This election was not about issues.
It was about Israel's independence and self-respect.
The results should be seen as a vote against White House interference in Israeli internal politics, and against the left-wing Labour Party's subservience to the president of another nation and his anti-Israel agenda.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu |
A few items to consider:
- Polls were consistently wrong, favoring the left. Polls everywhere can be deliberately manipulated. This is just one more instance of shame for the polling industry.
- The left used the race card to bring out the Arab vote, but cried foul when the PM pointed out that leftists were busing Arabs to the polls.
- Leftists have denounced their own compatriots for daring to live on ancient Jewish land across the Green Line - while whitewashing the genocidal ideology and terror in the Palestinian nationalist movement.
- The left stressed economic issues in this campaign, dismissing legitimate fears of Jews who face Arab violence EVERY DAY - from stone and firebomb throwers, to attacks with knives, guns, and vehicles.
- All that in addition to ever increasing threats from domestic jihadists, and from those in Gaza, in Sinai, in the Palestinian Authority, in Syria and in Lebanon.
- And the looming threat of a nuclear Iran, enabled by White House policies.
- The most important issue in this campaign was the brazen interference by the White House, that sent a team of experts to assist the Labour Party, and may have funded activities aimed at toppling Netanyahu with taxpayers' money.
- This made the Labour Party subservience to a foreign government with a destructive agenda for Israel all the more repulsive to many voters.
- Israel was as usual awash in foreign money financing pro-leftists, pro-Arab NGOs - some of them outright subversive organizations - trying to erode security and the rule of law in Israel. This money significantly increased in the months and weeks leading to the election.
- Netanyahu - out of sheer despair - seemed to have had a sudden moment of enlightenment when on the very last day he announced that there would be no Palestinian State on his watch, because every piece of land Israel has abandoned - such as Gaza and Sinai - has been filled with Jihadists that threaten the whole region.
- Palestinian statehood is just a ruse to dismantle Israel. Syrians, Iraqis and all other Muslim states in the region already have a state - but they are dysfunctional, oppressive and intolerant states, mired in conflict and carnage.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R Texas) |
The American nonprofit OneVoice Movement – under scrutiny by a U.S. Senate panel over possible links to a campaign to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – quietly filed paperwork that would allow it to engage in political activism after two leading Republican lawmakers questioned its use of government funds, FoxNews.com has learned.
President Obama and PM Netanyahu |
Cruz also publicly asked whether Obama – who’s had a well-documented adversarial relationship with Netanyahu – had “launched a political campaign against” the Israeli leader in the run-up to the election which was held on Tuesday.

The leftist media say they're sorry for what they call "lower prospects for peace" between Jews and Arabs.
What they are really bemoaning is the lesser likelihood of the partition of Israel for the creation of a Jihadist state, which would bring the eventual dismantling of Israel through terror.
Novelist Jack Engelhard has been watching TV, and he writes: What they are really bemoaning is the lesser likelihood of the partition of Israel for the creation of a Jihadist state, which would bring the eventual dismantling of Israel through terror.

Bride in her wedding dress votes in Holon |
Yes, she admits, al-Sisi and Bibi speak on the phone all the time, but until Israel “makes peace with the Palestinians there can be no friendship.”
The expert from Jordan says the same thing. They all want the peace process.
Bedouin women vote in Rahat |
So how’s the peace process going between Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS? Not much luck, from what my TV says, every morning.
In fact, Egypt has been arresting, hanging and clobbering these Muslim fanatics wherever they can be found. Same deal with Jordan.
IDF soldiers vote at a remote outpost |
Not to mention the peace process between Egypt and Hamas – the terror group Egypt has blockaded and officially declared, well, a terror group.
Voting and smiling in Jerusalem |
Frankly, so did some Tel Aviv (left wing) Israelis. Now, they say, there won’t be peace. Israel needs to share the land “with the Palestinians.”
Which Palestinians?
A patient votes at a hospital in Be'er Sheva |
The Fatah Palestinians?
The Hezbollah Palestinians?
The Islamic Jihad Palestinians?
You think if you give it to one the others won’t want it too and can you imagine the fireworks when they get to quarreling? They don’t get along wi
th one another, fat chance they’ll suddenly sing Hatikvah.
