Israel general discussion

[politicus]

Important to note any poll right now is invalid. Can't poll Kahlon without knowing the shape of his party yet and no poll yet used the new threshold. I predict some mergers and quakes that will change the map a lot.

Why did they choose such an odd number as 3,25%?

Still not seeing the point of getting a new thread, when this one is still so short. So reposting dead0mans post here:

Israeli tanker fuels Jordanian F16s on way to exercise in Nevada.

UN report says Gaza could become "uninhabitable" in five years.

Yeah, but their tunnels are even better this time.  Meanwhile, 37,000 tons of concrete sits in a warehouse, about to expire.  Like 95% of Gaza's problems, Hamas is the root, but like 95% of Gaza's problems, useful idiots in the west will blame Israel.

No matter who is to blame a total collapse of Gaza will have serious consequences. People will have to go somewhere - either Egypt, Israel or - if blocked by their neighbours - they will try to reach Europe. So this is another refugee time bomb waiting to happen.

They'll be swarming the Israeli fence, a true leadership would have understood the necessity in Gaza's redevelopment and allowed for a port to be formed. And lets not forget Sisi's proposal to give away some Egyptian swathes of territory to tackle this problem but current Israeli leadership is busy fighting Obama at congress

It is rare for a leader to offer to cede territory voluntarily. How much was he willing to give away?
