Why is Netanyahu appealing directly to "former residents of the Soviet Union" to vote for Likud (Machal)? Well, Netanyahu is just appealing to his base. What most Americans are completely unaware of is that after the Soviet Union fell, about a million Bolshevik jews immigrated to israel and were responsible for the Likud party surge that swept it into power in the late 1990s, has kept it in power virtually ever since, and has made Netanyahu the longest serving PM in israeli history. Think about that irony as you listen to normie American Conservatives, Republicans and zionist Christians whine about communism while proclaiming that we have to keep supporting "Our Greatest Ally."
