"If Lapid and Kahlon will be willing to sit with the Arab list, then there will be no need for Shas or United Torah Judaism" If that statement isn't absurd enough then the Arab list sitting with them or any Zionist coalition is not being in touch with reality. Actually, that quoted sentence makes the entire article unrealistic. Steve Kerzer Hollywood, Fl.

she has been advised that her presence on the zu list is not helpful. yet, should zu be able to form a government, rather doubtful, livni will be pm in two years.

shas has said that it will not join herzog. the same is probably true of utj. it is very doubtful that kahlon would join herzog. kahlon is to the right of herzog and the zu on security and diplomacy. if he gets assurances from netanyahu on economic and social issues, he will join the likud coalition. all polls give likud, israel baytenu, bayit yahud and kulanu 47-48 mandates. meretz, zu and yesh atid would get about 42 mandates. the orthodox would get about 18 mandates. there is no doubt that the orthodox will join the coalition led by likud. that would give the center right coalition at least 64 mandates. there are rumours that president rivlin would want a unity government. such a coalition would not work.

Period of Maarach which bankrupted the country economical and spiritual. Where is maturity and responsability ? This coments comes on apathy and indifference account of the voters. So Shame!!!!

Israelis flock to the new savior. This time around it's Kahlon. Who TF is KAHLON?! Who cares what he's promising to achieve. Don't waste your ballots, support the only candidate worth the moniker "Prime Minister of Israel": Mr.Netanyahu.Grow up, be serious.Later you can return to listening to the newses Sara-scandals and pistachio ice cream-agate!

Israel needs a PM who is a security expert . Bibi's speech proves that he is the man. We have seen the result of an amateur finance minister .

There is no factual basis for the claim that the Left and pro-Palestinian political parties will win. If this does happen, it will not be because of the voters. The polls in Israel are notoriously unreliable, with a margain of error far in excess of the 4 percent stated in the article. Only the most devoted adherent to Leftist ideology will dispute the statement that the Israeli public is overwhelimgly conservative. But as in other 'Democracies' around the world, the media is overwhelmingly 'Leftist' (Progressive, Marxist, Socialist, all variants of the same basic ideology). In Israel, 'Leftist' has less to do with economic policy than with the ardent (in fact religiously fanatic) desire to abandon most of the Jewish Homeland and turn it over to people who follow an ancient ideology that came into existence because of its willingness to destroy Jewish communities and confiscate Jewish possessions and wealth. This ideology has both religious and political fronts, and both are devoted to eliminating everything other than its own views. That politicians in Israel can, with a straight face, claim that allowing such views to be expressed in the Knesset is a necessary function of 'Democracy' is beyone bizrre. It is a subject that should be examined by professional psychologists and psychiatrists. And make no mistake about the alleged 'Right' as represented by Netanyahu. Although he will take longer to arrive at the goals elaborated by Peres, Livni, Herzog, Oren, and Associates, he too is part of that class of willing collaborators with the very people who would happily eliminate all of us, and will do so if they're ever given the opportunity. While we see the legal system used as a bludgeon against people like Marzel and Lieberman, those of us with experience in forensic accounting and fraud investigation know that were there a serious investigation of the sources of income across the political spectrum, Dekel prison would be full of convicted felons. Bribery and black-market dealing are such an intricate part of the way of life here in the Shuk of the Middle East that it's almost certainly true that everyone is guilty of participating in it. This isn't because they want to, but the contradictory economic and political ideologies that dominate here demand this way of life... if one wishes to continue to live. The coming election should not be decided by spurious polls announced by questionable sources (including the 'Right' as well as the 'Left').

Herzog-Obama Leftist Lackey will not win. He cares more for Obama the Trojan Horse than for Israel. Israel is a land of geniuses. Israelis should not easily be fooled as those stupid Americans who were fooled into electing Obama the Islamist.

"Theres no factual basis for the claim that the left and pro palestinians parties will win. if this does happen, it will not be because the voters" Of course not. It is not because the voters. The media fraud and left wing had been campaigning with European money, and all the polls that said Herzog is leading are completely false. The left political parties have been orquesting excessive intrigues and verbal sabotages and that is like a psychological coup d'état to the Israeli public with the only purpose to reduce voters confidence in Netanyahu and right political parties. The Israel electorate can't allow the United States neither European governments to interfere in Israel politics and economics interests.
