…big deal. This story is ridiculous, but it is funny that the websites are practically the same.
In a New York Times story on the similarities of the two websites, Netanyahu aides compare him to Obama, as “the real candidate of change for Israel.” The article’s authors immediately cite that Obama and Netanyahu’s politics are polar opposites, but Bibi isn’t saying that he’s like Obama, he’s just picking up on a successful campaign strategy. If Netanyahu were elected, there would be a change for Israel. Since Oslo in 1993, Israel has tried the Obama-style politics of negotiations without preconditions, and dialogue with its enemies, and it has failed. Netanyahu is running on a platform of strength and new ideas for solving Israel’s problems.
Hey why not use a website and campaign strategy that works! Obama’s website and campaign were awesome and is a good example of what people like to see and hear. And the website looks cool with Hebrew and being blue and white… haha
