20. The Bibi victory is no surprise to me.

He trumpeted a racist election eve message and got his kind out to vote.

Israelis routinely destroy Palestinian homes, property and chop down olive trees in the dead of night.

Many are as racist as Bibi.

It should be no surprise he can energize these bad people to help him stay in power.

Israel is a racist, apartheid state, with many citizens acting as willful agents of hate.

Many Americans blindly wave the flag in support of these monsters, willfully ignoring their part in the destruction of Palestine.

Their will be nothing more than new destruction until the rest of the world, or his own people have had enough and hand him his hat.

We have the same problem in this country. Fear and loathing drive votes more than a desire to take responsibility for the welfare of our brothers and sisters who are less fortunate.

Shame on all of us.
