My TV Says Bibi Won. How’d Yours Do? Jack Engelhard

Is there dancing on Rabin Square?
I keep having this nightmare. People rushing to celebrate a Leftist victory at the center of Tel Aviv find that it’s been renamed Arafat Square.
The two-state solution has been done and Hamas is directing traffic with rifles.
It gets worse, this nightmare, but at the moment my TV says it’s okay, we can calm down, the Jewish State still belongs to the Jewish People.
Can I get me an Amen to that?
So, at the moment at least, if the news is correct, it’s a gap of several seats between Benjamin Netanyahu and Yitzchak Herzog.
Now it’s extra innings, where whoever gathers in the largest number of small parties gets to win. Bibi has the best chance.
My TV says so and that is all I need to hear. When my TV says something else, I switch channels. Sometimes not fast enough.
Here’s the lady from Egypt. She says that Egypt is unhappy with the results – Bibi winning – and that Egypt still considers Israel an enemy. Yes, she admits, al-Sisi and Bibi speak on the phone all the time, but until Israel “makes peace with the Palestinians there can be no friendship.”
Israel is expected to make peace with exactly the same type of people Egypt and Jordan are bombing to smithereens.
The expert from Jordan says the same thing. They all want the peace process.
So how’s the peace process going between Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS? Not much luck, from what my TV says, every morning. In fact, Egypt has been arresting, hanging and clobbering these Muslim fanatics wherever they can be found. Same deal with Jordan.
But Israel – Israel is expected to make peace with exactly the same type of people Egypt and Jordan are bombing to smithereens.
Not to mention the peace process between Egypt and Hamas – the terror group Egypt has blockaded and officially declared, well, a terror group.
Closer to home, a member of Congress gave my TV his own views. He’s a Democrat, so I already knew what he had to say. I listened anyway.
So he says it’s bad. Frankly, so did some Tel Aviv Israelis. Now, they say, there won’t be peace. Israel needs to share the land “with the Palestinians.”
Which Palestinians?
The Hamas Palestinians? The Fatah Palestinians? The Hezbollah Palestinians? The Islamic Jihad Palestinians?
You think if you give it to one the others won’t want it too and can you imagine the fireworks when they get to quarreling? Read this.
They don’t get along with one another, fat chance they’ll suddenly sing Hatikvah.
Or have people forgotten what’s going on in the neighborhood? If a Las Vegas oddsmaker were taking bets I doubt he’d rate high chances for the “two-state-solution” looking anything like Aspen, Colorado. More likely Iraq, Syria and Libya – right in the heart of the Jewish State.
Over the past few months, Bibi gradually slipped away from the two-state solution — and we caught the drift of it right here on Arutz Sheva before anyone else did. Moreover, in the hours before voting began, Bibi came straight out and declared no chance for that business, and that declaration may well have put him over the top.
So, the Democrat from Congress tells my TV that a Bibi win is bad because without an agreement for a Palestinian State, all bets are off
The Obama administration may not support Israel at the UN. So — how’s our own peace process going with those people we’re droning and shellacking?
I’ll stick with the TV that says Bibi won. That’s enough for one day.
