Israeli PM makes appeal to US voters: Elect president willing to draw ‘red line’ with Iran

84. Fortunately, I doubt that Netanyahu has any influence on how Americans vote

The convergence between the right-wingers of different countries is unfortunately increasing all the time. When I joined DU in 2004, there was plenty of collaboration between the American and British Right on foreign policy, but not on domestic policy - now we have British politicians praising Republican economic policies, trying to imitate American right-wing policies on education and health, and in one case (Hannan) organizing a 'Brighton Tea Party'. Liam Fox, our ex-Defence Secretary and still a British MP, has apparently been advising Romney (this is after he got sacked by Cameron - and it's not easy to get sacked by Cameron! - for his actions as Defence Secretary). And now Netanyahu opens his mouth. But I don't think that either is likely to influence American voters, any more than the American Right will in general influence our voters or the Israeli voters, much as they may try.
