Zionist Union Alliance

Guardian UK: Binyamin Netanyahu fights for political survival at Israeli general election - Netanyahu faces determined opposition and an electorate who seem ready to force a change
...Netanyahu pleaded with voters on local radio last week. “I will not be elected if the gap is not closed, and there is a real danger that Tzipi [Livni] and Bougie [Herzog] will form the next government.” Herzog and Livni are the joint leaders of the centre-left Zionist Union alliance that is competing in the election.

Bibi's been busy trying to provoke violence from the palestinian side. He hopes if he pokes them enough, and they react, he'll get all the votes he need for being the "strong daddy"

That's an endless mess and I think the world recognizes that generations need to pass before anything resembling stable peaceful coexistence occurs. I suspect the vast majority of Palestinians and Israelis are sick of it completely. The thing that scares me about Netanyahu is the war on Iran stance especially when coupled with the re-arising of the neocons in GOP politics. Romney's political advisers were neocons but his election was no going to happen. Jeb Bush on the other hand has an outside chance.
