Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will claim to represent the Jewish
people in his speech before Congress Tuesday, but the fact of the matter
is that he doesn’t even have an Israeli consensus behind him. His
journey to Washington was heavily criticized by Israeli opposition
leaders, public figures and parts of the media — especially the Haaretz and Yedioth Ahronoth dailies, which are taking a clear anti-Bibi stance ahead of these elections. [UPDATE: Netanyahu also had some bad election polls - the worst one this morning. see at the end of this post].
