Netanyahu: ‘Serious Criminal Offenses’ in the Election

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party on Wednesday accused Arab political parties of stealing the country's election through widespread voter fraud, as preliminary results showed no clear winner.

In a statement shared by Netanyahu on the social platform X, Likud alleged that Arab parties engaged in bribery, voter intimidation and forgery to influence election results, as neither Netanyahu nor his primary challenger Gadi Eisenkot was projected to gain a parliamentary majority.

"The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters," Likud said.

"The accusations come as Netanyahu, who was endorsed by President Trump, faces an uncertain political future following an election in which an opposition bloc led by Eisenkot made historic gains and could play a decisive role in determining Israel's next government.

With 85.6 percent of ballots counted by election authorities as of Wednesday, there is no clear winner, as Netanyahu's right-wing coalition has won 53 seats, the opposition coalition has won 48 seats and the Arab parties have won 19 seats, with each bloc falling short of the 61 seats needed for a parliamentary majority."

The, "Arabs did it!"?

Please... that's not even original. It DOES sound like SOP for Authoritarians who will kill to keep power.

Look for similar claims after the Midterms here.

No wonder Pres Trump seems to take orders from PM Netyanahu.

Like two peas in a pod.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Muslims rose to positions of significant political power in both the United States and Israel?

After the recent Israeli election, that possibility doesn't seem quite so far-fetched. If it happens in both countries, many people may look back on the decision to go into Iran as the action that set it all in motion.

And who would they blame?

Trump.

What would be interesting about it?

I don't foresee a Muslim President of the United States in our lifetime.

What are you babbling about?

Does shit like this keep you up at night?

According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) 2026 Directory of Elected Muslim Officials, a record-breaking 255 Muslim Americans hold elected political office across 26 U.S. states.

Breakdown by Office Level

Local Government: 98 city council members and 11 mayors (total 109)
Education & School Boards: 63 positions
State Legislatures: 46 lawmakers (32 state representatives/assembly members and 14 state senators)
U.S. Congress: 4 to 5 members in the U.S. House of Representatives
Judiciary & Other Roles: 18 judges and 15 municipal, law enforcement, or other local roles

Before you get your panties in an uproar

There are over 500,000 elected public officials in the United States, with comprehensive historical estimates from the U.S. Census of Governments placing the total around 512,000 to 519,000.

That's 0.049%

Between 1 and 1.6% of Americans are muslim

IOW muslims are VASTLY underrepresented in public office

But you won't let facts like these get into your brain, will you, you bottom bitch in a human centipede.

Pretty sure BillJohnson's biggest worry is if Muslims take over the government they'll do what Christian white nationalists want to do to America.

It's projection.

I, for one, would hesitate to try to interpret your singular combination of hate and stupidity.
