The news tonight is that Kadima has won the Israeli election but with lower than expected seats. and So Kadima has to form a Coalition, maybe with a revitalised Labor, plus others--but who? Does this victory mean a mandate for dismantling settlements? Or a mandate for unilateral action?
Probably. That means the legitimacy of Jewish settlements throughout the West Bank is now well and truly in question.
The rise of the Pensioners Party indicates a protest of the way the elderly have been treated. Linda Grant says that it has to do with economics:
The bitterness and anger they feel at the robbing of their benefits by Netanyahu's Thatcherite economic programmes, their poverty, their humiliating dependence on the kindness of strangers, is an indication of the depths of their betrayal by the state they made; by a government who robbed them blind to hand over their pensions to settlement construction, to give tax rebates and mortgage relief to fanatics who don't give a damn about the state of Israel and its inhabitants, only the land of Israel, this little bit of turf right here that the Torah mentions. Holy ground and to hell with you, whether it's your olive trees growing on what under international law is Palestinian soil, or .you are 75 years old with a bag of rusty medals, struggling to keep warm in winter on the coastal plain.
The other suprise is the strength of the Israeli Right---Israel Our Home--- and its nationalist vision of a greater Israel, despite the humiliating collapse of the Likud, which three months ago was the ruling party. Likud under Benjamin Netanyahu, was shown the exit yesterday by an electorate that relegated the party to opposition, and to fifth place among the contending parties.
In Australia Daniel Pipes, writing inThe Australian, (29 March) comments on the Israeli election:
As Israelis go to the polls, not one of the leading parties offers the option of winning the war against the Palestinians. It's a striking and dangerous lacuna....The Oslo diplomacy ended in dismal failure and so will all of the other schemes that avoid the hard work of winning. Israelis must eventually gird themselves to resuming the difficult, bitter, long and expensive effort needed to convince the Palestinians and others that their dream of eliminating Israel is defunct. Should Israelis fail to achieve this, then Israel itself will be defunct.
What does winning the war mean for this hawk? A greater Israel? A push towards ethnic cleansing-- the expulsion of the Palestinians as Yisrael Beitenu advocates?

Israel is making a BIG mistake in handing over more territory to Palestine,as God gave them all (Israel)
and God will retaliate until it is all given back.
They (Israel) is The Apple of God's Eye, read Zecharia 2v8 says he who touched you (Israel) Zion touches the Apple of His Eye (His pupil).
Why can't the world get it in their heads once and for all ,but they won't, that Israel is going to win ,just as they have won over all the nations that hate them and attack them every time.
Short fast wars leading to world war 3 when Isarel will win again after attacked by 200 million armies .They always win .Get it!
All this is prophesied in The Bible , Israel wins this last war within 24 hours.
I am watching a series of 8 dvds by Hilton Sutton Christian teacher for over 53 years on The book of Revelations that makes it all so clear not fear.
Just think on this ,why do most nations hate and want the destruction of a tiny,rocky,very dry land like Israel?
It is a spiritual war really, for the devil to try and win just as he tried to wipe out Jesus Christ and failed .
Get the Passion movie and see what He did for you.
