Polls show Israelis may be subconsciously worried about Obama
Nov. 21, 2008
Benjamin Netanyahu is gaining in the polls leading up to a February election for prime minister while Kadima leader Tzipi Livni is losing ground. As Israel swings toward the right, it seems some of it has to do with fear that a left-wing Israeli government combined with a left-wing American government would strip Israel of her defenses and favor the Palestinians too heavily in land-for-peace deals.
Netanyahu is not planning on losing this time: He has seemingly copied the design of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign website and he just hired two Obama advisors this week.
Ynet reports that Netanyahu, the opposition leader, finalized the employment of Bill Knapp and Josh Isay, who have worked in recent years with candidates of the Democratic Party in the United States, including former President Bill Clinton, Senator Joe Lieberman, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and president-elect Obama.
