Thinking of just going out and buying @redbaronpizza and just giving it to first person I see, since it's not kosher.
Similar to what the Orthodox Jewish community did back when the left called for a boycott of @ChickfilA .

This would have never happened 5 years. The culture has shifted in our favor, we are winning.

This election is not left/right. It's right/anti-Bibi, also made up of right-wingers.
Once Bibi is out, Israel will shift to its natural right-wing position it technically is in now. Possibly the most right-wing country in the world!
Insane that the person singularly responsible for destroying socialism in Israel, is stopping it from being literally snuffed out once and for all.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS — ISRAEL ELECTION UPDATE
LEFT-WING CHANNEL 12 — UPDATED EXIT POLL PROJECTIONS:
🔵 Netanyahu Bloc: 52 seats
🔴 Eisenkot Bloc: 49 seats
🟢 Arab Parties: 19 seats
61 SEATS REQUIRED FOR A MAJORITY
Even according to left-wing Channel 12's exit poll, Netanyahu's bloc leads the Eisenkot bloc by 3 seats.
Neither bloc has secured a parliamentary majority.
These are exit poll projections, NOT final results. The political picture could change significantly as actual votes are counted.
I've been saying this all night, at this point they're going to new elections.
Bibi would have to be insane to do anything else besides caretaker at this point.
Yeah, he'll go through motions of setting up some sort of unity/minority govt - but they are going to new elections.
Eisenkot’s dilemma:
1. His failed “change coalition” will be crushed at a second election if they use the Jihadi-supporting Joint List to “stick it to the right” and temporarily get their Bibi scalp.
2. If he doesn’t, but also doesn’t partake in some form of unity coalition, Netanyahu, from the comfort of the Prime Minister’s chair, will run out the clock and call new elections in May, in which he will do better, since he lost 5% of the right-wing votes to Winter’s and Hendel’s failed start-up parties. Also, events in the region—war with Iran, and perhaps peace with the Saudis—will likely play to Netanyahu’s favour.
3. So the smart play for him is to offer Netanyahu his party in a unity coalition, but he comes with a very weak hand, since he won’t be able to bring the leftists under Golan with him, or Liberman’s party (whose entire career is focused on unseating Netanyahu).
And what would be in it for Netanyahu? Netanyahu is aware of points 1 and 2 above. He could simply play out the clock, let the negotiations fail, blame Eisenkot, and come back with the extra few seats he needs in May. Would he betray his reliable hard-right and Haredi allies for what could be a short-term coalition? Unlikely.
The problem is that when someone has the choice of who gets to extort them, nobody gets to do it. And that is the definition of power. Optionality. All Eisenkot’s options are bad, all Netanyahu’s are good.
And like that...
No one cares anymore about @elonmusk and his flying car.
Cheerios is boldly going where no cereal has gone before: a resealable Ziploc bag.
The option will be available on Original and Honey Nut Cheerios beginning Tuesday, online at Walmart, before rolling out to retailers nationwide in the coming months. wapo.st/4ibAkPi
Any aren't 18 yet.
And many vote for other parties.
If the exit polls hold, tonight raises a huge demographic question: How is Israel’s fastest-growing population, the ultra-Orthodox, not gaining Knesset seats? Yes, there are reasons for lower turnout, including some Shas voters demanding mandatory military service. But where are the huge families, hundreds of grandchildren and demographic growth at the ballot box? Shas drops from 11 to 7 seats. Stunning.

הנתון הכי חשוב במערכה הזו, על פי חוק יסוד הכנסת מפלגות ששוללות את זכות קיומה של מדינת ישראל כמדינה יהודית ודמוקרטית או תומכות במאבק מזוין נגדה לא יכולות להתמודד לכנסת.
בפועל, בחסות הפסיקה של אהרן ברק וממשיכי דרכו בבג״צ, חוק היסוד הזה הפך לאות מתה.
אם מנהיגי השמאל ילכו על שותפות עם תומכי הטרור, ישראל תחדול דה פקטו מלהיות מדינה ציונית ותעשה למדינה דו-לאומית. זה לב האירוע.
This guy is definitely retarded.
The Bank of Israel operates almost entirely the same as our Federal Reserve.
They are both independent. The ownership is irrelevant.
Also, Kevin Warsh isn't a dual citizen

There is only one rule in modern Israeli politics:
Never. Underestimate. Bibi.
So the only place in the middle East where Arab Muslims & Christians can view is in Israel.
Got it.
Supporters of Israel’s Arab-led parties celebrate as exit polls project gains for the Joint List and Ra’am. The two parties are projected to win a combined 17 to 18 seats.
