At least the right-wing won't feel uncomfortable taking off the mask when it comes to racism and apartheid.

Extremely blackpilling.

I wonder if the incessant terrorist attacks and total failure of the left's economic policies could have anything to do with this.

Well I guess that settles that. Settlements, kahanism, yearly wars, and apartheid are clearly the solutions! As long as America ignores it, I suppose it's technically okay.

[Comrade Funk]

So my prediction*:
Likud 32
YA 28
RZ-NSDAP 16
Statist Party - 12
Shas -8
UTJ - 6
Meretz - 5
YB - 5
Labour - 4
Ra'am - 4

Bibi Bloc - 62

Hadash+Balad+JH under the threshold

*This includes Bader-Ofer and surpluses that both favor the right dramatically. Likud will move from 30 to 32 in the final results. YA might also gain a seat or two. one of Meretz\Labour will gain from the surpluses.

We'll see if the American Jewish groups have any backbone if this comes to fruition. There can be no excuses if that's what we get.

Given the numerous political permutations possible in a multi-party Knesset, I don’t feel able to predict what the outcome of the Israeli post-election negotiations will be.

But I will make one prediction: no matter who forms the government, there will no change in the Israeli position in the conflict with the Palestinians. It is now the settled view of Jewish Israelis across the political spectrum that there should be no further concessions to the Palestinians until they are willing to admit defeat and enter into direct negotiations with Israel.

One other thing is worth noting. At the 2021 election, 379,647 Israelis voted for the various Arab parties. This is 379,647 more than have ever been able to vote in a free election in the self-styled "State of Palestine." (Not all Arab Israeli voters vote for the Arab parties, so Arab voter turnout was higher than this figure suggests.)

Of the Knesset's 120 members, 17 are currently Arab Israelis. They hold the balance of power in the current Knesset and could well do so in the next one as well. They thus hold more democratic power than any member of any legislature in the entire Arab world.

Yes, the Arabs inside Israel's 1967 borders have minimal, basic political rights. Brag to me when b they extend the franchise to non Jews inside the west bank.

You'd think people would be sick of voting by this point

[Comrade Funk]

The only victor is the BDS movement. Good job.

This is what happens when a country isn't held accountable for upholding apartheid. South Africa was eventually and they had to change.
