In reply to the discussion: Netanyahu: Scandinavians are spending millions to try and topple me. It's a worldwide plot. [View all]Tarheel_Dem
(31,453 posts)25. His little stunt backfired, not only here, but at home. His approval has dropped below 40% here.
And his disapproval rose by 5%. http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-approval-in-us-drops-after-congress-speech/. He brought it on himself for injecting himself in this country's politics. I have no doubt we'll continue our relationship with Israel, however, not in the same unanimous way as before. Even American Jews who have been very supportive are pissed that he would jeopardize the relationship for his own politics.
He shit his bed, and now he has to lie in it. There's a stench of desperation about him now. "Scandinavia"? Really?

OP
Likud got 23% of the Jewish vote in the last election, Obama got almost 3 times more.
