How any Israeli would “revile” Bibi is beyond comprehension.
Sometimes, even great men are voted out of power, because people see them as needed for a certain time only. Recall how Churchill lost all his influence in England after helping Britain win two wars.
I hope Bibi hangs on, for the stability of that country, but it would’nt surprise me if he did not. Recall how our own country has twice stabbed itself in the proverbial belly by electing President Obama/Jarrett.
Even with a certain degree of voter fraud, it should never have been that close, if people were thinking vs just feeling.
HOw about Israel as a country is on the line?
If the Israeli libs win, Israel will cease to exist in short order cause those bastards will not stand up to the GODless moosie turds.
No matter what happens...it’s God will that is playing out here.
There are 120 seats in the Israeli Knesset. So in order to form a government you need a minimum of 61. Even if Labor takes more seats than Likud they will still be 36 or 37 seats short of a majority. So if they are asked to form a government they they're going to have to attract enough of the smaller parties to form ruling coalition, and there are more right wing parties than left wing. So Labor may have the first crack at forming a government but it's far from certain that they will be able to succeed. If they can't the Likud gets their chance. When the dust settles I think Netanyahu will return but with a shakier coalition than he has now.
Do the Israelis really have enough of a death wish as not elect him?
If he loses, he will consider his political career a failure. He was confronted with an existential threat from lunatic “death loving” mullahs who made their apocalyptic intentions clear. Netanyahu, for whatever reason, failed during his tenure to deal definitively with the threat.
If Netanyahu is the one selected to form a coalition, what do you think that coalition will look like? And would this be very upsetting to Israelis or would they just bear it for two years?
Thanks.
I would say Bibi’s legacy is already written
He will rank right up there with Chirchill,
while Obama will be our Chamberlain, if not
our Quisling.
it has to be difficult in a democratic election, but
Bibi should really have tried to find a way to bar... or kick out... the foreign ‘community organizers’ and ‘election experts’ and the rest of the Obama/Soros/IslamoNazi meddlers and $$$$$$$$$$$$ working for the opposition to undermine the government in Jerusalem
money is hard to keep out anywhere, of course
but it could at least be legally banned and watched for....
and
maybe at least the foreign/enemy ‘campaign workers’ and ‘community organizers’ and ‘election volunteers’ could be banned
it was obvious from the beginning that right now (with Obama still in our WHouse) is a terribly risky time for Bibi to have called elections. Obama’s having already overthrown or having tried to overthrow a half-dozen governments...to install the worst IslamoNazi/Muslim Brotherhood type terrorist murderering thugs into power. The whole world could see Obama was trying to undermine Jersualem, too..
If he had any way to hang on for another 22 months, it would be so much less dangerous for Israel
Israel needs to have a weak leader who will sign a 7 year peace treaty. Netenyahu is not that leader.
If the leftists in Israel are anything like the leftists in the west and the US, those nihilistic leftist idiots will sow the seeds of their own destruction, along with dragging the rest of us down with them.
If the Zionist Union wins ,Obama will control Israel
I’ve been critical of Israel and the amount of foreign aid we give them but tossing out Bibi would be a sore loss, he is a good guy. I hope in Israel they are making an issue of Obama trying to purchase his opposition. If a liberal Israeli wins, you can count on more appeasement.
There's not a lot of margin for error.
