In the news today, Netanyahu has appointed MK Danny Danon as Ambassador to the UN, in a move that both gets the insurgent right-winger Danon out of Bibi's hair and sends a huge middle finger to the UN.

Danon is replaced in the Knesset by the next person on the Likud list, Sharren Haskel, a 31 year old Canadian immigrant who favors marijuana legalization but is otherwise a boilerplate Likudnik.

Haskel's ascension brings the number of female MKs to 30, or 25%, an all time high. If you were wondering, yes, she is conventionally attractive.

I like Danon harassing the hypocrites at the UN and not influencing Israeli policy, so this is good.

Hamas and Pals launched 12 rockets at Israel between Jul 23 and Aug 5.  10 landed in Gaza, 1 blew up on the launch pad.  TAKE THAT ZIONIST ENTITY!

I don't know why we need a new thread, and not use this one.

Being born in Canada is more of a technicality, her family came to Israel when she was one year old.

A more interesting appointment is that of fiamma nirenstein as an ambassador to Italy, the interesting part of course is the fact that she used to be an Italian MP! I've yet to hear of something like that.

In other news: the political climate is rather calm lately. Herzog still not crawling in and with Ashkenazi's case closed Lapid is trying to win him over as #2 whilst Labour politicos are trying to talk him into running versus Herzog

Sorry, didn't see it. If a moderator wants to move this discussion, that's cool.

Cmon, there is a stickied thread called General Discussion Threads.. Why not check that before you made a new one?

There's already a thread for Israeli politics:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=142845.0

Mods please merge

in regards to Syrian, an interesting incident happened last month when Druze at the Israeli side of the border ambushed a military ambulance carrying 2 Syrian opposition fighters and lynched them

Politics and general discussion are different....at least to me.  I really don't care much for internal politics of any place and that's all the those threads seem to be about.

The thread creator changed the title to include the word general to make its topic broader and it was listed as the Israel GD in the stickied GDT thread to make it clear it was the official GD + we discussed it earlier in this thread and Willlps admitted he made this one by a mistake.
