Lapid's Yesh Atid and Livni's Hatnua are likely to crash and burn. I reckon about 2/3 of those votes will be split between Haavoda and Likud with the rest going to Liberman and Bennet. But I'm an optimist .

On a lighter note, Lieberman's statement that he is not out right rejecting sitting in the same government as Hertzog and Livni has caused a bunch of Likud members to accuse him of being a lefty.

Because it looks like they're doomed from the start. Unless some drastic shift happens they don't. The only change they have is if right wing in-fighting causes Bibi to try and make a deal with them. The reason they're talked up as a credible threat to Bibi is the same reason Romney got talked up last election, it's hard to get good ratings when there's no real competition.

loquacius posted:Obligatory reminder that Israel does not share America's correlation between political conservatism and religious fervor, and that Zionism started as a socialist movement. Early Zionizm what what passes for Zionizm today are entirely different things. And while Israeli candidates don't have to say "god bless Israel" at the end of every speech to pay lip service, an openly atheist candidate would get an unbelievable amount of poo poo from almost the entire right wing and a significant part of the center be it the Haredi parties, the settlers, or just traditional people. I found the claim that Sharon being was atheist so surprising because I don't remember anything like that happening.

emanresu tnuocca posted:I'm not that sure about that, Barak is clearly an atheist, Ben Gurion was one too, as I said maybe they were agnostic on some level but no Israeli prime minister to date was a religious person, not religious in the sense of being an observant Jew like say Naftali Bennett but also not religious in the sense of having strong religious beliefs a-la George W. Bush, splitting hairs irt to their exact stance concerning the almighty we could perhaps argue about this but they were all clearly secular, didn't observe the sabbath (most important Mitzvah) and the such, if you want to consider them as existing in the twilight zone of 'not actually practicing jew but having strong jewish superstitions' and it makes a difference for you what can I say, I tend to view most secular jews as atheistic/agnostic on some level. I think we can both agree that Arik didn't ascend the temple mount due to his own personal religious zeal. The way it feels to me at least is that while it doesn't really matter in practice, people still make the distinction between not religious and flat out atheist. Can't really explain it, I guess it's some kind of "out of sight out of mind" thing. I really don't think a candidate who'd openly declare he doesn't believe in a god won't get a bunch of his opponents shouting about what a bad Jew he is and how better they are at Judaism than him.

"Hey Arabs, we'd really stop doing business with Israel if we could, but you know, lawsuits." It is the fist example of a large company adding a bit of support to the BDS movement, though. Crying antisemitism is a reflex reaction at this point. My favorite part is how we kicked it up a notch by demanding the French government condemn a private company because they chose to do something Israel doesn't like. Can't find an english source atm but ynet is reporting the guy is trying to back out of his statements which is a real shame.

Can't find an english link, my own translation of things that were recorded being said to the family of one of the two assumed to be in Gaza by the government's representative:quote:You have two options: Point your finger at Hamas and say "You hold Abra, you're in charge of his fate, give him back to us we want to know he's alive". That's option one. Your second option is to move your fingre from Hamas to Jerusalem and say "you' re not ok, you let him pass, you didn't answer our letters". The choice is yours, I have my stance in this. What will help Israel, what will help Abra and what will help Hamas. You pick and you will be accountable. quote:I don't know if I should answer, because what happened here with the prime minister is very serious. So serious I have no words to describe it. And then the first thing the prime minister hears is that we didn't return his letters? I don't know if I want to answer you, go to whoever you want.

suboptimal posted:A Palestinian baby burned to death after settlers set a house on fire as part of a "price tag" attack near Nablus. Now these fuckheads have gone and done it. Two houses were set on fire. One was vacant, the other had a family in it. A baby died, his 4 years old brother is still in ICU, the father is in critical condition and the mother is in shock. Bibi, Yaalon, Bennet and other officials have called it terrorism. Sadly even if the fucks who did it get caught, that would be the end of it. As usual there will be no retrospect of how things got this bad, no one will talk about the years of open incitement or about the state turning a blind eye to the Pogroms committed by settlers against Palestinians. Just like with Abu Khdeir this will all go down as the act of a few "wild weeds" as people here like to say, and no one will learn a goddamn thing.
