Here's one of many accounts that are not 'hogwash'.

Repeat hogwash. Israel is a country of 7 million people who are free to vote as they choose. There are three competing parties of which the nominal left Labor, actually moderate, came in third last time. Not one of the three parties is likely to get a majority so there will be a coalition and Likud has a big advantage because the Russians and the ultra-Orthodox Shas are unlikely to go to the other parties unless they win big. Meanwhile the economy is good here, terrorism is under control, Shalit is free, Netanyahu is in good shape.

Likud traditionally has the support of the poor people here. He lost it in 2006 because as finance minister he brought in draconian measures which hurt them. But in retrospect he saved us from the problems that the US and Europe have undergone ever since. The poor came back in the last election and that’s why Likud won. Likudniks were well represented in the demonstrations. They weren’t looking to change the government. They expected their government to do something and it did just that.

If you are going to quote a Maariv article, give the name, especially of the writer. Out of hundreds of articles that are published every day, there was only one on this subject? I think there’s been more on potential snowstorms in Tel Aviv which never happen.
