In other ‘peaceful Israel’ news
Why is it that our librul media isn’t really talking about this?
There has been an outcry in Israel after the foreign minister said that disloyal Israeli Arabs should have their heads chopped off.
Avigdor Lieberman was speaking at a pre-election conference on Sunday.
The leader of the right-wing nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party, an outspoken critic of Israel’s Arab population, was responding to a question from an Arab Israeli about Lieberman’s policies.
“I would like to say – whoever’s with us should get everything, as they wish, but those who are against us, there’s nothing to be done – we need to pick up an axe and cut off their heads. Otherwise we won’t survive here,” the foreign minister replied, to applause from the audience.
Bibi in trouble?
This makes my week. Who knows, we might actually be able to solve some of the problems in the Middle East without him:
Corroborating other surveys showing that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to score a big polling bouncefollowing his controversial March 3 congressional address on Iran, a new poll released Tuesday finds the prime minister in grave danger of losing his bid for a fourth term ahead of national elections in one week.
The poll, from the Knesset Channel, puts the center-left Zionist Union ahead of Netanyahu’s Likud party, with the Zionist Union on track to win 24 seats in the 120-seat parliament to Likud’s 21. The centrist Yesh Atid party is projected to win 14 seats.
Haaretz notes that if the Zionist Union joins forces with Yesh Atid and smaller left-leaning and Arab parties, it could form a government with 56 seats. Combining with smaller right-rightist and ultra-Orthodox parties, Netanyahu is on track to assemble 55 seats at most.
The Zionist Union is a coalition of Isaac Herzog’s Labor and Tzipi Livini’s Hatnuah parties. If the coalition manages to form a government, the two plan to rotate the prime ministership, with Herzog serving as premier for the first two years of the government’s term and Livni serving for the latter half. Both Herzog and Livni harshly criticized Netanyahu’s congressional address denouncing a potential Iranian nuclear deal, arguing that the speech further isolated Israel on the international stage.

They’ll probably run this dangerous asshole for president one day (unless he gets caught in a scandal), so you should read this.

Clinton slams #47Traitors
For once, the Dems are in line over this wingnut craziness:
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed a group of Senate Republicans who signed a letter to Iran meant to undermine the Obama administration’s efforts to strike a deal on the country’s nuclear program.
“Either these senators were trying to be helpful to the Iranians or harmful to the commander in chief in the midst of high stakes international diplomacy,” Clinton said Tuesday at a press conference at the United Nations. “Either answer does discredit to the letter’s signatories.”
Clinton’s comments came a day after 47 Senate Republicans signed a letter to Iranian leaders saying a nuclear deal with the Obama administration would likely not last beyond Obama’s time in office. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) took the lead on the letter. It came as Obama officials are said to be nearing an agreement that would end economic sanctions on Iran if its nuclear program is halted.
“The president and his team are in the midst of intense negotiations. Their goal is a diplomatic solution that would close off Iran’s pathways to a nuclear bomb and give us unprecedented access and insight into Iran’s nuclear program,” Clinton said. “Now reasonable people can disagree about what exactly it will take to accomplish this objective and we all must judge any final agreement on its merits. But the recent letter from Republican senators was out of step with those traditions of American leadership.”
