Terrorist Netanyahu Re-elected

[Julian]

Desparately bad news from Israel as the incumbent warmonger Netanyahu wins the election.

Link to Bad News

A real chance for peace has been lost as the Zionist Union fail to win enough votes.

Cue more settlements on stolen land etc.

[Ramrod]

At least he's someone who will do what needs to be done to protect Israel

[heero_yuy]

Elected by the people in a fair and free election with open opposition parties able to put their alternatives, unlike most of the leaders in the middle east.

In what way does the OP consider him to be a terrorist?

Yay, an open, free and fair election has occurred in a middle eastern country where all electors were able to cast their votes without fear of intimidation based on their ethnic or religious identity.

What was the topic again?

Terrorist? it's the other mob that are firing missiles into civilian areas then demanding a truce when they run out of rockets. A truce that only lasts until they get more missiles.

Indeed, rockets whose only guidance is to be pointed roughly in the direction of civillians and sent on their way with the express desire to kill innocents.

But I was curious why the OP included Terrorist in the title when there is no mention in the linked source?

Who is the terrorist is depends on your perspective. Although I think Israel won the recent "killing innocents" crown: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/08/04/wo...vilian-deaths/

Both sides have terrorists.

Israel carries out terrorist attacks on Netanyahu's orders.

He has no desire to seek a peaceful solution unlike the opposition who unfortunately failed to secure enough votes.

Had the Zionist party got in, they would have recognised Palestine as a state and stopped the building of settlements on stolen land.

The people of Israel have missed a golden opportunity and that's a great shame.

One persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter. It all depends on the perspective that one views a conflict.

Agreed ,in this instance though the only conclusion to draw is that the people of Israel do not want peace with Palestine or they would have voted for someone who would have ended the conflict

Difficult to trust a neighbor who insists in lobbing rockets over the border though even when you agree a cease-fire.

There is that ,but I wouldn't say that Israel is blameless either

Palestine doesn't want peace with Israel, they only want its total annihilation.

Palestine does not exist, which is the problem. Not as black and white as you paint, only some of the Palestinians wish war with Israel. I suspect the majority just want to live their lives in peace as we are able to do.

If your land was taken from you illegally, you would be pretty angry.

There are extremists on both sides and these are the ones with the voice and the power. The peaceful majority just suffer the consequences.
