Israelis recognize Netanyahu's speech before Congress was for political gain.

"Recent polls place Herzog's party either neck-in-neck or 1 or 2 points ahead of Netanyahu's Likud Party."

The election is March 17.

"Reuven Hazan, a political scientist at Hebrew University, said, "The speech was predominantly inspired by domestic political concerns and not necessarily Israel's security. It could have been delivered three weeks ago or two weeks from now.""

Smart.

Obama and Clinton pay women less than men.

"Does this mean that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both discriminate against women, that they are themselves part of the nefarious “war on women” that so many on the left loudly denounce? The poetic justice in the recent “pay gap” revelations is that the fundamental fraud in the statistics that are thrown around comes back to bite those who are promoting that fraud for political purposes.
What makes such statistics fraudulent is that they are comparing apples and oranges.
Innumerable studies, going back for decades, have shown that women do not average as many hours of work per year as men, do not have as many consecutive years of full-time employment as men, do not work in the same mix of occupations as men and do not specialize in the same mix of subjects in college as men."

Supply and demand. Same in Hollywood.

Putin's critics don't blame him for killing another critic, which is what the US hoped for. This looks more and more like a western political assassination.
