When she says “extremist”, is she talking about people who think Jews should live in security in Israel, and that Israel should deal roughly with Muslim terrorists?
How can anyone take seriously some whose name is Zippy.
“Livni’s party has not gained the momentum she had hoped for...”
Good.
The polls have stabilized and show the Likud getting 35 seats - double that for nearly any other party. Habayit Yehudi should finish a strong third. A center-right coalition government of 71 looks like its in the cards. Comfortable enough to last a four year term. I expect that Netanyahu’s coalition partners will recommend him again as PM after the election later this month.
As the Ein Sof moves Bnei Yisrael closer to Torah observance in spirit as well as by the letter, Leftist idiots such as Livni will continue to become more and more irrelevant.
The Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu temporary merger PLUS the Jewish Home look to get close to 50 seats, and just a few seats from a majority.
In this case, Netanyahu would be able to go other religious parties, possibly the center party Yesh Atid, and might even bring in a Druze or Arab minister.
He would be in a very strong position, and would not have to make a lot of concessions. But, make no mistake, the man is a consummate tactician in deal-making in the context of Israel’s parliamentary system.
Zippy is flummoxed by Netanyahu’s mastery of the situation. As head of Kadima (now kaput), she had an opportunity to form a very strong, secular government, if she would have accepted being the junior partner (and foreign minister) in a Netanyahu government. This government could have been very effective in bringing resolution to the two-state “solution.”
But, she got her panties into a pinch and demanded an equal position. And, now, after being eased out of Kadima, and forming a much smaller centrist party, she is reduced to name-calling.
Anyone who wears a kippa, eats only kosher, or observes the Sabbath is an “extremist” to these vampires.
