Israeli Elections today.

And no one started a thread?

I guess Israel isn't that important...

 

[KingOrfeo]

Fuck Likud. That is all.

On this day in history, we celebrate St. Patrick casting the snakes out of Ireland.

Hopefully, history will repeat itself today and Israeli voters will cast the snake Bibi out of Israeli government.

How is the Economist not a credible source?
Is it because the article doesn't tell you what you want to hear?

Will you say the UPI isn't credible either?

 

[KingOrfeo]

Bibi is really flailing now.

At midday, Netanyahu claimed high Arab voter turnout was putting his right-wing Likud Party's rule "in danger," according to a posting on his Facebook page. "Arab voters are going to the polls in droves. Left-wing organizations are bringing them in buses," he said.

He also called on supporters to vote for him to "narrow the gap" between Likud and the Zionist Union. "With your help, and with the help of God, we will build a nationalist government that will protect the state of Israel," he said.

Netanyahu's comments toward Israeli Arab voters were remarkable because they targeted Israeli citizens, and they quickly attracted accusations of racism. Israel's Arabs, who make up 20 percent of the population, have long complained of discrimination.

anti semitic

Okay, buckwheat, you made the claim, now you provide the proof.

How is the Economist anti-Semitic?
If you can't back your bullshit with evidence (and personal opinion doesn't count), expect to be called on your bullshit.

we needa suck MOOSEFUCK cunt http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-262724207.html

no one can EVER show ISLAMAPHOBIA but we should worry about it, But JEWS shoud STFU about ANTI JEW stuff

 

[1sickbastard]

why

Because it's entirely subjective.

You're entitled to believe whatever you want to believe.
But if you want anyone else to believe what you believe, the onus is on you to provide a good reason.

Your subjective opinion may be good enough for you, but I have higher standards of evidence than 'because some one on the internet said so'.
Particularly so when I know that person to be highly partisan, given to making unsubstantiated claims & retreating into ad hominem attacks whenever someone disagrees.

That's two in just one thread.

Which means you're either lying outright by claiming you don't make unsubstantiated claims, or you haven't a clue what constitutes an unsubstantiated claim.

 

[Busybody]

that's YOUR personal POV...worth shit

 

[sr71plt]

I would imagine there wasn't a thread on this earlier because few here are going to be voting in that election and, although it's a popular game on this forum to spin wheels ineffectually early, there's really not much to be said by those of us not voting until the vote is in and declared.

Just iggy it.

 

[Busybody]

So called alleged election

Jews win

 

[1sickbastard]

that's YOUR personal POV...worth shit

Except I was just able to demonstrate the contrary, using your own posts.

I guess the only other question, as far you're concerned is:
Poe, troll, or just that fucking stupid?

I guess it really doesn't matter.
Back to iggy lists with you, to join your companion in exile, neverendingme.
I'm sure you'll both be perfectly miserable together.

I was just curious how many of both the Israel-is-'Murika'-bestest-friend-ever & the Israel-is-Satan-incarnate crowd actually bother keeping up on that country's politics. Allowing, of course, for those who have me on their ignore lists...

The exit polls said Likud 28 seats and Zionist Union 27, which, if it holds, is a surprisingly strong showing for Likud. Still need 61 seats total to form a government and that's just polling, not actual results. The third strongest showing is the Arab coalition of parties, which is no friend of Bibi's.
