They will also be able to put up no-confidence motions and private bills that will embarrass the coalition when they deserve it. Also the prestige of being in the Knesset will enable their members to do things like that wonderful number that Ben-Ari pulled at the Gordon swimming pool in TA with the Africans. The yuppies of TA were forced to show their true colors. We need more of same in the next Knesset. The Bayit Hayehudi will and should take votes away from the Licouldn't, but they should be reminded that someone still remembers that they dumped Ben-Ari and Eldad. I'll just be so glad when this election is over. Wait a minute, then the coalition negotiations begin and that's even uglier and there'll be nothing you and I will be able to do about it. I'm going to start the Movement to Abolish the Knesset.

I...I agree that Bennett doesn't need the Volvo. I think he is temporizing to get into the cabinet and use his weight inside to push Bibi to the right. He will have the support of the good folks in the Likud to do it. The LIKUD voters have to vote for Bennett. WE have to vote for Otzma L'Yisrael. This will make the Likud small and dependent on the right. The Left will not be able to sit with Bibi and Tzippi and Feiglin no matter what. Barak burned himself by sitting in Bibi's government. The leftists consider Bibi anathema. The only way Tzipi Livni could cleanse herself of the stigma of being a hereditary revisionist was to follow the leftist party line. Bibi might be able to get Lapid in with him, but neither Labor nor Meretz nor Livni. My haredi friends -- you are compelled to vote for Aguda or Shas, according to ethnicity. At least try to keep your rabbis honest and not led blindly by their handlers. And don't believe everything you read on the walls. Everybody else -- vote as hard right as you can.<br />goyisherebbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380171052449799815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-17590117754976598252012-12-23T21:28:00.146+02:002012-12-23T21:28:00.146+02:00Bennet's a talented and wealthy guy.

The guy was the head of Yesha and on e of the most successful ceo's in the Israeli hitech community all before the age of 40. Status is not who he is seeking. I like Otzmah, but I am tired of not getting things done here. I blieve Bennett and company will rock it in a few weeks and become a force to be reckoned with. The fact is the establishment is scared of him the same way they were and are scared of Feiglin. The fact that they have to jump on him like this is a sin he can be trusted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822162683765760896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-46600409791672972652012-12-23T21:04:25.430+02:002012-12-23T21:04:25.430+02:00Jessie, a vote for Otzmah is a vote in the garbage...Jessie, a vote for Otzmah is a vote in the garbage can of "principles".

The PM holds his party and especially cabinet/coalition on a tight leash. Bennet is already wearing the collar.<br /><br />It is extrmely important for there to be a Right opposition, and it's terrible that Likud and NRP supporters are telling people that Otzmah won't get in.

But at the same time, he won't be able to evict anyone from his house.<br /><br />Batya, I've really been disappointed with this post...<br />Even if politicaly and ideologically you don't agree with Bennett, why trying to smear him like this ?<br />You did exactly the same thing the likud : grab the first little thing to pull Bennett down.<br />Second, your argument don't hold if Beit Yehudi has enough seats. Bibi can't force another party which can destroy his coalition. Like Shas this last decade, Beit Yehudi can have a lot of influence..<br /><br />The Right really need to learn not to hurt itself like this - it only help Sheli and Lapid.

Bayit Yehudi can influence only if the coalition depends on them, while Otzmah can influence even from the opposition. both are important. <br /><br />still, I think that Bennett's reaction to the current smear campaign should not be "no, no, I didn't mean it, soldiers should always follow orders no matter what". he should be saying, "I am not recommending for soldiers to disobey orders, I am saying that in the Knesset I will make sure that immoral orders are not given to begin with!"Leah, Maaleh Adumimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-5694763262857862972012-12-23T11:12:30.938+02:002012-12-23T11:12:30.938+02:00Remember Nafali Bennett does not need a volvo or m...Remember Nafali Bennett does not need a volvo or money so please do not accuse him of joining a coalition for those things.
