Netanyahu Wins Election Still Loser Harming Zionist Cause (VT)

"Let us keep the heat on. Netanyahu's recent reelection proves that he is indeed a loser—but he doesn't seem to know that yet, since psychopaths cannot see metaphysical things."

Netanyahu's Victory: Now What President Obama? (VT)

"It is clear and ought to be obvious to all that Obama now as only two options. One is to wash his hands of the conflict in and over Palestine that became Israel and walk away from it... Obama's only other option is to say publicly to Israel that enough is enough and that America will now use its leverage to cause (or try to cause) Israel to end its defiance of international law."

The Netanyahu Win and What it Means (VT)

"[Editor's note: The votes are counted, and Bibi won with a margin far beyond what all the exit polls were showing. Where have we seen this before? But of course, in the American version of this, we have electronic voting. Will the anomaly between the vote count and exit polls get a closer look — and the $100 million that Shelly Adelson put into the campaign? I will let you guess whom he supported, but I have not seen his name mentioned in it so far – another anomaly.

"And Netanyahu's pledge of there being no Palestinian state on his watch… he has thrown down the gauntlet to Obama by admitting that he has never had any real intentions of seeing a peace process.

"That gives Obama a free hand of sorts. If Bibi can renege on his promise of negotiation in good faith, then the US is released from its commitment of promised support. We will have more on this coming soon. We feel it is time to play a card that has not been played yet… Jim W. Dean]"

3 Cheers for Benjamin Netanyahu! Hip Hip Horray! (Johnny Punish, VT)

"In other words, will we, the world, give you the lovely DeKlerk and shove a Mandela boot up your arse and bring real community and peace to the millions of outstanding people and future children who call Israel, Palestine and Gaza home or we will continue to buy your snake oil that is now proudly and publicly labeled SNAKE OIL!"

Charlie Hebdo & Copenhagen: Netanyahu war crimes? (Kevin Barrett VT)

"Even as credibly-accused war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu claims re-election in Israel, some analysts are suggesting that the Israeli Prime Minister may have helped orchestrate the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Copenhagen."

The impact of Netanyahu's victory on the current US-Israeli relationship (AlJazeera)

"Daniel Kurtzer, the former US Ambassador to Israel, weighs in on the Prime Minister's victory and the impact"

Netanyahu statement on Palestinian state runs against US policy: White House (PressTV)

"The White House says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement to block the creation of a Palestinian state runs against US policy, adding President Barack Obama is committed to a two-state solution for Israelis and the people of Palestine.

"[Writer Dean Henderson] stated that Obama has started to act "like a Democrat, especially in the realm of foreign policy, and he just needs to continue on this path.""

Israelis vote against pretence of peace (RT)

" The defeat of the Zionist Union, ostensibly committed to negotiations and a two-state solution, should not, therefore, be read as the defeat of any genuine desire for peace, but as an increasing desire amongst Israelis to abandon the pretence that they seek anything other than permanent violent colonial domination of the indigenous Arabs. "

Washington Warns of 'Policy Ramifications' for Netanyahu as Tensions Mount (Sputnik News)

"The rift between United States President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has continued to plunge to unprecedented lows, with the US president's administration lashing out at Bibi's campaign.

"On Wednesday, instead of congratulating Netanyahu on his narrow victory in Israel's national elections – as leaders from Canada and Britain did – the Obama administration promised consequences for the prime minister's vow to prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state."
