The State of Israel will be going to vote on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. This will be the fifth election in less than four years. The near parity is between the competing political blocs: the Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-of-center on one hand, and the anti-Netanyahu left-of-center bloc led by Yair Lapid.

Netanyahu has only to find a single defector to form a narrow coalition government of...

Zehava Galon This is what happens when a supposed "learned" radical lefty is caught in lack of basic English. She tries to rail against Ben Gvir who spoke out against those Arabs who support terror crimes. But she stumbles in speaking in her English propaganda. In another ridiculous "charge," she blamed him for the... 1995 Y. Rabin Killing, no less. Galon is famous for seeking excuses for racist Arab butchers Islamists. The bigot went even so far as misusing the Holocaust in her extreme politics. That, asides her, her party, embracing Arabs but rejecting Mizrachi - Sfardim. Dishonest Zehava Galon...

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has not ruled out sitting with MKs Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud), Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism), and Itamar Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit), but opposes the formation for a "fully" right-wing government. In an interview with Channel 13 News, Bennett said, "A fully right-wing government, in the current sense, is, in my eyes, a disaster, because it does not have the balances." He added, "Netanyahu, Bezalel, and Ben Gvir...in a different constellation, can be fine, but a government trapped in the hands of the extreme is horrible and awful, even if it is the other side." .....
