  1. This election will turn on whether Yachad makes the 3.25% election threshold. if they fall just short the right will lose 4 seats and the 3.25% will just about break even between right and left.

  2. This is one of the reasons we should not have a Jewish state.we have no business playing law makers we have law from g-d and that should be it.
