As Israelis prepared to head to the polls in a tightly contested national election, embattled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday got one last bit of help from septuagenarian tough guy Chuck Norris.
The former star of “Walker Texas Ranger” stumped for Netanyahu in a YouTube video posted to the star’s own account, simply titled, “Please vote for Prime Minister Netanyahu!”
“I watched Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech before Congress, and I saw a man who loves his country with all his heart and soul,” Norris said in the video.
The actor and martial arts enthusiast stressed that only Netanyahu’s Likud Party could bring Israel peace and security.
“I have done three movies in Israel, Delta Force being my favorite, and I formed many friendships while there,” he went on. “You have an incredible country, and we want to keep it that way.”
Over the last few days, Netanyahu has made a last-minute appeal to right-wing voters in Israel as center-left parties nudged ahead of Likud in the polls.
Norris said that Americans needed a leader like Netayanhu just as much as Israelis, in order to ward off “evil forces” in the Middle East and throughout the world.
“Thank you for listening to me,” he concluded.

Oy, vey
Bad Actor for Bad Actor…
Pro-Bibi…it’s the new anti-Obama…because, frankly, that’s the only reason we’re seeing bullshit like this.
So…is this a case of “dumbass pretend cowboy to the rescue” even though he wasn’t asked, or “truly desperate Bibi scrabbling desperately”?
Anything that takes Chuck away from his acting career cannot be a bad thing.
