Fear matters
In one Likud ad, actors portraying Islamic State terrorists are seen driving a pickup truck adorned with a jihadist flag and an “Anyone but Bibi” bumper sticker. They stop and ask directions to Jerusalem from another motorist, who disingenuously tells them to “turn Left.”
In a second and arguably more perverse example, a new grassroots settler group called the “Samaria Citizens Committee” posted a crude cartoon video that portrays Europeans as Nazis and Israeli leftists and human rights organizations as collaborators carrying out their genocidal tasks for money.
The left-wing Israeli is shown as having a hooked nose and acting against his country for gold until he is finally seen hanging from a tree after committing suicide. The extremist stereotyping and incitement contained in the video are horrific, especially to people who have had a history of being targeted with anti-Semitic violence, the most extreme example of which was the Holocaust.
Wow.
Then Haaretz sticks the boot in
Is Obama an enemy of Netanyahu's Israel? Are you?
"In my estimation, the four years [to come] are going to be more difficult than the last four."
There it is, folks. Straight from the top: I've given you four years in which we have fought two wars, the more recent the most devastating in years; our economy is moving toward recession; the health care system is in the process of collapse; the educational system has been crippled and hijacked by politics and neglect; the government has stood steadfast against negotiating with anyone, for any reason; and we have initiated an unprecedented string of laws aimed directly at eroding democracy in Israel.
This just makes me think what the hell is Bibi going to say before congress when not busy leaking information that may effect our national security
From The Washington Post
TEL AVIV — Mistrust between the Obama administration and Benjamin Netanyahu has widened even further in recent days because of U.S. suspicion that the Israeli prime minister has authorized leaks of details about the U.S. nuclear talks with Iran
Congress is tacitly supporting Bibi in his re-election bid and Likud have definitely learned something from Republicans with added recklessness. Both seem more than willing to cause irreparable harm in their bids for power.
Anyone wanting cool heads to prevail is a Nazi and if they are Jewish they have the infamous hook-nose caricature used against them.
Wow
It is not often I am shocked, but this is one of those times.
