    They cannot accept a "no".But we don't have to agree on everything. Trade relations between Israel and Portugal countries have never been better, and from the political/ diplomatic point of view they will have their high point with the visit of our President to Israel in next January, as part of the Holocaust memorial day.
    I would like to remember that tens of thousands of Israelis participated/voted in the last elections in Portugal, four years after Portugal approved a law granting citizenship. There are now tens of thousands of other Israelis who are in the process of obtaining citizenship and there are another three million potential beneficiaries- according to the data released by David Yadid Law Office & Notary, an Israeli law firm focusing on helping clients in the process of obtaining foreign citizenship, as well as in assisting Holocaust survivors.
    It was not a nice attitude.
    Very little of your post has anything to do with the topic of this thread.

    It just came to my mind that two right wing extremist leaders (Pompeo/Netanyahu) - charged with corruption and bribery - came here, abusing our hospitality, in order to prepare God knows what.

    I am curious about who will be able to form a government now assuming one can. Would new elections really result in a majority for one of the candidates this time around?

    Hard to say. Election fatigue could almost certainly come into play, it being a 3rd election in less than a year. Then we have the fact that Netanyahu got indicted, which will energise both his supporters and those who oppose him, I don't feel confident predicting which way it'll go, it depends on how effective of an election campaign Netanyahu will run. Gantz's supporters are somewhat disheartened by his failure to form a coalition (he didn't even come close), and the Joint List voters moreso because even now their party failed to join a coalition (a big reason their turnout increased this election was that their party leader announced that, under certain circumstances, he would join a coalition).

    Reuters stresses that these are “hastily arranged talks” because Netanyahu’s initial plan to fly to London and meet Mr Pompeo there (as part of the US delegation to the NATO summit) presented too many ‘logistical problems’.
    The news agency says the trip “could be aimed at giving Netanyahu a political boost at home”. (The long-time prime minister is facing corruption charges – which he denies – while Israeli politicas are in disarray following inconclusive elections in April, and the failure of any side to secure a ruling majority)

    I'm willing to bet that most Israelis don't even know who mike Pompeo is. He is not relevant to our election. Whether or not he is guilty of a crime isn't relevant.

    Innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around.


    In other news, if there will indeed be another election (99% guaranteed at this point), it will be held on the 2nd of March.

    Sigh. Trump is a well known figure, a president of the US. Leader of the free world and all that. Constantly on the news for every little thing he does. I don't even know what position in the American government Pompeo occupies, and as I already stated I'm willing to bet that most Israeli's don't know who Pompeo is. Being educated doesn't mean you know every foreign politician.


    The future will tell. Right now is relevant and indispensable for political credibility.
    How on earth is Pompeo's guilt or innocence relevant to an Israeli election? It would literally have no impact on it.
    Oh yes, Netanyahu is the victim of an attempted coup committed by 333 testimonies.
    Are you unaware of how the law works? You're innocent until proven guilty. Nothing has been proven yet, the process has only just begun.

    Allegedly corrupt, neither has been found guilty.
    Netanyahu's alleged corruption is relevant to the Israeli election, and thus also to this thread. Pompeo's isn't. The fact that both have allegations against them doesn't make Pompeo suddenly relevant, much like it doesn't make literally any other person in the world accused of corruption relevant solely based on the fact that they are accused of corruption. If Pompeo is found guilty tomorrow literally nothing will change in regards to the Israeli election, nor will it if he is found innocent.

    A tirade that makes you anti-semite.
    You clearly misunderstood his post. He's saying that that is your position, not his.

    As I said before, there are three alleged corrupts- Netanyahu, Trump and Pompeo- working together to rise Netanyahu's electoral prospects. The meeting in Lisbon was unanimously regarded by the international press as way to give Netanyahu a political boost at home. Check the press.
    Even worse, as the Guardian put it. Excerpt,
    Benjamin Netanyahu's toxic legacy will haunt Israel long after ...
    The ‘political thuggery’ of Israel’s right wing and a lack of a persuasive centre-left alternative have pushed the country to the brink... Netanyahu’s vicious brand of hard-right identity politics has become a familiar blister on the face of Israel’s democracy.
    Netanyahu’s unprecedented indictment on Thursday on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust has intensified pressure on him to quit. With typical grandiosity, he denounced it as an “attempted coup”. When set alongside his failure to win a clear mandate in both of this year’s elections, this new humiliation would surely persuade any normal politician to stand down.

    But Netanyahu is not normal. Despite his “divisive rhetoric, lavish lifestyle and entanglement in corruption scandals, he stands for something, which cannot always be said of his opponents, Assaf Sharon, a Tel Aviv university professor, wrote recently. The principal reason why Netanyahu had become Israel’s longest-serving prime minister was the lack of a persuasive centre-left alternative in the years following the 1995 assassination of Labor’s Yitzhak Rabin, he argued.

    “Israeli liberals are cowed by the right’s political thuggery, demoralised by decades of failure, and weakened by mediocre leadership. Afraid to articulate their values and terrified of challenging Netanyahu’s nationalism, many on the left have reverted to a meaningless centrism, assuming that the only way to defeat him is by offering a more civilised, non-corrupt version of his politics,” Sharon wrote.

