Their platform is basically privatize everything, charter schools, kicking out all the arabs (literally claiming most arabs want to leave israel anyways) and my personal favorite giving control of the temple mount to the israeli rabbinate.

the Israeli far right has spent a while openly telegraphing their intentions to weaken or overturn any governmental entity capable of acting as a check on their dominance in the Knesset. for example, calling for the courts to be weakened and for the power of judicial review to be taken away

and this election was in large part a referendum on the blatant corruption and growing fascist tendencies in Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's longest-sitting PM in history

if he wins again, he's gonna take it as his green light from the voters to get real fascist real fast

I feel like a war against Hezbollah is probably next. Netanyahu knows it's inevitable, Trump is the friendliest US president he'll ever have to get away with whatever he wants, and his last year in office could be next year.

not good, folks

quote:

Haaretz are reporting that Benny Gantz has written to party members to say although its “looking bleak”, the possibility of “electoral shifts” remains.

“It’s looking bleak but the results are not yet final. It’s possible that there will be electoral shifts, and that we can make certain political moves,” he wrote, according to the paper. “They wanted a different way and we showed it to them. We will not back down from our public duty to represent over a million people who asked us for something different. It’s an unprecedented historical victory. We should be proud.”

However, the Times of Israel says the head of the secular right-wing nationalist party Yisrael Beytenu, Avigdor Liberman, has confirmed to Ynet news site that it will either support prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or remain in opposition.

“Either we join Netanyahu’s government or we remain in the opposition, we are also in the opposition, we understand the balance of power,” Liberman said.

Lieberman, whose party appears to have won five seats, had previously backed Gantz in a row over the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict earlier this year, according to Ynet.

it's sad that liberals and centrists keep falling for the same trap of "we'll try to appeal to conservatives without the baggage!" It didn't work against Berlusconi, it didn't work against Trump, and it's never going to work against Bibi. Nobody cares about corruption. Like, if we had President Bernie, I'm trying to imagine what he would have to do to make me vote for the GOP. You have to give people something to vote for.

And similar to the failed idea of winning over moderate Republicans, there just aren't enough moderate decorum Israelis who don't like Bibi but don't like Arabs. Whatever calls itself the left or the center or whatever is going to have to make some sort of appeal to Arab voters if they ever want to win again. (They won't.)
