Arabs voting in droves? In the racist state of Israel? How can this be?

I bet more Arabs and Palis can vote in Israel than anywhere else in actual free elections.

Ironic

Fox News is my source sez it's too close to call... http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/03/17/israeli-polls-open-with-netanyahu-power-hanging-in-balance/ (might as well be lemon party since it gets old men off)

Bibi is playing politiks

doogsinparadise

Bibi can declare victory as many times as he wants, but it doesn't change the fact that he's basically running tied after campaigning strongly on his Palestinian platform. He either goes strongly to the right and loses any chance of winning in the next round of elections, or labor gets first shot at forming a government.

I can't decide if it's impressive that you guys are so knowledgeable about politics in a country halfway across the world, or if it's fucktarded, or..... If you guys are all just full of shit.

I have my guesses. Either way, it will be interesting.

doogsinparadise

I take that back, looks like unity gov with Bibi as PM, or "Labor" coalition.

RaceBannon

It's always a coalition. That's the system, man. Israel is more liberal domestically but more conservative when it comes to survival. Obama mis read that as usual.

doogsinparadise

Yeah, I get that. What does Obama have to do with it? All I've heard all week is that it's the economy, stupid.
