I am shocked and amazed that our kind Bibi would do this. Truly shocked and amazed...

I see Gantz and Lapid have decided to work together to try and beat Netanyahu. What are their chances like?

What are their chances like? pretty good but it doesn't really matter because they all believe in the same things. while seein netanyahu eat poo poo would be nice, a likely scenario is he loses, lapid and gantz's gov break up a year or two in due to infighting and netanyahu wins the next elections Bear Retrieval Unit has issued a correction as of 11:45 on Feb 21, 2019 |

Jose posted:I see Gantz and Lapid have decided to work together to try and beat Netanyahu. What are their chances like? It's plausible, but by no means a sure thing. In any event, their party is still right wing, though perhaps a tad less likely to bend over backwards to accommodate religious zionist settlers, the ultra orthodox parties and literal ethnic cleansing advocates. The real major question in this election is whether Meretz and the Arab parties manage to pass the threshold or not, especially now that the Joint Arab List has fallen apart due to infighting. If not, we're even more screwed than before, even if Gantz beats Bibi, because the only parties in the Knesset will be various flavors of right-wing.

can someone explain Israel's political system? it seems like Bibi has been taking full advantage of how much it sucks

get that OUT of my face posted:can someone explain Israel's political system? it seems like Bibi has been taking full advantage of how much it sucks It’s proportional representation based on closed party lists It can’t function because the ideology is national conservative or religious national. The opposition is either the enemy Arabs, regardless of whether they are communists, or neoliberals It also has a bit of a Bosnian clusterfuck to it because everything is understood in terms of winner takes all national strength within the representative system.

get that OUT of my face posted:can someone explain Israel's political system? it seems like Bibi has been taking full advantage of how much it sucks as far as I understand, which isn't much, the center-left party really sucks and undermined their support base with dumb moves a decade or two back, such as coalitioning with Likud and other far-right parties. This led to a drastic drop in the liberal elites' support at the exact time when Likud was already on the rise, creating a power vacuum that Bibi was happy to fill and use as an opportunity to establish his party's long-term dominance by giving far-right groups government backing and defunding entities critical of the right.

to be clear, the center-left party is Labor, right? reminds me of how the Socialists in Hungary had that audio leaked of the prime minister saying that they lied about everything, which led to Orban getting a supermajority and rigging the system that way

Peres on the behast of washington did shock therapy on the kibbutz system in the 80s and tried to turn the whole area into a neolib free trade hellzone with the disembowlment of the kibbutz system there was no longer a united support base outside of city liberals then they lost the lower middle classes to Likud by going neoliberal basically they have no real electorate and the nationalists have a dedicated ideological base and much of the population that rejects neoliberal reforms

This is a stretch, imo. Likud is explicitly a liberal party. Bibi was always full in for the "power of free market competition" rhetoric.

Yeah, but like all proper right wing "free market" people he knows that a the free market is for some and not for all. Plenty of pork, protectionism, and other privileges for the right kind of people. And graft, lots of graft and corruption.

Bibi's getting indicted also, on an unrelated note, this is depressing as hell https://www.timesofisrael.com/bride-drums-up-controversy-at-her-wedding/ posted:A young bride’s drumming skills landed a wedding hall and a band in trouble earlier this month, after ultra-Orthodox authorities complained that her performance didn’t jibe with “modesty” considerations.
