Polls show Netanyahu's Likud extending significant lead

The latest pre-election poll in Israel has Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party extending its lead over the currently ruling Kadima Party, and keeping the lead for the past few weeks The results of the poll issued in the paper "Yisrael hayom" predicted Likud winning 35 Knesset seats to just 26 for Kadima in the February 10 general election. Ehud Barak's Labor Party continues its fall to just 8 seats in the latest poll. The poll showed Likud and other right-of-center parties winning a commanding bloc , more than enough for Netanyahu to form a stable majority coalition.

Labor is entering Meretz territory status. The Left's defeat will not mean much in a country in which it has control over the media, the bureaucracy, intelligence community and law enforcement and the police.

IOW same as here?

I hope Netanyahu’s lead holds. We need him desperately to offset anything Obama tries to jam down Israel’s throat. I am saying multiple prayers for Netanyahu’s victory.

Yep. With the exception of the Jerusalem Post and Arutz Sheva, Israel's media is practically Occupied Territory for Israel's Left. The bias is extreme. The only good thing to be said about Haaretz , the New York Times of Israel, is its excellent economic correspondents, whose reporting is at odds with the paper's leftist slant. The Right faces steep odds in Israel and I expect the polls to tighten well before February.

Thank you. I did not know. That’s insight that answers some questions I have been harboring.

You would think Israel would come up with it’s own Roger Ailes to address the problem, eh?

Olmert may try to “wag the dog” and launch an attack on Iran.

[bruinbirdman]

Ol' Bibi won't be giving up the Golan any time soon.

To the consternation of GW and Condi, Olmert is diddling with Syria with nothing in return but a promise

Olmert's prosecution can't come soon enough.

Klintoon and Ehud Barak tried to give the whole of Jerusalem to Arafat. Fortunately, Yassir's aids was raging and he turned it down.

Do these guys have a death wish?

[Atchafalaya]

Actually Olmert is being diddled by Syria.

Maybe the only good thing to come out of Mumbai is that islamonazis are still hard on the march.

The idiot left constantly needs harsh reminding of the realities of life. . .

Unfortunately for the innocents.

Flaglady47, good post.
For Israels safety they need to rid themselves of the appeasers and regrow their backbone.

Just a guess, but the terror attacks in India, in which several Israelis were killed, might work to Likud’s advantage in the election.
