Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared victory after the first exit polls released following Tuesday's elections showed the Likud ahead of, or tied with, the Zionist Union.
Netanyahu wrote on his Facebook page: "Against all odds, a great victory for the Likud, for the nationalist camp led by the Likud, and for the people of Israel."
The numbers for Netanyahu's Likud were better than expected after pre-election polls had showed him trailing Isaac Herzog's Zionist Union by as much as five mandates.
The Zionist Union rejected conjecture that the results of the exit polls show that Netanyahu will form the next coalition.
"The Likud continues to err. The right-wing bloc has gotten smaller. Everything is open until the final results are in and we will know which parties passed the electoral threshold and what kind of government we can form. All of the spin and the commentary is too early. We have formed a negotiating team with the goal of putting together a coalition led by Herzog."

“Yeah, but on Domestic issues ... Netanyahu would also sound like a Democrat to many FReepers. “
True, but the way Israeli politics work, their “left” is flat out Communist, period. So, it’s all relative.
I broke a big wide smile when I saw the photo..
“Israel just dodged a bullet. Netanyahu stands between them and destruction, I believe.”
The Jews have faced the Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Romans, the Muslims and the Nazis. Many an emperor have long since turned to dust and the Jews still go about their business.

“To Serve Man”
Perhaps Freeper dead could photoshop the "This Space For Rent" on the forehead again.

God had an answer for Obama and his attempts to Steal yet another election:
"I AM THAT I AM!
Exodus 3:14
Obama looks like the little boy that dropped his bubble gum in the chicken coop and found it 6 times.
many are available to choose from online

You can train in all the traditional calls on YouTube
I kid you not ....it’s all there
There you go again ... lying as usual.
I keep telling you that I have been in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the first time he was Prime Minister in the Clinton days. I have told you and have posted here for years that I support Prime Minoster Benjamin Netanyahu 100% in his actions and policies ... even when other FReepers have criticized me for it.
But you don’t criticize me for my support of Prime Minoster Benjamin Netanyahu ... you simply LIE about it and say that I don’t.
You’re turning into a real big LIAR here on Free Republic. I guess it’s good to know who the LIARS are on Free Republic and you’re definitely one of them.
Cool ... I’ll have to check them out when I get one to practice on. I’m sure I’m going to be startling my neighbors when they hear it! ... LOL ...
Not soro’s States Secretaries of State, bought and paid for, as were many in USA in 08 and 12.
With nobama’s slime bunch over there medling in Isreali politics, I knew with no doubt, that those misleading polls showing poorly for Bibi were standard dem push polls.
LOL, love it!!
I’ll hold on that, and may post it later, when I see how things shake out. If it does turn into a battle for being able to form the new government, I’ll definitely be posting more about that!
I’m kind of liking the parliamentary system recently. Ever since we got a King in the US the parliamentary system makes more sense to me.
Issue with the US is that if the President wants to ignore everything he can and there isn’t anything to stop him (assuming he’s popular enough). So we are basically voting for a dictator.
In a parliament you’re basically voting for a king of congress so there is no real dictator. If you lose their support you’re done. The down side is it can have sweeping changes from parliament to parliament; however, as we see with the US system...if the King/president wants to do whatever he wants then he still enforces his will on the people without any support of the congress.
So what if they find that Obama personally gave Tax Payer dollars to support the opposition. No one here will do jack about it. It will just make us more frustrated.
