Looks like Fagala has the sads......
I just heard a reporter describe a small party with 9 seats will help BiBi improve his coalition and those discussions are very good for him. It made it sound confirmed that he had won. (I sure hope I heard it right, though.)
They don’t have as many Democrats as we do.................
Thanks for your posting, praying this is how it ends up and sounds as if it will.
0bama and his lapdogs will have fits and probably are right now.
God bless PM Netanyahu and Israel.

Labor: Coalition Race Just Starting
Labor MKs say ‘great battle’ beginning in trying to recruit party heads to join a leftist coalition, as exit polls show ‘effective draw.

Zionist Union can form a coalition only if they include Kulanu and Yesh Atid (doable) and the Arabs (not doable).
So there are only two possible scenarios at this point: a Netanyahu-right wing-ultra Orthodox- Kulanu coalition (most likely), or a "national unity" coalition of Netanyahu-Zionist Union-Kulanu-Yesh Atid, leaving the hard right, hard left, Arabs and ultra-orthodox in the opposition.
“Zionist Union can form a coalition only if they include Kulanu and Yesh Atid (doable) and the Arabs (not doable).”
Why “not doable”?
I hope you’re right. I’d like to understand.
Arabs are anti-Zionist. They are communists/Islamists and so not a natural coalition partner for either Likud or Zionist Union.
No Israeli government has ever included the Arab parties in a coalition. As much as they hate Netanyahu, the Arab MKs would not join a coalition with any of the mainstream Jewish parties. Even if the Arab parties would agree to join Herzog, the centrist parties (Kulanu and Yesh Atid) would never agree to putting the Arab parties in the cabinet.
10-4.
Good deal.
“Why do the Israelis know the result the same day as the election and we have to wait days or weeks or months?”
Well, my entire country is about the size of New Jersey.
The actual exact number of seats for each party probably won’t be known for days. The celebration is based on Netanyahu almost certainly surviving as PM. If projections are accurate, the Right bloc in the Knesset may have exactly the same number of seats (63) in the next Knesset as it had in the last.
Meanwhile the Clinton server is on route to a Arkansas junkyard...guessing in a trunk of a old car.

True. They are circumcised.
Because the Communist Homosexual People’s Idiot Pedophile Loving Dimocrat Party is not counting the votes, that’s why.
theyve got way more dead voters than we do...going back thousands of years...
perhaps they were previously disposed..
