‘This is the abyss’: Left reacts with horror to election results
Times of Israel ^ | 2/1/22 | Jeremy Sharon

Meretz minister Esawi Frej says Labor leader Merav Michaeli’s ‘delusions of grandeur’ brought about the center-left’s electoral downfall

Left-wing politicians were reacting with horror and dismay on Wednesday to the decisive electoral victory of the right-wing, religious bloc in the general election, expressing extreme concern in particular over the strong influence the far-right Religious Zionism party will likely wield in the next government.

And recriminations among left-wing parties for their poor showing in the election had also begun, with Regional Cooperation Minister Esawi Frej of the Meretz party blaming the leader of the Labor party, Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli, for the loss, citing her refusal to unite the two parties.

Michaeli staunchly refused to unite her party with Meretz on a joint electoral slate ahead of the election, insisting that both parties would be able to pass the electoral threshold by themselves.

With some 86 percent of the votes counted, Labor looked set to win just four seats, compared to the seven seats it won in the last election, while it appeared Meretz would fail to cross the electoral threshold, thereby losing all representation in the Knesset altogether.

They briefly succeeded in kneecapping Netanyahu via accusations and scandal.

He’s back.

Hard to believe Israel has leftists. Rather suicidal in a state surrounded by tens of millions of anti-semites. But for some reason there is a Tel Aviv liberal who thinks that the state should find accommodation with the fanatics.

. . . the decisive electoral victory of the right-wing, religious bloc in the general election

As opposed to marginal victories by the far left usually, if not always, obtained by considerable lying and cheating?

Where they raise hell is usually in thoroughly blue cities, with feckless BS mayors. Red cities have looser gun laws, so they da’sn’t try torching any stores, rioting or looting in Miami or Dallas. But Seattle is doomed. Likewise Portland and Frisco.

Pardon my ignorance of your faith, but throughout history, Christians have been pretty feisty at times, sometimes too feisty. There has to be some way to re-kindle that spirit. It isn’t all “spread the other cheeks,” is it?
