For thousands of years the Jews dreamed of reclaiming their country. The left had another dream.
It dreamed of a country run by bureaucrats that worked only three days a week. It dreamed of unions running monopolies that worked whenever they liked and charged whatever they wanted. It dreamed of children raised on collective farms without parents and of government as a Socialist café debate.
Most of all it dreamed of a country without conservatives. It still hasn’t gotten that wish.
Netanyahu’s victory hit hardest in Tel Aviv where, as Haaretz, the paper of the left, reports, “Leftist, secular Tel Aviv went to sleep last night cautiously optimistic only to wake up this morning in a state of utter and absolute devastation.”
Tel Aviv is ground zero for any Iranian nuclear attack. Its population density makes it an obvious target and Iran threatened it just last month. A nuclear strike on Tel Aviv would not only kill a lot of Israelis, it would also wipe out the country’s left.
Haifa and Tel Aviv are the only major cities in Israel that the left won in this election. And it was a close thing in traditionally “Red Haifa” whose union dockworkers these days are Middle Eastern Jews who vote right. The left took a quarter of the vote in Haifa to a fifth for Netanyahu’s conservative Likud party.
In Tel Aviv however, the Labor coalition and Meretz, the two major leftist parties, took nearly half of the vote. Amos Oz’s daughter told Haaretz that everyone in the left had been upbeat because everyone they knew was voting for the left.

Man that piece didn’t mince meat.
The Two-State Solution was always meant to end in a One-State Solution.
Great article.
Their Left is like OUR left... when they can’t sail the boat, they foul the rigging.
Well said.
A poser it is.
Most recipes for "Mincemeat" don't have any meat in them at all.
One wonders (at least this one does) if such a misnomer could be the root cause of various types of aberrant behavior?
Any day that secular leftists wake up devastated is a good day.
(The smell of leftist whining in the morning is a wonderful
smell.)
IMHO
“...when they can’t sail the boat, they foul the rigging.”
How well said.
(They’re a bunch of adolescent, subversive punks.)

> Man that piece didn’t mince meat.
Just leftists.
Yep. He’s right, of course.
Nothing like a nice hot cup of schadenfreude.
IIRC, “meat” once meant any kind of food. Thus the line from Romeo and Juliet: “Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat.”
At one time, mincemeat did contain suet and a small amount of actual meat.
Somebody put it on a vegan diet.
“Nothing like a nice hot cup of schadenfreude.”
Seasoned with a bit of satisfaction, laced with the essence of rapture, infused with a bit of pleasure and sometimes served cold.
IMHO
Truly we live in a vale of tears.
You are a talented chef.
