Here's the official results page:

It's in Hebrew, but I think everyone can figure it out. (Note: using Google translate ***** up the numbers)

I had that up on my browser earlier, spent hours trying to find it. Thanks.

The lesson seems to be the same as we got here in the USA in the 11/2014 Elections.

If you are tied to Barak Obama---you lose.

But, I need to be sure and keep this on the very narrow topic deemed appropriate by the moderators which seems to be that Netanyahu is still not the P.M again...not yet--he still has to put together a majority coalition..and I certainly agree...plus it gives Obama & his gang of Chicago mobsters the chance to use their influence, maybe spread around some USA Taxpayer money...it is the Chicago Way...and buy their man into power.

But, it won't work.

Israel will abuse the Chicago political interlopers, and treat them with the same contempt, that Russia and Iran do.

A lot of people seem to be making this election out to be about Obama. That's pretty hilarious. Do Israeli voters go to the polls thinking hmmm....this candidate is too close to Obama, I'm not voting for him?

Using Chrome auto-translate seems to work just fine, but that's just me.

Lot of moderators seem to have their jimmies rustled over how it came out.

As an aside, the Yachad did not pass the threshold.

But they would go to the polls to think, how much is Obama going to risk the security of Israel in some agreement with Iran or lack of conviction against terrorists and radicals, and how can we compensate for it.

Using Chrome auto-translate seems to work just fine, but that's just me.

For some reason, the translator in Chrome for me made the actual vote totals get messed up. If it works for you, cool.

Looks like to me the Arab List is hurting the ZU.
