Let’s ignore the latest undemocratic politicized nudnicks who are refusing to serve in the territories and instead focus on the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and reservists who put their lives at risk on a daily basis to ensure the survival of the Jewish state. Because when it comes down to it, that’s what it’s [...]
Many people have been asking me what I think of the Geneva Accords. Well for one thing I don’t believe in freelance foreign policy. It’s dangerous and I don’t like the idea of maverick MKs, former MK’s and political has-beens trouncing around the world pushing policies that the majority of Israelis don’t support. Of course [...]
I have been on a blogging break a couple of days now. I was planning on continuing the hiatus until at least this weekend. Then I came across something so infuriating I had to post. The Knesset kids are urging Attorney General Rubenstein to drop the corruption case against Likud MK Naomi Blumenthal. Some of [...]
So the incoming freshman of the 16th Knesset had their orientation yesterday. Mitzna was a no show. Omri Sharon showed up late. I happened to catch the English news on Channel one yesterday evening and saw Gila Gamliel interviewed. She could barely put a sentence together in English. It was pathetic. A shocking fact about [...]
Israel Radio drives me nuts. It is a talk radio format with news on the hour and the half hour. Members of Knesset are interviewed all day. They all yell and scream at the top of their lungs. The worst is when there is more than one guest. They scream and can’t hear each other, [...]
Final results can be found here. Shocking how the people regained confidence in Likud.

Ignore my list. The threshold is going to be considerably lower because of the low turnout. The small parties are going to clear house. The exit polls are to be broadcast in less than a half hour. They already have the information, that much is clear. They are hinting that the big parties are going [...]
I voted. It was incredibly uneventful. My wife and I went together. We both weren’t sure whom we were going to vote for until we actually went into the voting booth. We discussed our votes afterwards and had a good laugh when we couldn’t remember whom we voted for and weren’t completely sure that we [...]
Here is what I think the next Knesset is going to look like. I welcome your comments. No real surprises. The coalition that may result from this might be more interesting than the elections itself. Likud – 33 As predicted in the polls the Likud party will once again regain their strength and become the [...]
