Bibi blames his election woes on the international Christian conspiracy:-
"Scandinavian governments have spent millions of dollars on a campaign to remove me from power," he said in an interview on the Kol Israel radio station.
"Western governments, but mostly Scandinavian...They know perfectly well why they prefer Buji and Livni [his opponents in the elections] to me," Israeli PM added, as cited by The Local.

wow - he must be in hot waters if he think Sweden, Denmark and Norway would spend millions of dollars, to topple him from power - I suspect he might be able to topple himself out of the government by his own actions, rather han that Scandinavia, who for years have been involved in trying to make some form of peace in the middle east - most notable between Israel and the palestinian people - and I suspect we was close to a deal who could have benefited both people - in the mid 1990s - when everything was falling apart again - and then the hardliners, like mr Netanyahu started to do what they have been doing - and the prospect of a peace deal - and a separate palestinian state to be more remote than ever before...
I think mr Netanyahu either is playing with fire - or is more paranoid than he ever have been - as it looks like he might as well be finished in Israels politic, or at least as head of the government - for the time being .... And I do think the scandinavian states would like one who is little more willing to compromise to get a lasting peace - than a person who will never back down - and never compromise, if it goes in the disfavor of Israel that is...

There go those Scandinavians again trying to rule the world. They are tired of 'imposing' high living standards on their own citizens and are out to do the same elsewhere.
Bibi needs a new conspiracy speech writer.

(6,068 posts)when you ring them up to complain about a missing part they send out torq screw or whatever except that they put mind rays in it is connected to the Lutheran church with the mind rays and they make people vote for people that are not me.
I think the mind rays work like Bluetooth. Who invented Bluetooth? Scandinavians. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!! They put the bluetoothy rays in the lingonberey jam with the meatballs. If you listen to the swedish chef on the muppets he is saying bluetooth bluetooth noony noony noon. You never her about this in the main stream media because its all anti Israel.

One of the most unpopular leaders in the world. Does he expect sympathy or something?
Cheers to the Scandinavians and anyone else who can dethrone the delusional man who thinks he is the President of the US.

(3,795 posts)Well, this is a difficult one. Scandinavia or Bibi. Tough choice there. Very tough choice.
Of course, it is very possible that Bibi is full of shit. Never, ever rule that out.
And, Bibi there are people all over the world who are working to get your ass out of office. It's not a conspiracy. We really don't like you.
