Will Netanyahu's coalition collapse within the next year?

[Хahar 🤔]

There are few parties I hate more than Avoda.

But they're liberal, and you're liberal.

That's an amusing way of putting it.

The only party worth its salt is Hadash.

Meretz-Yachad?

I suppose they're fine, too.

I hope so.

All bias aside, it probably will.

What do you think specifically will cause it's collapse and which party and bloc (left-wing vs. right-wing) do you think will win the enxt general elections?

There is no left bloc in Israel which can win power.

Fixed your post, Hashemite.  Though I suppose "There is no significant left bloc" might be a better way of putting it.  They aren't even big enough to be a credible opposition.

Don't be surprised if people start calling Kadima 'left' soon - the terms 'left' and 'right' have been subject to more change in Israel than most other places over the years.

You know, I hate to say it, but politically, they're starting to resemble that "apartheid South Africa" line that's been thrown at them over the years.  I really don't want to be seen as part of the anti-Israel movement, due to the iffy people that cause attracts (just look at Libertas), but Israel's done a very effective job of completely alienating me.

Like apartheid SA (pre-1990), they seem to be getting more extreme and reactionary as international pressure escalates, rather than the opposite direction.  They're well on their way to pariah state status.

If it makes you feel better, the paradoxical tendency to become more 'extreme' in the face of increasing criticism has hardly been limited to South Africa during the bad old days; a less troublesome example would be Ulster Protestants in the 1970s. It's also a better example to use on bare factual grounds because of the environment of total fragmentation - which was never true of white South Africa.

What people and parties are called usually depends on the their opinions. I.E, the National Union refers to Netanyahu as left, while Hadash calls Labor right.

Al is talking about the overall political spectrum, though.
