The timing is pure coincidence. You know, IT CAN happen. The Israeli elections were set to happen this month, but the deal and the timline on it was known for months. So we cannot expect leaders to stay home because timing is suspicious. This is pure bullcrap, really.
I really don't think it's coincidence...not from him and not from our Republicans.
I'm the last one to vote Likud, but even with that, I'm disgusted by what's happening in this elections. I was hoping I could relate to "The Zionist Camp" and maybe vote for them because they offer something different, but I look at what they do, how they behave and what they say, and I'm like "Meh".
Hetzog was a guessed one day on the late news, the broadcaster asks serious questions, about him losing voted and poll being against him, and all he says is "Bibi did that wrong, anything but Bibi" and I could point out at least 10 times during that half hour in which he said he's the next PM. Now seriously, he told of everything Bibi did wrong, and he was right on things, but not once he said what is HE going to do about it, all he said is that "anything's better than Bibi." Now seriously? that's how you're planning to win the elections? But NOT being your rival? How about issues that MATTER?
That is what our candidates sound like! They spend the entire time tearing down each other but they never offer a single new thing. Never anything positive and constructive... I get very cynical.
How about creating new workplaces in outline towns? how about saving the dead-sea worksites? Solving the housing problem? creating better transportaion? actually changing the fuel-taxing method?
I could point a whole lot of other problems we face, too many to mention, but didn't hear him offer a logical, reliable solution to 99% of the issues we face today.
Your system is so different from ours - how many candidates/parties do you have that might be elected Prime Minister? Does Bibi only have one serious opponent?
