    Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday took to Twitter and called the criticism, which also came from pro-Israel Jewish organizations in the US, as “hypocrisy and double standards.”

    Netanyahu is seeking a fourth straight term as premier in Israel’s April election.

    Earlier this week, his Likud party formed a partnership with a smaller merged party that includes members of the ‘Jewish Power’ movement.

    Jewish Power embraces ideas of late rabbi Meir Kahane, who wanted a Jewish theocracy and advocated forced removal of Palestinians.

    In 1997, Washington classified his Kach movement a terrorist group.

    Netanyahu accused leftist critics of having once acted “to put extreme Islamists into the Knesset” to weaken the right.

    Shtetl schnorrer yumi nusenyuhi has finally shown his true colors. Just another violent thug like all the other settler riff raff. When is he moving into one of those ragtag hilltop tents? Has he purchased one of those weird oversized kippas?

    I wonder what Israel will say to a Govt with Sharpton/Farrakhan in it. It could easily happen in a ACA Presidency in a few years. She is at 25 (2 months in politics)already more famous than Trump was at 60 with all his shows. Plain and Poset. If you support Bibis move you also supporting the future ACA/Farakhan Govt.

    Bibi has been the best thing we have had as a PM for a very long time. I hope he can continue and defeat Lapid/Gantz (who seem to be the new left).

    We don’t need to ‘understand’ the Arabs, we don’t need to make peace with the Arabs; the ARABS need to deal with us and stop their violence.

    Kahane was right!

    politics make strange bedfellows. doesn’t mean bibi goes along with that party. he just needs their help in getting him elected. once in power, he will most likely ignore them, as most politicians ignore much of their constituents.
    ease up, folks.
