Its amazing how the polls are neck and neck, I really believe come the day of the vote likud will win big, there is no reason to go left, the world is on fire around us its time for country to be united and deal with security issues, social issues are part of a growing country that will be dealt with by either party but
Security only the right.. status quo has been good for many years and will be good for many years more.
This whole oslo process has been nothing but a disaster time for new way fwd.
The status quo is good? How can you possibly say that? Netanyahu has alienated the entire world, pissed off Israel’s strongest ally, exaggerated Iran’s nuclear capabilities and missed opportunity after opportunity to seal the deal with Abbas. He is a failure.
If the world hates bibi its because he’s for israel. .. close deal with abbas u must be joking…there is no deal that will satisfy the palestianians, please stop dreaming..
And the world doesn’t hate us only obama hates us as he’s deff anti semite will diff world views..
What planet do you live on?
(I’m sorry, but “seal the deal with Abbas” is what pushed me over. Where is there any proof Abbas wants a deal?)
Secular-conservative icon Bill Whittle declares Bibi the leader of the free world:
There is a polling theory in the US called the Bradley Effect or the Wilder Effect. You may have something similar: the voter polled intends to vote for a disapproved candidate – in context in the US, that has usually meant voting for a white candidate instead of a historically significant minority candidate – but tells the pollster she will vote for the preferred candidate because she feels a bit guilty or embarrassed. After the fact, pollsters concluded that no such effect occurred in President Obama’s two presidential campaigns, but given media reaction to the PM, I could imagine a small such effect, especially given that what would be an unnoticeable effect in the US would loom very large in a country as small as Israel.
I’m trying to imagine whom that would affect. Maybe Arabs voting for another party?
In the US election, I think it carried all the way into the voting booth. 🙂
I didn’t see security issues as such a big deal, because every PM seems to do basically the same thing. Israel is not an 800-pound-gorrilla like the US; it is bounded in by its so-called friends on one side and its enemies on the other. This does not leave a PM with a lot of options.
I agree regarding the security status quo; doing nothing is probably the best we can do at this point (leaving out Iran). On the other hand, civil marriage or overly-cheap conversions (I do NOT mean Rabbi Druckman; I mean the bill that almost passed) are a greater threat to the existence of the Jewish people than Iran. That’s all we need; to be two nations that cannot marry each other.
