I want to caution those reading about this election as one that will produce much change. Most if not all Israelis are not suddenly going to hand the country over to Hamas or the PLO. The Pals are not very popular with anyone in Israel besides the Arab minority of Israeli citizens. Israelis are realists and they unlike the western left understand that the Arabs / Muslim world have no intention of allowing Israel to exist.

Bibi is the Dick Cheney of Israeli politics: in government forever and he keeps failing upward.

As voters headed to the polls for an election that could end the reign of Benjamin Netanyahu’s rightist Likud party, the Israeli prime minister warned supporters that the country’s Arab citizens were voting “in droves,” imploring right-wing Israelis to help “close the gap.”

Speaking in Hebrew in a video posted to his Facebook page, Netanyahu said, ”The right-wing government is in danger. Arab voters are coming out in droves to the polls. Left-wing organizations are bussing them out.”

The powers that be want limited democracy and strict voter regulations. This is probably more dominant in the USA than in Israel and they are getting their way. Scare tactics are classic, no surprise there.
