Coalition Games

Netanyahu, Lieberman and Zipi Livni are playing with bricks (government), Eli Yishai (SHASS) is standing in the back and Ehud Barak is playing far away with a tank.

B"H

Israel still doesn't have a government and our leading politicians are playing power games with each other. Zipi Livni is against a coalition with Netanyahu, as she is the "winner" of the latest elections. What she doesn't understand is that she doesn't have much of a choice. Either she enters a coalition with the Likud or she is out of the picture and on the back bench joining the opposition with Ehud Barak.

Netanyahu is the real winner but hesitates to go into a coalition with secular porky Lieberman who wants to change the conversion regulations (all Russians are Jewish and everyone can get married to anyone he wants). Benjamin Netanyahu would rather prefer the right - wingers such as SHASS, Ichud HaLe'umi and HaBeit Hayehudi (national religious). The only problem is that he seems to be too afraid of announcing that no more settlements will disappear and new ones are being build. Netanyahu sees Barak Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton coming and demanding to abolish more settlements. Then Bibi will say NO but in the end, a YES is coming out of his mouth.

Today Kadima met with Lieberman and basically agrees to his demands. However, not all Russian are getting Israeli citizenship; especially not all the Russian Gentiles flocking in. This is even too much for Zipi Livni. We are a Jewish country and don't want all the Russian Gentiles who are only looking for their profits in a foreign country. Maybe Rotation ? Just as Yitzchak Shamir and Shimon Peres once did ? Zipi doesn't want the opposition and no rotation. She wants to be prime minister now. No matter what.

As it is late at night, I am wishing a GOOD NIGHT (LAILA TOV) to Zipi and pleasant dreams about her being the new prime minister.
But only in her dreams !
