A badly weakened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scrambled Wednesday to keep his job by extending his hand to a new centrist party that advocates a more earnest push on peacemaking with the Palestinians after Israel's parliamentary election produced a stunning deadlock.
The results defied forecasts that Israel's next government would veer sharply to the right at a time when the country faces mounting international isolation, growing economic problems and regional turbulence. While that opens the door to unexpected movement on peace efforts, a coalition joining parties with dramatically divergent views on peacemaking, the economy and the military draft could just as easily be headed for gridlock — and perhaps a short life.
Israeli media said that with nearly all votes counted, each bloc had 60 of parliament's 120 seats. Commentators said Netanyahu, who called early elections three months ago expecting easy victory, would be tapped to form the next government because the rival camp drew 12 of its 60 seats from Arab parties that traditionally are excluded from coalition building.
A surprising, strong showing by a political newcomer, the centrist Yesh Atid, or There is a Future, party, in Tuesday's vote turned pre-election forecasts on their heads and dealt a setback to Netanyahu. Yesh Atid's leader, Yair Lapid, has said he would join a government only if it were committed to sweeping economic changes and a serious push to resume peace talks with the Palestinians, which have languished throughout Netanyahu's four-year tenure.
The results were not official, and the final bloc breakdowns could shift before the central elections committee finishes its tally early Thursday. With the blocs so evenly divided, there remains a remote possibility that Netanyahu would not form the next government, even though both he and Lapid have called for the creation of a broad coalition.
The stock markets are up.
The state-run media publishes dictation from the leftist tyrants and the lie that all is well.
The state-run education system teaches smiley-face socialism, not the true face behind the facade that is Stalin and Hitler and Castro and Mao.
The world has grown lazy and complacent and so it is willing to trust the statists.
We are going to have to go through hell again (think WWI and WWII) to right the ship.
Our damn White House is aiding and abetting the Palestinians. Damn Obama.
Consider the source. Let your heart not be troubled.
The Israel utopians just like the American utopians will vote their country into the ashes of history within then next 2 decades. A world with no Israel and a balkanized america will make a lot of lefties, media types, democrats, hollywood trash and MTV crowd happy until they have to live it.

At this point in time i am torn between “taking action” and “letting the goose stew in it’s own sauce”.
I fear we have all waited too long to take our country back and the only thing we can do is give the other side EXACTLY what it wants and let them suffer and live to see them suffer as much as they can under their own system before we pass on.
It’s spelled NWO. I was thinking to myself that if Israel moved Left than we are close. Well it did and we are. Israel will be placed at the head of the NWO for a time before the Antichrist turns against it. We are seeing the early stages of Revelation unfolding before our eyes.

NBC needs to wake up and realize that they are out of touch with reality. Then they need to smell the coffee.
Centrist? More earnest push on peacemaking? Keep moving towards the larger tunnel. After you crawl around in them for a while, you will see a ring of muscles called sphincters. Relax them, and your head will crown, but it’ll hurt.
