Related: About this forumNetanyahu Caught On Video Admitting He Manipulates America
AddictingInfo:
"...The Israeli leadership, and particularly Benjamin Netanyahu, seem to feel that they have the US in exactly the position they want us, wrapped around their little fingers. In this video, Netanyahu is caught telling a group of people that we will get out of their way, that we will be moved in the right direction and that he has no fear of us.
While Netanyahu is wrong that 80% of Americans support him, the American support is unwavering, despite the fact that far more Palestinians have been killed or injured in the latest round of attacks than Israelis.
Netanyahu was a friend and vocal supporter to Mitt Romney during the last election. Its extremely rare for a foreign leader, especially of an allied country, to take sides in Americas elections. The political risk is simply too great. But as Netanyahu arrogantly anticipated, the political risk for a sitting American president to turn against Israel is probably greater.

certain voting machines to ' flip ' the votes in favor of Rmoney.
Murphy's Law flashes before me once again.

I don't follow

(14,923 posts)6. I don't follow you. Not sure what you're asking.
demwing
(16,916 posts)8. Let me rephrase
Do you think that Bibi anticipating certain voting machines to ' flip ' the votes in favor of Rmoney is evidence of "if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong" or do you think it is an example of "the simplest explanation for an event is also the most likely" ???

I hope this makes a difference. Oops:

Oh, wait...this is an ANCIENT videotape.
Old, stale news.
Rumor has it that Ole' Bibi has found Jesus since then and become a pacifist. We can all sleep easier now.
