>> Not to me. Likud is the reality we must deal with, but my main interest is New Right being in the Knesset, however minimally. <<

Are there any CLEAR ideological differences between Likud and The New Right? IMO it sounds more like a clash of different historic backgrounds like the two right-of-center parties in Ireland refusing to work together even though they agree on 95% of the issues. The New Right split from The Jewish Home because Jewish Home is only for Orthodox Jews but The New Right wanted to welcome secular voters into their party. Y'know... like Likud does!

I'd also compare it to the Conservative Party/UKIP split in the UK, except its reversed in Israel, with Netenyahu's government sounding more and more like a single issue "Islamofacism is bad" party. It's gotten old.

As for whether I'd endorse The New Right, it really depends on what the circumstances were in that particular district. If the Likud candidate is some RINO-like joke that has no chance of winning anyway, sure, I'd vote The New Right instead. But if the Likud candidate is a solid conservative and The New Right candidate is only polling 3% and is likely to play spoiler and pull enough conservative votes away from the Likud candidate to result in a marxist godless leftist winning the seat, forget it!

Interesting random trivia:

It appears the lone black member of the Knesset is Avraham Neguise of the Likud Party. He is an Ethopian Jew who immigrated to Israel in the 1980s:

I wonder what the "conservatives hate minorities" crowd has to say about that.

I trust Naftali Bennett to not stand for any new outposts being abruptly destroyed. Bibi did a bunch of them to curry favor with BHO, only he had Ehud Barak do the dirty work. Bibi also has inflicted considerable pain on Hebron, giving the PA 97% of it and forcing the Jewish residents to endure a year and a half of constant sniper fire aimed at their homes, them as they walked the streets, and vehicles. Worst was the murder of Hadassah Tehiya, a six-month old babe in her pram. Her father was wounded by the bullet after it passed through her tiny body. Then there was the pitched battle to retake the high ground in Hebron to finally retake the high ground and stop the shooting. 24 soldiers KIA, including a great colonel. This was all because of Bibi’s attempts to give up land for piece. He makes great speeches, but I don’t trust him. I wanted Bennett to act as a hamper to his more stupid moves.
