I really cannot stand this schmuck. He's a genocidal lying jackass, bombing the crap out of Gaza at the drop of a hat - and now he's taking advantage of the Charlie Hebdo massacre to encourage French Jews to move to Israel???

"Come to Israel, all you Frenchy-french Jews, you'll be much safer from Muslim terrorists there!"

Stupid Israeli extremists assassinated the wrong Prime Minister.

He's a slick politician.

He's a rabid rightwinger. Not good for a secular and prosperous Israel, not good for the region and ultimately not good for the world. He makes a living by fear mongering and a constant state of war.

So, a slick politician, then?

I know this. He's also a slick politician. He's a regular on American television with rationales excusing his country's horseshit that sound reasonable until you start digging into them. He knows the American electorate at least as well as any American politician, and tunes his fiddle to their pitch.

That's because he spent 7 years as a tween/teen in Philadelphia, and later returned to the USA to get a degree from M.I.T. He knows how to manipulate fluently in both English and Hebrew.

He's a demagogue and scumball.

Yes, he is. But he gets much more credit in the USA than in Europe.

The response to his "encouragement" was priceless, the audience started singing the French national anthem.

Also, he was apparently asked not to attend the march, but showed up anyhow. Scumbag.

More like a one trick pony. A truly slick politician might show a little more audience awareness, adaptability and versatility.

I know it's random, but saying his name like that is also weird to me. In East Africa and Swahili, 'Bibi' is like 'Mrs'. I wonder if he knows that?
