Israeli Elections

Well, I would have said that over 2,000 pogroms resulting in the deaths of 150,000 Jews in the 20th century alone, BEFORE the Holocaust, makes them a bit more than pretending to be the 'innocent victims' and kind of gives an 'excuse' for seeking safety and security.

But then, Jews huh, always looking for a fight.

You can't constantly use the past to justify the crimes ypu commit today. Do you accept a pedo's excuse that they commit such heinous acts because they were abused as a child? No You Don't do you.

I can't help wondering myself what will actually change.

From what I can see, the only possible change will be that if Bibi loses then he might go to the ICC.
Looks more like a power struggle than anyone actually proposing a change.

I doubt even the Anti bibi block would hand him over, they never signed the Rome statute, if he is arrested and prosecuted they'd likely want a Israeli court to do it.

I was justifying the existence of a Jewish state which you treat with flippancy.

As you seem to do with them defending themselves after being attacked constantly since the day Israel was declared.

True. I also wonder if even that is possible. Will they have the power to do a proper investigation into it.
 
The record voter turnout must mean that Israeli society as a whole wants change.

Surely it's not difficult to guess what that change might be , given what's happened over last 3 years.

They all birds of the same despicable feather.
Modern day anti semites, using the anti Zionist/Israel narrative to justfiy their blind,toxic hatred.

Apartheid South Africa had Coloured Affairs and elected representatives for coloureds...was that a democracy?

This seems a disingenuous comparison.

There are Arab politicians in the Knesset (at present there are 13 Arab members of the Knesset), actively involved in the governing of the country.

Apartheid South African introducing racially segregated chambers for Indians and Coloureds, while still maintaining decisive political power within the exclusively white National Assembly, is not the same thing. Also, the small matter of excluding the black majority entirely.

Courts call it "mitigating circumstances"

Like how those loony lefty retards wore pink and defended Lindsy Clitsey to the death

But the vote looks to be divided with more going to the old guard. So perhaps just as many people like the status quo.

Rumours are that he might flee to Argentina to avoid going to the ICC if he doesn't stay in power :X3:

Kinda quiet in here from the usual suspects. I even took certain people from my ignore list to see all the arguments but it appears there are none when faced with facts and their usual hateful posts will make them look kind of stupid (looking at you Vorrie).

I can only assume that we are all agreed that Israel is in fact a democracy and there is no Apartheid as Israeli Arabs flocked to the polls beside their Jewish neighbours.

Isn't it nice when we all get on?

Yep...Apartheid state indeed...hahaha.

Over 1 million Arabs voted.

This massive turnout surge propelled Arab-led coalitions (such as the Joint List and Ra'am) to a projected record 17 to 19 seats in the Knesset, making them potential "kingmakers" in the ongoing efforts to form a new government coalition.

I wonder how many POC voted during ACTUAL apartheid in SA?

And how many were MP's and could form coalitions to form new governments?

Using the word "apartheid" in the Israeli/palestine context, is an actual insult to people that REALLY suffered under apartheid.
