Poll Shows Opposition Ripping Itself to Pieces

The intellectually bankrupt center-left finally has owned up to its disintegration six weeks before the election. Even the ultra left-wing Haaretz lamented Monday, “Game Over. The center-left bloc is a fragmented mess, while the right-wing bloc has never looked so hale and hearty.”

It published a Dialog poll that apparently was a knock-out punch for the left but revealed no surprises for readers of Arutz Sheva, which has reported ever since the demise of the Olmert government that the Israeli public is moving away from the “center left” and towards the nationalist and religious camps.

If elections were held today, according to the latest poll, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will enjoy the support of 71 Knesset Members:

39 from the Likud and Yisrael Beyteinu combined party list;

11 from the Habayit Hayehudi (Jewish Home) and Ichud Leumi (National Union) merged list of MKs;

18 from the Shas and Yahdut Hatorah (United Torah Judaism) religious parties;

3 from the Am Shalem party headed by former Shas member Rabbi Chaim Amsalem.

The Dialog poll shows that the Otzma Leyisrael party headed by National Union MKs Aryeh Eldad and Dr. Michael Ben-Ari would not win enough votes to enter the Knesset, in direct contrast to the surprising results of a poll posted last week by Voice of Israel government radio that showed the party with the minimum three seats to enter the Knesset. The Voice of Israel poll was carried out by a different polling organization than the one normally used. Similarly, Kadima, which had the largest faction in the current Knesset, would be on the outside...

The center-left, left-wing and Arab parties would be left with a paltry 49 MKs, and only 37 without the Arab parties, many of whose MKs are openly pro-Hamas.

The poll gives Labor 17 seats....

They may be morally, and intellectually bankrupt, but they are not financially bankrupt, and they have plenty of representation in the press. The Left in Israel is like a wounded animal, all the more dangerous because the wound is mortal. Watch out.

The Left = Oslo Peace Process = 1,500 murdered Israelis + 5000+ maimed Israelis = Moral and Political bankruptcy = The Left...

They still don’t get it...

If it becomes 71 to 49, the "center-left" can no longer claim that title. It means that the population's position has shifted, and we should instead be talking about the "left, extreme-left, and Islamist" parties.

Let’s not forget Israelis uprooted from their homes in the name of said piece process. Let’s not forget Israelis terrorized in their homes and on the streets in the name of said piece process. Let’s not forget Israelis leaving to the diaspora and diaspora Jews deciding against aliya because of said piece process. Let’s also not forget the many incidents of assault, harassment and murder occurring all over the world, not against Israelis, but against any and all Jews who might happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the constant threats and intimidation on college campuses. All these numbers are unquantifiable. Thank you, Oslo. Thank you, lefties.

Long overdue, that.

"If elections were held today"

Where have I heard that phrase before, most recently used for four years, right up until election day.

How did that work out!

[Eleutheria5]

But then, the polls indicated a narrowing race. Here, it’s not even close. They are done, and personally, I will dance the happy dance on 23/1/13, possibly in the streets with my neighbors.

I wouldn’t be celebrating too much just yet.

The weakness of the self-proclaimed leftists might just mean that Netanyahu can afford to expel Moshe Feiglin and others in order to present a ‘spirit of compromise’ and ‘moderation’.

Israel, like the US, is gradually drifting leftward.

“After the missiles on Tel Aviv, even Tel Aviv has woken up.”

A missile landing in the next town is interesting news on evening TV.

A missile landing in your bedroom is reality.

What the left is doing to itself in Israel, the right is doing to itself in America.

Anyone wanna emigrate to Israel? Can Christians do that?
