Israeli Left Mocks ‘Bibi’s Bet on Romney’

As the Israeli news blog +972 reported, Mr. Netanyahu’s political opponents on the Israeli left, gloating over the failure of ‘Bibi’s bet on Romney,’ were filled with hope that Mr. Obama might soon remind their prime minister that he had backed the loser. In one image passed around on Facebook by Israelis on Wednesday, with Hebrew-language dialogue added in speech bubbles to photographs of the two leaders, the imagined exchange between the two men went like this:

Mr. Obama: ‘Benjamin, what’s up? Say, remember how much you intervened and tried to influence the presidential elections here in the States?’
Mr. Netanyahu: ‘Yeah, why?’
Mr. Obama: ‘Oh, no reason.’

Are you ready for the imagery war -- the war against personal photography and capturing of video? You'd better be.
