Israel's Netanyahu Declares Victory In Tight Election
Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared victory after a tight national election appeared to give him the upper hand in forming the country's next coalition government.
In a statement released on Twitter, Netanyahu says that "against all odds" his Likud party and the nationalist camp secured a "great victory."
Initial exit polls showed Netanyahu's Likud Party deadlocked with the center-left Zionist Union. But the results indicated that Netanyahu will have an easier time cobbling together a majority coalition with hard-line and religious allies.
Netanyahu said he had already begun to call potential partners.

1. Not sure what the final results will be, but Netanyahu has caused considerable damage to Israel,
and I suspect that damage will only get worse
Until his opponent concedes, I won't take this as a fact

4. It was never going to be that, but the results are not over, and it is much more complicated than
AP would like people to believe.
It is NOT a sure victory for Netanyahu

5. Time for our "unshakeable bond" with Israel to be cut completely.
That rightwing, racist apartheid society is alien to our values.

7. What an arrogant prick. Let's see how it REALLY goes. Many analysts say that....
...it could be weeks before they know the final results.
Haha assholes. Wrong again.

Oh my.
Too bad for the primitives.

Did he get the dead vote? :-)

It's amazing that civilized people like Netanyahu have a chance.
The population of Israel is 20% Arab, and these savages are allowed to vote.
It's worse than the millions of 0bamaites the democrats bus to the polls here.

the Arabs that are peaceful law abiding tax paying citizens of Israel aren't the problem. Its.their DU-esque.brethren in the West Bank and Jerusulem causing the problems.

Ain't that the truth. Considering how many people all over the planet (DU most of all) were wishing for a weak Jewish government so that they could finally wipe them off the map....this vote was rather extraordinary. Aside from the Muslims and DU, the rest of us are giving thanks.
Missed this gem on the original post. I think this sums up DU to a tee. Why has this cesspool not been placed on the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of hate sites?

Boy, that one didn't last long. Relatively longtime member, usually this one gets a pass. You can hide all you want you little jew haters, but you we will make sure everyone knows exactly where you stand. Such scum.

16. And the anti-Semites come out to play
As someone who considers themselves both pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian, these results are extremely disappointing. Bibi's scare tactics worked, as they do so often in elections all over the globe. Playing on people's fears and emotions is a tried and true method and he did it to perfection.
This thread should be interesting...seeing some of the posts here already
I love how they think the antisemitism is unusual at the DUmp. These people are lunatics.

Bibi's opponent literally ran on "hope and change." Only Dummies would fall for that bullshit.

I think it's more that BLATANT anti- Semitism is somewhat unusual at the DUmp. Usually, the DUmmies make at least some effort to conceal their anti- Semitism, through such means as using euphemistic terms like "Zionists" or offering some kind of header/ disclaimer to start their screeds like "I'm not an anti- Semite or anything, BUUUUUUUUTTTT these Jews....". There are some exceptions (i.e. the post that got the legendary TominTib tombstoned a few years ago, and of course severe anger over election results not going their way, such as here, causes them to throw off their masks in order to more loudly shriek with fury), but that's usually how it goes.

One of the most popular lib tantrums is to claim shock, surprise or being stunned about something conservatives were predicting all along.

Considering how many members of the purple mafia there are at DU, you'd think "tight" would be an enhancement.

Not like any of you numb-nutted, lamebrained DUmbasses every tried anything like that, right?
