There is a lot of palaver out there...

to the effect that Benjamin Netanyahu is about to go over the hump in the upcoming Israeli Parliamentary Elections. I for one don't believe it. Netanyahu has a Nixonian quality for survival and retention in office, if his coalition is frayed well that is normal state of Israeli politics all it really means is that his next coalition will be even more tattered and dubious than whatever he has at the moment. No...at the moment Israeli politics is a bit of an anxious void, peacenikery hasn't yielded results but war has revealed at best only a limited long term utility...into this void, Netanyahu steps every time. To knock someone like him out of office you need simple powerful ideas, a coalition to back said program up...and a credible Prime Minister Designate...I don't see any of the like on the horizon. Advantage Netanyahu...
