The Likud has ceded only 1 seat which the Zionist Union didn’t pick up. In fact, they lost a seat!

It doesn’t augur well for Buzi’s prospects of becoming Prime Minister.

Better headline would have been: “With Twenty Five percent of the popular vote in, Bebe is stomping Obama skinny brown @$$.”

I’m just glad the Israel election wasn’t tilted by attempts at foreign interference.

...unlike the US election of 2008 which WAS successfully influenced by globalist socialists.

Their golden chile even got a Nobel pizz prize for doing nothing.

Spit on their rotten souls.

So far, 1.038% of votes cast were invalid. I am curious what causes that as it’s a rather simple voting procedure (simply taking the card for the desired party and placing it in an envelope).

People didn’t mark their ballot correctly or they double marked their ballots.

Its remarkable so few votes are invalid.

Zionist Union has now dropped a full percentage point to 18%!

I’m calling it now - the Jewish Fat Lady has sung.

Need Likud to get to 31 to be able to form a coalition without the Orthodox.

Its a remarkable come from behind win.

By comparison, that’s a pick up of five net seats from the last Knesset. That’s an added number, not just a shift within the Right.
