“Reign” better describes the leadership of Hamas than Netanyahu who became PM through free and fair elections.
For all the vitriol poured out in his direction Netanyahu must be Hamas’ choice to win again.

Great news.
Goodlucktoyou
@anonymus. Are you for real? Hamas won the democratic election, but the country was fragmented by the USA and Israel.

This election is a microcosm of the cultural conflict in Judaism between Reformist and conservative Jews.

Translation, liberal Jews.
Not entirely true....

Benjamin Nissanoff, 45, the founder of a line of body-care products who lives in West Los Angeles, said the media are quick to label Trump a Jew hater, but they didn’t criticize President Barack Obama when, in an interview with Vox, he did not denounce a 2015 attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris as anti-Semitic. (In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Obama said: “Anti-Semitic attacks like the recent terrorist attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris pose a threat that extends beyond the Jewish community.” However, he did not refer to anti-Semitism in the Vox interview.)
“The media not only didn’t challenge [Obama] on it, they defended him against it,” Nisanoff said. “To me, that is almost an equivalent, analogous situation. Where this president, in my opinion, made a gaffe and — instead of defending him like they did for Obama — they went on offense and they attacked him for a poorly worded and phrased condemnation.”
For some Jewish voices that have defended Trump in the past or stayed silent while others attacked, the president’s comments on Charlottesville seemed to cross a line. But that put them out of lockstep with his base among conservative Jews.
It has been already dead for a long time.

So Bass, the dream of a Palestinian state is dead? I think probably so. Trump and Gantz seem to think so, and Netanyahu definitely thinks so. Of course Hamas also wants a one state solution and we all know what that means! Even Abbas and his Fatah group probably secretly want nothing ever to change from as-is-now... it provides plum political sinecures for them. So, what's the solution bass? One state, including Palestinians, where they may outbreed and outvote Jewish Israelis?! No? Then what? What's the solution bass? Endless rock throwing for the next 1000 years?

A vote for Netanyahu is a bargain! You get three votes for one. Each vote for Netanyahu is a vote against truth, justice and peace.
Corrupt, criminal, and racist. Bibi and Trump sure have a lot in common.

bass... all Jews in the world have the right of return to Israel. Even the "liberal Jews" who make you shudder. (Couldn't go a day without getting that "L" word in there, could ya?). :--)

You do seem to have a thing for corrupt leaders and oppressing the peoples of various places of conflict. Would you say the same about the DUP putting Stormont on ice and holding, not just the UK, but the 6 counties and the Republic to ransom?
We'll see when the next Intifada kicks off.

Now you know why I’m against liberals so much. Bingo and spot on!
But if they didn’t support him, he wouldn’t be closing close in the polls.
bass4funk
A lot more to give his challenger a run for his money which undermines your argument, which means, there are a lot of people that still strongly support Bibi.
Ok and most of the radical Palestinians are supported by Hamas and ans Iran.
And if the roles were reversed, the Jews wouldn’t have a Homeland at all because the Palestinians wouldn’t share it.
