat the already wounded Americans from wars that bibi helped get us into.
Warmonger from place without borders, place with illegal arsenal of WMD, place without constitucion, calling for another war of aggression. Place commited to etnicly cleanse native population, place filled with dangerous fanatism….UN shoud make proposition and correct its decision from 1948 and rename it to "Israel – Provice of Palestine".
And if World succeds, then many "brownshirts" will leave and rest of population surely find the way to correct past mistakes, pay compenzation to Palestine people for crimes against humanity … and live in peace again….peter czech
Hey Tom Dee I read those fighter jets F-22 and F- 35 cost around 400 million. each! And they have lots of problems.
