They have been moving steadily, and sometimes with great leaps, to the Left. Pay attention to what the NRP and many of the other in Jewish Home have been doing and saying. Do we want more knuckling under to the Likud? If everyone in Jewish Home was like Uri Ariel, I'd probably vote for them, but he alone can't save the party. Otzma L'Yisrael isn't perfect, but it's the best we have.Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-56570787383162302382013-01-20T21:34:43.370+02:002013-01-20T21:34:43.370+02:00Hadassa, I had a 95 average in HS algebra.
Assumi...Hadassa, I had a 95 average in HS algebra.<br /><br />Assuming the Likud leads the government.<br /><br />Netanyahu will form a coalition. If a leftist coalition, Bayit Yehudi will be on left on the sidelines. In a left coalition, who is left in place to have any potential to influence the Likud? The answer is the Likud.<br /><br />If Netanyahu forms a right/religious coalition, mark my words - and Batya's - that you will see Bennet turn into Hershkowitz II, who was of zero positive influence on the Likud. Here, too, the best place to attempt to influence the Likud is from within the Likud.<br /><br />Batya, for years I have been reviewing my own firm's annual accounting before it's submitted to a CPA. The adjustment our accountants make to our records after I'm through with them are minor.<br /><br />I have shown the math and the simple logic over and over. Nothing has changed in my algorithms.<br /><br />Your algorithm is math doesn't work in Eretz Yisrael. You haven't explained why my math is faulty. You're only fooling yourself.<br /><br />But go ahead. Vote with your good heart - but you'll lose.

He desperately wants to be forced not to do things he feels he is currently being forced to do. Both the Bayit Yehudi will have a part in forcing Bibi to stop taking down communities and take care of other Jewish interests in Israel. The new Knesset will have a multi-party collection of maybe 40 (!) religious and more traditional MKs, an all-time high. The coalition and the right-wing opposition will all have their jobs to do. There will be a lot of free votes that will not require coalition discipline in which Otzma will vote with all those other members of the 40+. The more traditional MKs without kippot will support the right/religious on many issues because they need to work with them. But Bennett and his team and Feiglin and Hotoveli and others in the Likud will have to deliver. The people of Israel will be watching them. Don't forget that next election the percentage of "our" voters will be demographically even higher as the decline and fall of America goes on and its ability to pressure Israel gets less and less.goyisherebbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380171052449799815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-8649861268723017062013-01-20T05:38:45.610+02:002013-01-20T05:38:45.610+02:00Hadassa, yes, and even good poeple can do little m...Hadassa, yes, and even good poeple can do little more than talk, since there's a bad boss holding the strings.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-72762872556663989762013-01-19T23:07:30.651+02:002013-01-19T23:07:30.651+02:00Shalom!

When you insist on being ideologically pure, you end up with nothing!<br /><br />It will take years to reverse the Oslo damage and apart from Netanyahu the Likud has many fine candidates opposed to an Arab state who will be elected as well as from Bayit Yehudi. The key is to elect as many people who love the Land Of Israel to the Knesset where they will have some influence on the government's direction.<br /><br />Batya and her fellow voters can vote for a fringe party but they are deluding themselves that it will have any effect on public discourse in Israel. In the opposition, you can make all kinds of nice speeches but they have no effect on what the government does.<br /><br />We all want a strong Land Of Israel bloc in the Knesset. The more people favorable to such views that win in the Likud, the more the party will move in the direction we all want. Moshe Feiglin is correct: a sectoral party will accomplish nothing and end up wasting votes.<br /><br />The last time the Right was divided, it lost and Israel received the devil's bargain of Oslo! Let's not repeat that fiasco again.NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-46667330770540797962013-01-18T16:00:57.613+02:002013-01-18T16:00:57.613+02:00Hadassa said...

Similarly, you will hold no sway over Netanyahu by voting for Bayit Yehudi - just the opposite - as Batya is writing here and I have been warning so many friends about Bennet=Hershkowitz for such a long time.<br /><br />If you wish to attempt to tame Netanyahu, you will need to hold your nose or vomit and vote for the Likud, as disgusting as that may seem to be.<br /><br />Do the math.Shy Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104227389210314550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-34213525030366050872013-01-18T15:26:47.578+02:002013-01-18T15:26:47.578+02:00To Shelly, I say vote with your heart and let Hash...To Shelly, I say vote with your heart and let Hashem do the rest.

Then it's a wasted vote, and even if they get in with 2 or 3 seats, can they actually accomplish anything with so few representatives? Or are the votes still lost?
