shalom dany,

how did Moshe Feiglin get to number 17 on your list ?
and where did you get this final list from ?

[Gali]

Cool it.

He is right , you guys need to cool it .

[Gali]

Herzog is in a pretty rough spot now. Liberman said he won't sit in a centre-left government hence trying to force some sort of unity government with Likud-Labour. Kachlon may dislike (like everybody who ever worked with him) Bibi but he and his base are essentialy Likud through and through. On top of that Shas\UTJ won't sit with Lapid unless the criminal sanctions of the draft law are lifted.

A Labour led centre-left-Haredi government is unlikelier than ever. Oh, and with their attempt to attract soft-right voters they are going to support Zoabi's disqualification (which the SCoJ will undo) and thus pissing off the joint Arab party.

Not the best of week for Labour. I assume they new tactic will be drain as much votes as the can from YA and Meretz so they can come to Bibi stronger when discussing a unity government.

As always the two parties least likely to get my vote are Likud and Labour

Completely agree with you .
I am seriously worried about Meretz .
They are bleeding voters to Avoda on the principal of anyone but Bibi and to Hadash due to Avraham Burg's commitment .
Supporting  Zoabi's disqualification was a huge mistake , one which will cost them .

[Gali]

1. Meretz opposed Zoabi's disqualification
2. I doubt the voters who will move from Wamab to Hadash is anywhere near as high as those who move the other way based on the Joint List + Frej's placement as #3 plus the overall leftist lean of this list as a whole.

I know that I was referring to Avoda not Meretz and was replying to Hnv1 's comment .
Voters are moving from Meretz to Hadash and to Avoda, I know because I am very leftist leaning and a Meretz voter.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Burg is the leader of the post zionist movement and its growing and looking for a home it can call its own .

[Gali]

All of Hadash Jewish voters add up to half a seat and if anything to will tilt meretz due to the union. BTW Burg also said he's against the union, still memeber of Hadash but against the union.

Forget about Burg and Hadash then .
Have you seen the latest polls ?
We will be lucky to cross the threshhold .

[Gali]

File this under "so horrendous it is hilarious"

I think we've hit peak irony...

Nothing amusing about it, just the settlers inciting against  the left, same as they did with Rabin , and we all know what that led to .

 Benny Katzover = Gush Emunim
Gush Emunim = Elon Moreh

[Gali]

Just think it's ironic that "THE great FF" for you is a commie

OTOH there's not doubt that Tamar Gozansky is a great FF.

There is doubt, communism is the antithesis of freedom.

LOL ...coming from a Likudnik .

My grandparents were communists , they were part of building the kibbutz movement , Rabin's parents were communists .

Bibi "  is the antithesis of freedom " danny , the communists have long gone .
We have replaced them with fascists ............
Bibi, Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman.

They win this election ......then Yigal Amir and Baruch Goldstein have won and god help us .
