The right picked up seats, but may have split their vote for the top spot, allowing the more liberal chick to win (according to exit polls).

[wolfcreek]

Is this the party that likes to DEFEND?

Looks like the lib woman won. So where do you get you info.?

[sunmars]

apparently she aint got it in the bag yet, the military votes make a big chunk and are outstanding and are expected to go Bibi’s way.

Just curious - is Ariel Sharon still alive. I hadn’t heard that he died. Last I knew he was in a coma.

I just head a local talk show here in Oregon. The host was talking to Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post. It was her stated view that exit polls are notoriously bad in Israel. She also stated that Livni ran a great campaign and Netanyahu's campaign was dragged down by errors. Glick is obviously worried that Israel has elected another very weak coalition government.

She was of the opinion that Israelis are self-deluded and live in a imaginary world populated by Peace Niks. Glick was very upset. These events happened in a flash. She was railing about Obama and Iran. It appears to her that America has very weak allies in the World. The future is obviously at risk.

Voters everywhere lack the attention span of eight graders.

The Labor Party collapsed and Meretz has practically disintegrated. Israel has moved Right.

Sorry, meant to include this, from Women in Green, with the poster.

Dear Friends,

Menachem Ussishkin, one of the leaders and founders of the Zionist movement, President of the 20th Zionist Congress, said, among many other strong statements about our right to this Land: "WHEN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WILL REDEEM THE LAND OF ISRAEL, THE LAND OF ISRAEL WILL REDEEM THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL."

Today, Tuesday, February 10th, we in Israel are going to the polls to vote for a new leadership.

Some people are still wavering as to whom to vote for.

At a time when internal and external enemies have only one agenda: taking away from us the Land of Israel; shrinking Israel back to its 1948 borders and create a Arab Jihadist terror state in Judea and Samaria in order to destroy the State of Israel; it is clear that we, in our vote, must focus on the issue of the Land of Israel and we must make sure to elect as many Land of Israel Knesset members as possible.

Women in Green call upon all to vote for the party that has the most proud Jewish Zionist patriotic leaders. Leaders, religious and non religious, who do not fear to tell the left, the Arabs and the world that the entire Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel based on the Torah of Israel.

May Hashem give the People of Israel the wisdom to oust the Left and install a Jewish government that is true to our heartfelt ideals of Eretz Yisrael to Am Yisrael based on Torat Yisrael.

With Love for Israel,

The same will happen here once the Messiah’s “security” policies result in dead Americans.

[dervish]

Yisrael Beitenu holds all the cards. They most likely will go with Likud even though they refused to commit before.

[M. Espinola]

For the sake of Israeli national survival, the Likud must pull off a victory, even it it means forming a coalition.

[Biggirl]

She will head, but in truth the conservatives will hold the real power by the numbers.
