‘Social Justice’ May Boomerang at the Polls
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/9/11 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

A new poll shows that the reaction at the polls could be a slap in the face to center-left Kadima without hurting nationalist and religious parties and clearly illusrates that the protest movement has not made a political dent in the government coalition.

The results of the Panorama poll, released on Voice of Israel government radio last week, are a blow to the ”social justice” protest movement that has tried to set up the Netanyahu government as the source of most of Israel’s social and economic problems.

If elections. were held now, the Likud party would maintain its 27 seats, the strongly nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party would gain one seat and win 16 mandates, the Shas religious party would also add one seat and have 12 Knesset Members, and the national religious parties would maintain their strength, The hareidi religious United Torah Judaism party would win six seats, one more than the present five.

On the other had, Kadima’s strength would plummet from 28 to 18. The benefactors would be the new Independence (Atzmaut) party headed by Ehud Bark, the Green party, which never has succeeded in gaining Knesset representation, and the left-wing Meretz faction, which would double its Knesset membership from three to six.

The Arab parties also would maintain their present strength if elections were held now.

Voice of Israel, which along with center-left newspapers has been promoting the social justice movement and providing day-to-day and sometimes hour-to-hour coverage of demonstrations, did not post the results of the poll on its website, an indication that the findings were not according to its desires and expectations.

Figures. That's why they have to have pop stars to attract crowds at their "spontaneous demonstrations". Now that the political nature of the "tent city" protests is common knowledge, they've become tent hamlets.

Hopefully, “social justice”, ie., socialism via back-door reparations for Holder’s people, will boomerang at the polls here in America, too.

Ken yehi ratzon. They’ll probably excuse themselves that they failed to get their message out the right way, and try again and again and again. One day, there will be a few sidewalk ranters still trying to get the message out the right way about social justice. Then a schoolboy socialist from the 1930s will wake up from hibernation, and seeing the widespread prosperity and opulence of the 21st Century will believe he’s in a worker’s paradise, only to be rudely disabused of that notion by one of these sidewalk ranters. He will then go home and shoot himself.

Israelis are going to be REALLY PISSED OFF when they find out they have been punked, and that this entire "Social Justice" movement was invented by former Clinton adviser Stan Greenberg and other American Democrat operatives - most likely at the behest of Obama/Soros/JStreet - the enemies of Israel.

Israel has long had a strong affinity for socialism which is ironic in that Jews essentially invented capitalism. Guilt?

The past century’s Jewish flirtation with secular socialism stems from refugees’ reaction to East Europe’s murderous pogroms.

Social Justice - invention of man
Justice - written by the finger of God

"Spontaneous" Ha!! An enterprising investigative journalist in Israel has come out with the information that Stanley Greenberg, Clinton's pollster, is implicated in planning out the protest strategy. The idea was to create enough social unrest that a left-wing leader would emerge and take over. Here's the link to the article.

They wanted to duplicate their success during the Clinton Administration to take out Netanyahu and replace him with Ehud Barak, who took office with the Arab 10% of population. That's the first time an Israeli government majority was based on Arab votes.

When I first saw the stories of these “sudden”, “spontaneous” demonstrations in multiple locations, I strongly suspected AstroTurf, and was not surprised a bit when the Greenberg revelations came out.

I knew it was a load of crap from the get go. There wasn’t even a smelly outhouse at any of their “tent cities”. Either their #@#$ don’t stink, or they don’t live in tents.
