| 1:14 | (text) The Likud Under Netanyahu |
What can you say other than “great.” Hits the nail on the head.
Whoever came up with this should be brought to the attention of
Gov. Scott Walker.
Wish UK electoral ads were as entertaining.
It matters who wins the Israeli election, but no one is giving up the carpets (territories).
This ad has a certain charm that is lacking in American political ads. Also, the ads assume a bit of intelligence in the voter, which might not fly very well in American elections.
I have read that several ex-Obama officials are supporting the opposition to Netanyahu in the election. In my opinion, it should be a felony for any candidate, in any country, to use foreign political advisers or consultants, and foreign contributions in particular should constitute a first-class felony. The only way to make representative government work is to represent the interests of the country holding the election. There is no conceivable rationale for allowing foreign interests to affect an election.
It’s true that American election advertising is more advanced than in almost any other country, Israel included. This ad obviously stands head and shoulders above any ad I’ve seen in American elections, but it does have a certain appeal to the intellect, which might doom its effectiveness.
Back to my point, any candidate can always send a supporter from his own country to learn techniques. But foreign interests should not be allowed to affect domestic elections.
AMEN!!! Communists have taken the lead on NWO by infiltrating every aspect of governments, media, organization, and industry. Where are the Ron-Maggie-JohnPaul of this age. Medling in foreign elections is equal to treason, sedition, and mutiny; and as heinous as national adultery, rape, and pedophilia. Their ads should be censored, passports rescinded, and the candidates heavily fined.
