JERUSALEM – Far-right Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman has endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu for prime minister.

Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party made the announcement at a meeting Thursday with Israeli President Shimon Peres. The move all but guarantees Netanyahu a majority in the new parliament, essentially paving his path to the premiership.

This pretty much seals it. Netanyahu is going to be the next prime minister of Israel.

Things are going to get real interesting with a right wing bloc dominating the Israeli government, especially while we have the Obama administration here in the US.

The most disturbing aspect of all this is the rise of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, who are secular ultranationalists. This party managed to get the third highest amount of seats in the Parliament, ahead of the Labor party.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That was obvious, but still sad. Congratulations Israel, you just lost the respect you had left to most of the world.

So the countdown to bombing Iran has finally begun.

Two right wing extremists in power.

requests to topple Hamas, change the electoral system, fund immigrants and find solutions for converts seeking an easier path into Judaism and couples seeking recognition for civil unions without a religious ceremony.

There's a few good things, but Lieberman is still a crazy extremist who hates arabs.

More than likley we are going to see "unfinished" business in Lebanon and Gaza finished. Unlike before there will be no leash holding the IDF. The leash and the gloves will be coming off.

I wouldn't be surprised if Syria gets a bloody nose in all of this too.
