I normally don't post here because I don't want it to lead to flame wars as I am of Palestinian and have a Pro-Palestine origin, but Famous Mortimer needs to stop generalizing us. A large % of us would rather just have the conflict end peacefully, when conflict results (example the current Land Day protests), it infuriates people on both sides (I am not immune from this either as I had a bad outburst recently), and I think my people are not doing a great job pushing for peace either.

But the ad hominem and inane comments being thrown around here aren't productive for conversation either.

Do you guys think FPTP would help improve things in the long run because while it would likely give Likud a majority in the next election, it would make the party in power much more accountable to failures, which then would make it easier to throw the party in power out of office

IMO FPTP would make any government unworkable, it might curb the power of the ultra-religious fanatics, Likud is extremely popular at the moment and the Left is all but dead
