Don't believe Israeli polls--they are more crooked than ours. Kadima may not get 5 seats by the time the election occurs--Olmert might not even make to the election as they are finding dirt on a daily basis....
One would hope.
But at the height of OSLO, just before the recent violence was unleashed, a poll found that 28% of Israelis trusted Arafat.
There is a significant number of Israelis who are out of their minds. You'll know the exact number by those who vote Kadima.
Very nice bit of wishful thinking on your part. The polls in 2003 proved to be very accurate. I do not believe that you are at all correct. Kadima will win this election. The only open question is whether Likud/Netanyahu will do another flip-flop and join the coalition (my preference) or if Prime Minister Olmert will have to look to the left for coalition partners (bad for our economic future, probably means disengagement will be overdone).
The dean at the college of journalism my wife attended fought in the Israeli War of Independence back in '48.
He came back here because he couldn't tolerate the bias in their news media ;-D
