Tens of thousands of demonstrators overflowed Tel Avivs Rabin Square to support a right-wing government Sunday night in a rally titled United for the Land of Israel.
There is a real danger of a leftwing government, even though most of the public doesnt want [Zionist Union leaders] Tzipi [Livni] and Buji [Isaac Herzog] as prime minister and want to see me continue, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the crowd.
Netanyahu warned the demonstrators that the gap between Zionist Union and Likud votes will determine who forms the next government.
We have to close the gap; we can close the gap, he declared.
Asking the demonstrators to avoid violence and provocations, the prime minister vowed, amid cheers, that the Land of Israel will never be divided again.

(23,155 posts)What in my writings would ever lead you to question that I'm not a blue dog progressive who would never in her life vote for Repugs or even sit out an election? Those are fighting words, (naw, just kidding). I have nothing but utter contempt for McCain, Romney or any of the clown car folks now trying to run for R=esident. Dems do have reason to fear, real reasons, like they (Repugs and Kochs leading the way) are trying to take away social security, medicare, public schools, women's ability to make their own reproductive decisions, etc. etc. That's real, not just stupid stuff like "Kenyan", "Muslim", "socialist", etc.

Nazis used Jews.
Soviets used the US.
So does Maduro in Venezuela.
North Korea uses the US, South Korea, and Japan.

(9,688 posts)there's no way to hide the intent to permanently annex the entire land from the river to the sea, leaving no land for Palestinians.
Not that there was any reason to doubt this, but having it unambiguously declared in the Prime Minister's own words should put all the bullshit rhetoric about "two state solution" etc. to rest once and for all.
Israel is an apartheid country, no doubt about it.

(24,979 posts)In effect, raising the specter of violence and provocations, as though the Israeli state election process (as opposed to its policies toward Arab populations) were marked by such. This is inducing hysteria. Of course, he would know his base, maybe there's a strong chance of it.

(1,209 posts)heroes and all Democratic are devils in disguise who must be attacked daily even if 99% of the attacks are creative thinking only.
Compare the news/propaganda streams: Carter, Reagan, GHWBush( Ok no one liked him)Clinton, WBush, Obama.
I would love to hear from anyone familiar with news/propaganda in Israel.
