It's almost over

2 more days. That's all we have left till the most useless and most boring elections in Israel will start and more importantly be over.

I have never seen an Election (I have been aware and or/active in 6 elections now including this one, This will the 4th time I am voting - I am only 25) that so many people had no IDEA 2 so soon before the elections who they are going to vote for.
Those who made us their minds have all told me they choose the "least of all evils" and not the one they wanted. WE have 3 people trying to run for PM Each worse than the other.
I came to the conclusion a while ago that if all 3 were one person and we took the best traits from each we might be able to come up with some one decent. Instead we have 3, who will be fighting in a few days from now on how my country is going to look.

But, I am going to vote anyways. WHY? Because I can. Because if I don't vote I can't complain later about the situation in this great country of mine. Because in this system every vote really does count.

for a few predictions:
The winner in these elections will still be Kadima - but they will fall to somewhere in the 33-30 range.
Likud - will pick up some of those and will manage to make it to 14-16 seats
Labor - about 20 give or take
Meretz - about 4-5 (the Zionest left in Israel is down to 25 seats, what does that tell you) Just a reminder in the 92 elections (Rabin won and became PM) the Zionist left got 60 seats (and the people who brought you Oslo)
Ichud Leumi/Mafdal - most likely 10 seats
Shas will get about 10
Yahadut Hatorah - 4-5
The Big surprise of these Elections will be Yisrael Baitenu - that might actually pass Likud and will get about 15 seats as well.
That leave 10 seats (give or take) - 8 go to the Arabs and the last 2 I leave open since I have a feeling that one of the small parties might make it in - Either the greens, Aleh Yarok, or maybe Shinu 1 or 2.

Happy Election Day To all

P.s. - I invite you all to make your predictions -mine are based on the polls and my hunches - feel free to use any method you want - they are all Valid.

Solit,
Ya that seems to be the fact.
but the more interesting point is that those that are still trying to sell us this "peace" precess are the ones that are getting hit in the polls.
It's not that Israel doesn't want peace, All parties agree we sould, the question is as what price. Shimon Peres in the 90s talked about the "Victims of Peace" everytime a but blew up.

Well I am off to vote, We will see the results in 12 hours.

Yes, and a new phenomenon has started. Yesterday, the fired the first ketyusha rocket from Gaza into Israel. These rockets are much more deadly and dangerous than the Kassam and other make-shift rockets these slime can come up with. This is a whole new risk, and we're in for a whole new fight.

The Gaza Katyushas are a big deal for a couple of reasons. #1) Unlike with the north, the ones being fired from Gaza have to go a much less distance to do a lot more damage. The terrorists also fires rockets a lot more often than Hezbollah fires theirs. There are literally dozens of rockets fired from Gaza every day. If Katyushas start becoming the norm, it can be a very grave threat to the people of Israel. That is why the Army is responding so harshly and swiftly to the Katyusha attack. #2) The politcal left of Israel said, when Oslo was signed, that there would never be a Katyusha rocket fired from Gaza. Mainly, they said that the Palestinians would never have a "reason" to shoot them. This is a serious deal.
