People criticize me for my casual photos. Well, take a look at Netanyahu’s official twitter feed and his personal twitter account— maybe I should friend Netanyahu on facebook! I must say, these are some of the most unstatesmanlike pictures I’ve ever seen. A selection:
Here he is watching the Olympics last July.

Netanyahu opens a road near Haifa. That guy on the right is overdressed.

Netanyahu does the Moses finger with the Golani brigade. Looks like the same shirt as above. Is this the guy you want to start World War 3?

He’s getting on the plane to go to New York for the UN General Assembly with his wife.

He worked on his speech on the plane. That tie came off in a hurry.
He met the Secretary General, along with Deputy Prime Minister Avigdor Lieberman. Doesn’t look like Lieberman knows what to do with his hands, when he’s not ethnic cleansing.
Netanyahu and Ban Ki Moon
Here he is with Ban again.

Netanyahu and his wife in New York. Looks like they’re in a hotel, headed to a formal dinner. That guy on the left is on to you.

Netanyahu tweeted this shot of himself making the red line.

All done for now. Netanyahu says he’s happy to be home.
Let’s face it: he’s not a nice guy and one can almost imagine a perpetual sneer on his preppy, porcine punim. But I see nothing unusual here. Lots of Israelis, like their distant Persian cousins, don’t wear ties or pose majestically all the time.
Funny, I think he’s actually a good-looking, middle-aged man, and in these pics he looks like a very ordinary middle-class guy: businessman / father / husband / uncle / etc.
IMO, that’s probably what’s most disturbing about those photos: They belie the fact that he’s the domineering leader of an oppressive, colonialist, expansionist and supremacist state.

Bibi likes to pose in front of the Talmud and other imposing, gold-trimmed Jewish tomes. Kinda like that rabbi in A Serious Man. We are the People of the Book and I am its Leader.
Funny, they never catch that flat-screen TV in the formal pictures of that bookcase.
I wonder if those books are real or if he just paid for the spine.
LOL
Here’s a pic to contrast with Bibi’s: http://blog.holocaustresearchproject.org/2008/08/07/reichs-youth-leader—baldur-von-schirach.aspx
Any takers?