    The international press simply repeated Reuters' speculation:

    The hastily arranged talks with the top diplomat of Israel’s closest ally could be aimed at giving Netanyahu a political boost at home.
    Which is more a symptom of intellectual laziness than anything else.

    In any case, if that was Netenyahu's plan, the US state department obviously didn't get the memo, considering they undermined him and made him look like a liar.

    Pompeo being found guilty, and I cannot stress this enough, would have absolutely no impact on the election. At all. A footnote in the local news at most. About the same level of impact as if I were to go to the store tomorrow and buy an apple.

    Even worse, as the Guardian put it. Excerpt,

    This just shows how disconnected the writer of the article is. The majority of Israeli's nowadays are right wing, the left is a dying breed, barely passing the voter threshold, labour might be completely gone after the coming election. Even the return of the prince that was promised, Azor Ahai himself Ehud Barak, from his self imposed exile to the USA where he definitely did not spend any time with Jeffrey Epstein couldn't get the left wing parties a single additional seat in the Knesset. Netanyahu's downfall won't lead to the left suddenly becoming popular again, the demographics are simply against it.

    Ha-ha. You have clearly misunderstood my answer.
    He claimed your position to stem from anti-semetism, and you answered by saying that he is being anti-semetic. Which part did I get wrong, exactly?

    In ancient history or now right and left can be deceiving trying to for complexity into a binary definition.

    How would describe the 'right' in Israel at the moment since it can't form a government it seems a bit dis unified even if it is as you say ascendant. By describe what polices are sort of core to it
    IN PATROCINIVM SVB Dromikaites

    'One day when I fly with my hands - up down the sky, like a bird'

    But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place; some swearing, some crying for surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left.

    In its early days Israel was, by and large, a socialist welfare state. Those political stances are by now virtually gone. It's still to a large degree a welfare state, moreso than most European countries I would say (especially when it comes to taxation), but that trend has been changing. Yes, Netanyahu failed to form a government, but keep in mind that Lieberman, the reason he couldn't form a government, is also right wing. Blue and white, the main opposition party, is a mix of several parties, one of which is right wing (former Likud members in fact). Only two parties in Israel still claim to be left wing (not counting the mess that is the Joint List), Meretz and Labour, and both are just slightly above the voter threshold. The ultra-orthodox parties, who would previously be the king makers and sit in coalitions both left-wing and right wing, have over the recent years refused to sit in left-wing coalitions and instead went with the right.
    The demographic trend in Israel has somewhat of an opposite effect to the one you might expect in the west, as it is the "white" European Jews (except Russians) that vote left wing, and the "Brown" middle-eastern Jews (and Russians) that vote right wing, by and large.
    Now, what differentiates left and right in Israel? It's a complex question. While all 2 parties on the left are also economically left (socialist), some of the parties on the right are too ("Kulanu" which merged into Likud for example). The right includes more economically Liberal parties, like Likud (at least on paper) and New Right (and Zehut if it runs again, otherwise it is currently not running due to a deal with Likud). The only real "centrist" party, Blue and white, has elements of both (The Yesh Atid faction is more Liberal, but the party has in number 5 a former labour union leader, who is a socialist). Lieberman's Israel Beitenu party is more of what you'd consider a.. nationalist party?
    Obviously neither side is truly unified, considering the sheer number of parties we have, but Netanyahu's right+religious coalition, with the exception of Liberman who suddenly decided that he's secular, has held firm for about a decade now, occasionally joined by the odd centrist of left-wing party.

    But that's how democracy works. The so-called "partisan press" (from the right-wing to the left-wing end of the spectrum) is a nuclear foundation of democracy. Let's look at the opposite- as an example, in the semi-authoritarian Hungary, Orban's media strategy- a tightly-controlled state media represents the first step to a fascistoid state.

    Back to the Israeli elections (a snide remark, I can't resist) - has Netanyahu called his election defeat anti-Semitic yet?

    To be fair, in spite of my criticisms (the two-states solution and the Israeli nationality Law), we need to recognize that the Israeli press is completely free. As an example,the comments below are from the former PM Ehud Barak, reported in the Ha’aretz. in 2016 - Channel 10 interview.Almost unimaginable, right?

    Israel has been infected by the seeds of fascism, says ex Haaretz...
    Life-sustaining Zionism and the seeds of fascism cannot live together," Barak told a Channel 10 interviewer. This government needs to be brought down before it brings all of us down"

    Why Israel's Generals Are Taking on Netanyahu - Foreign Policy


    Almost all of them believe the prime minister is destroying Israel’s democratic values and sacrificing the Zionist dream by avoiding a two-state solution.

    According to the Jerusalem Post, an immunity bill would save millions and a "truly remarkable" corrupt,
    Immunity bill would save country millions - Jerusalem Post


    Media reports state that the majority of Israelis are opposed to granting immunity from prosecution to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Yet, if there was a law that granted immunity to a sitting president and prime minister, much of the time and money wasted in elections over the past year would have been saved and Israel would have a government.

    Regardless of how anyone may feel about Netanyahu, his ability to perform and to think clearly under all the pressures that he has had to contend with in recent years is truly remarkable.
