I think we are seeing the demise of Kadima. If Kadima folds half of its seats will go to Likud and the other half to Labour. This is good news for Likud. What happened to Yisrael Beiteinu?
Also the new Social Action party got only 4 seats from Jewish would be voters.

The United States Congress has blocked nearly $200m in aid to the Palestinians, the U.K’s Independent newspaper reported on Saturday.

Piling On: The New York Times and Israel
By Jerold S. Auerbach, AMERICAN THINKER
In last week’s run-up to the U.N. General Assembly theatre of the absurd, The New York Times could hardly restrain itself. Fulminating about what was best for Israel, it repeatedly berated the Jewish state and Prime Minister Netanyahu for not acceding to its editor’s wishes.
The Coming Universal Caliphate
Jerry Gordon who used to blog with me on Israpundit and now blogs at the Iconoclast has just written an excellent review of Bat Yeor’s new book
European Backlash against Multilateralism and Multiculturalism
In late November, 2009 the Swiss SVP (Swiss People’s Party) launched a successful referendum banning construction of minarets by mosques that was passed by a margin of 57 percent of eligible voters. Oskar Freysinger, head of the conservative SVP, noted in a London Times report, “In no case does this impinge on religious freedom. This has nothing to do with the practice of religion.” Ulrich Schuler said in response to Swiss Government fears that the ban would breach the law on freedom of religion said, “This...
Jewish Israel is the key to its survival, not its end
By Ted Belman (originally published 3 years ago)
Jerry Gordon writes Burg goes ballistic: paints Israel as “Zionist ghetto” because he said “to define the State of Israel as a Jewish state is the key to its end”. Others say the opposite, namely, that being Jewish is the key to its survival.
This is no small matter.
But the Jewish...
Liberal Jews love Muslims, hate Christians
Construction is Israel’s best negotiating tactic.
By Ted Belman
German chancellor tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in phone call that decision to approve new housing units in east Jerusalem has ‘raised doubts that Israeli government is interested in starting serious negotiations’
Inherent in this statement is the belief that Israel must give the Palestinians, backed by the EU, what they want. But such belief denies the right to negotiate. Israel has the right to say ‘no”. There is no obligation to make a deal. There is no obligation in the Oslo Accords to cease building anywhere.
And as I keep repeating, Israel must build aggressively. This is the only way to force the PA to negotiate as time will work against them. The PA must pay the price of inflexibility.
Hamas Actor Abuses Animals to Teach Children Not to Abuse Animals
Even though the video concludes with a child criticizing Nahool for his behavior, the animal abuse is genuine and not simulated. Note how Nahool exemplifies the three chief characteristics of Palestinian Arab culture: cowardice (attacking caged animals that cannot fight back), cruelty, and treacherous perfidy (petting the cat to gain its trust and then grabbing its tail).

Obama legitimates assassination.
By Ted Belman
The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki Friday is result of military operation by U.S. forces. And he was an American citizen. In fact with the greater availability of drones these assassination have increased four fold. What is interesting is that liberals, Obama included, didn’t like administrative detention and instead turned to assassination to avoid detention. Ironic, no?
Remember that Israel’s policy of assassination always drew pious condemnation from the world. Still does. And Israel is still not permitted to assassinate Hamas leaders.
Also the liberal High Court in Israel has gone so far as to hold soldiers accountable for killing terrorists rather than arresting them.
What an upside down world.
