NETANYAHU’S NEW MATH - WHEN 56 IS WORTH MORE THAN 60
Jerusalem Post ^ | 07/18/2919 | Lahov Harkov

How is 56 greater than 60? Call it Netanyahu’s new math.

“After we established the right-wing bloc, there are only two options,” Netanyahu said. “Either a government led by me, or a dangerous government leaning on Arab parties.”

Netanyahu’s only chance to remain prime minister is by making sure that his potential coalition partners don’t start wandering over to Blue and White’s side. The way to make sure they don’t do that is to promise he will stay with them and not follow what seems like the more obvious path to a coalition, to reach across the aisle himself.

Netanyahu’s new math. A right-wing bloc of 56 is better for him than an ungovernable majority of 61.

If he can’t build a national unity government to his liking where he remains its head, he can opt to remain head of a strong minority government.

The PM is showing his opponents he still has more seats than them. They have only 44 and has 56.

56 still counts for more than 44 and its worth even more than an elusive 61.

New math, indeed.

Netanyahu needs to take all measures orthodox, unorthodox and ultra-orthodox to stay in power.

I have no idea how this works...I just pray he wins. The uncounted votes sure sounds like urban democrat stuffed ballots, though

There is not a single Jewish MP in any of the 22 existing Arabs states. Yet there are 12 Arab MP’s in the ONLY Jewish state on Earth. Insanity.

A minority government won't survive a no-confidence motion.

Soroznazi type operatives were working 24/7 to pull down his nation’s government and install a Quisling erev rav puppet regime (that will sell the nation out!)

What would deter his enemies from pushing for one are early new elections.

There’s no guarantee they could win them. And Lieberman won’t support a Kachol Lavan government dependent on the Arabs.

At the moment, 56 is a lot more than 44 or even 32. As long as Netanyahu and his partners stick together, they can keep power.

So then they do elections again, right? This time the right may vote more and the left less. People get tired of voting like this.

The good news is this slows down gov’t screwing up stuff...this is their version of gridlock and a split congress.

Correct. "Diversity" is a one way street. It always has been, and it always will be.

The goal isn't "Diversity", but elimination of others.

Netanyahu is scheduled to be charged with criminal offenses in the next few weeks. That could seriously change things.

Reaching across the isle into a rattlesnake den is not wise.
