I for one look forward to a funkalicious continuation of the Thizzraeli-Ballerstyllian Chronflict.

edit: seriously though I hope civillian casualties are low to non-existent and that this thing wraps up shortly.

I too hope earnestly that the leaders of both Hamas and Likud spontaneously transform into beautiful winged unicorns and spend the rest of their days flying throughout the region spreading happiness and sunshine

Someone who knows more about Israeli politics / parliamentary democracy plz help: assuming that Haaretz's current polls are 100% accurate, is there any likely feat of coalition-building that could possibly result in a prime-minister that is not Bibi? Likud has a 2-seat lead on Zionist Camp, and there's no way in hell that Habayit Hayehudi and Yisrael Beiteinu aren't gonna join the Likud coalition. And Shas. And Yachad. We're in trouble, aren't we? :smith:

I'm pretty optimistic about these poll numbers :allears:

Granted Haaretz might be painting a rosier picture for the Left than it should, but I'm seeing (a) Zionist Union beating Likud, (b) Joint List beating Habayit Hayehudi, and (c) the next biggest parties being Yesh Atid and Kulanu. I'm trying to make it a cautious optimism, but I'm still feeling pretty good about the left's chances.

Obligatory reminder that Israel does not share America's correlation between political conservatism and religious fervor, and that Zionism started as a socialist movement.
