the New Israeli Government
I find something comforting in the makeup of the government that Bibi Netanyahu has apparently managed to put together. Is it comforting to you too? Or not? Will dissident Labor party members bolt the party to stay out of Bibi's government? Will opportunist Kadima members bolt their party to join Bibi's government? Predictions please? What do YOU think is going to happen next?

I think all the parties will elect their own leader who will then sit on Bibi's!!!
B"H
That's what I think:

Although HaShem ultimately runs things, He lets us mess around & make a balagan if that's what we want. My opinion? Sad to say, Bibi is answering to someone(s) above him & will do what "they" want, while screaming all the time that he's making a "good" deal and putting us in what seems to me a worse position. Ultimately, it'll all be fine. But our actions are causing the in-between time to be worse & worse. We voted right. Why do we have to get left?
What do I thnk?
"Meet the new Gov, same as the old Gov."
Israelis voted for the "right-wing" parties (whatever that means), for two reasons a) they are sick of the leftist capitulationist policies of Kadima and Labour, and b) they recogise that Israel needs a strong right-wing to stand up to pressure that is about to come (is coming already) from Obama.
Instead they got Bibi who has a track record of talking tough but acting like a wimp. No one should forget how he only stood against the Disengagement once it was too late to stop it.
And now he's already given in, accepting a continuation of the Road Map with it's PLO state and drawing Labour into his government too.
Has Obama already knobbled him? That's the real question.

Did you know that Tzipi is nowhere near the middle in this contest she lost?
Bones poses an excellent question. But has ANY politician, anywhere, ever been honest and true to himself and to his more importantly, been true with his constituancy?
Kadimacrats, kakistocrats, will abandon their coreless, souless empty shell of a Seinfeld party about nothing, for a seat at the Likud campfire where warmth and power live. The others of the party sans platform (excepting for having a very strong drive to relinquish territory to hoistile neighbors in a "lets reward bad behavior" binge politique, will just sulk and kvetch in their self imposed corner, cocmplaining that they did not have the chance to finish off Israel before the political clock ran out. As my mentor and personal good friend Daffy Duck; my model in all things political would say: They're DITHHHH..picable!
A warning from an American. Please, Israel, do NOT put too much trust in our President nor his Secretary of State. For some reason I do not believe they have Israel's interests at heart.
As long as they resist whatever Obama and Clinton try to force them in to they will be ok.
Oh for God fearing men to have the rule over us. But God Himself is always in control - no matter what.
Predictions:
Stagnation
Conflict
Lack of progress on any front
What do YOU think is going to happen next:
Happening next, I think I'll be hoping my predictions prove completely wrong.
Sorry, I'm not completely qualified to comment on Israli politics, but I have always liked Bebe and the positions he has taken in the past, I do hope he will follow thru on his past comments. This would, I believe, lead to a stronger state. Kadima and Labor seemed to me to be somewhat the parties of appeasement--thats the way I saw them from a distance. To me there is difference between the left and right in Israel, time will however, tell if I am correct.
