Aces, now Israel has a kick ass leader who isn't gonna mess around with failed stupidity like expecting Israel's enemies to suddenly desire peace through diplomacy. they'll make peace or get smacked down, and that's the only way it's gonna work for now.

So which main candidate wasn't hawkish?
 
A sad day for the world as that genocidal monster rises to power once again.

Whatever one thinks of Mr. Netanyahu or his policies, he is not responsible for genocide nor has he ever advocated genocide.

Under international law, genocide is:

of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Mr. Netanyahu has never expressed the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part" any "national, ethnical, racial or religious group," much less attempted to do so.
 
WOOHOOO! I sure don't know who Netanyahu is, but, GO ISRAEL!!!
 
Good news. Least now one nation will stand up to Iran.
 
Finally.

We need more right-wing leaders, especially in Israel.
Israel, by the leadership of Netanyahu can hopefully finally confront Iran directly, either militarily or diplomatically.
 
Netanyahu was a joke the first time he was PM and he is still a joke. He can not be trusted just as he could not be trusted the first time he was PM. There will be no peace as long as he is involved in the Israeli Government and Israel will expand its racist policies towards the Palestinians and that will give a counter reaction, something that Netanyahu is counting on. He does not want peace, he wants war and death.

I don't think Hamas and Hezbollah are laughing. Iran, probably laughing their asses off with the election of Obama, have just had a reality check. There is no more laughing in Tehran.

He is the Churchill of the Israeli's. He knows the enemy and seeks to defeat them... it is the only way to secure peace. It's not going to come through a negotiation until somebody has a decisive victory.

After a series of Neville Chamberlain's... the people want someone who is resolute, speaks clearly and forcefully and is willing to back up words with action if need be.

There will be no peace...

... doing things the same way and expecting a different result is insanity. Clinton loved that line... I do too.

Clinton tried... invested heavily and failed.
After Clinton force E. Barak to give everything, and Arafat wanted more, Bush knew future negotiations were futile.
What can you do when your predecessor gives away the store and the offer is rejected?

as long as he is involved in the Israeli Government and Israel will expand its racist policies towards the Palestinians

Eating rockets is not racist. Retaliation to terror attacks is not racist. Perhaps we need to send Holder over there and have him tell the Cowards in Palestine to Man-Up, cut the crap and start a meaningful dialogue... LOL.

He does not want peace, he wants war and death.

He wants peace, but isn't naive to think you get it through talking when the opponent spews and incites hatred. War is the Palestinians choice. I am 100% sure Netanyahu would grab peace without violence... but that option has been denied the Israeli's for decade upon decade.

If violence is needed to stop Palestinian terror attacks... then "bring it on" and follow it through to its conclusion. Otherwise this will never be "solved".

Reality check plz. What is more in line with Tehran. A US government that does not want to talk to them and helps them promote their form of radical thinking world wide, or a US government that has a leader with an arab middle name, who grew up (in part) in a muslim society and is seen as a huge change... yea they just lost their biggest new recruiting tool .. I bet they are laughing.

And how is he going to "defeat" them? Kill all Palestinians?

Stealing land, building a wall across Palestinian land, denying freedom of movement in most of their supposed own land, blocking off 1+ million of people and bringing the area to the brink of starvation, denying water and other basic resources based on religion or ethnicity, the list goes on.

And I am sure he will not. He will continue to provoke the Palestinians to retaliate against the oppression they are under. That will require a "strong hand" and will keep arms manufactures, nationalists and religious fanatics happy and the body count up. Just wait. One of the first things he will do is to expand the settlement program in the West Bank. He will also refuse to talk about East Jerusalem and expand the ethnic cleansing of the area.

Why is it that it has to be the Palestinian's who have to stop the attacks? Why not Israel too? How can the Palestinians be the only ones to "suffer" for peace? If the Palestinians stopped all attacks, do you really think that Netanyahu would stop building settlements in the West Bank, remove the roadblocks and restrictions on movement on the West Bank and start being "fair" when it comes to the water supply? Considering his track record on going back on agreements and promises, then I have my doubts.

Pure hoooey.

Talking to a wall does not a conversation or dialogue make. In fact, talking to them legitimizes the hostage taking, Fatwa giving, terror supporting bunch of thugs.

So now we can mention Barak H******'s name and say he's the key to Muslims because of the color of his skin and his Muslim background (name/school)? Hell, we can't use his name in this forum! Really, to think that matters to these people is laughable.

Kill off the terror threat? That is one way. Yes.

Stealing land, building a wall across Palestinian land, denying freedom of movement in most of their supposed own land, blocking off 1+ million of people and bringing the area to the brink of starvation, denying water and other basic resources based on religion or ethnicity, the list goes on.

The wall is there to protect Israeli's. We don't hear about street cafe bombings anymore do we? before the wall it was a regular occurance. I guess if a child rapist is loose in your neighborhood, you'd just leave the front door open?

Why is it that it has to be the Palestinian's who have to stop the attacks?

Do they want peace the easy way or hard way? If it's the hard way, then keep instigating.

Blah blah blah, . :roll:
 
Netanyah (correct me if I am wrong Tash) seems to be taking the moderate route at the moment. The election-winning Livni has taken her party and juxtaposed the new forming coalition; a fine amount of electorates have their support in the Kadima party and Netanyahu appears slightly threatened by that margin. Even though Netanyahu was able to build a coalition, the amount of differences within the coalition cannot possibly make his job any easier. Lieberman and his "Our Home" party gathered up enough votes to become a prominent member within the coalition.
Netanyahu will play puppet for a good while, however, Lieberman is a real threat to the rationale of the Israeli foundation. Lieberman's contingency is speculated to be built largely on immigrants from the former Soviet Union, whom wish to take the rabbinic foundation of Israel right from under it's feet. Israel, as most accept, is a secular state, however, there has always been a large Sha and Rabbi foundation in the political system (and of course the social system).
Lieberman is promoting ultra-nationalism and a liberal-religious view; with the idea of pledging loyalty to the state, obviously a move to promote the state over the religion. The Ultra-Orthodox and Lieberman, within the Israeli coalition, will have problems. So I do not see much coming out of this, I picture a stalemate between the Orthodox and Lieberman's kingmanship.
Either way, it will be a really interesting turn of events.
