Ali Abunimah: Why I’m relieved Netanyahu won

Posted on 2015/03/18 - 2015/03/18 by jd

Ali Abunimah writes about the Bibi victory in the Israeli elections…

But what has distinguished Netanyahu is that he strips away the opportunities for the so-called “international community” to hide its complicity with Israel’s ugly crimes behind a charade of a “peace process.”
Moreover Netanyahu’s open alliance with the most racist, white supremacist, Islamophobic and bigoted elements of the North American and European right – his speech to Congress earlier this month was a manifestation of this – place Israel in the correct ideological camp. Israel can no longer practice apartheid at home, while falsely presenting itself as a beacon of liberalism around the world.
In short, Netanyahu’s re-election is like the “Nutrition Facts” label on a box of junk food: it tells you about the toxic ingredients inside.

And furthermore, now that Bibi displayed his real face in saying that there will never be a Palestinian state as long as he is Prime Minister, at last!, the Palestinians will no longer feel required to take part in fake ‘peace talks.’ — At least until Bibi leaves office.
