Tel-Chai Nation: Election results are hopefully better than expected in some ways, if not all

I'd voted early in the morning, then waited all day long for the results of the Israeli election, realizing it may not turn out well. But now, here come the results as reported on Bloomberg, and while Benny Gantz's party may have more according to these exit pollings, the Likud does seem to have a majority coalition available.

Well I sure hope this is about what's estimated. It doesn't look like Gantz and Yair Lapid will be able to form a coaltion. It most certainly does, however, look like the Labor party did terribly, brought down to a single digit of 8 or 9 seats. Here's more on INN about Channel 13's results:

An exit poll published by Channel 13 News showed the Likud and Blue and White parties tied at 36 seats while the right-wing bloc won 66 seats in total.

According to the poll, the Labor, Shas, Hadash-Ta'al and United Torah Judaism parties would each receive seven Knesset seats, while the United Right, New Right, Kulanu, Meretz, and Yisrael Beiteinu parties would receive four seats each.

The results on the different channels are conflicting, however. But if this is any indication, the results are a relief for the most part.

Update: the Kulanu and Shas parties will give their recommendations to the president that Netanyahu form the next government.

“On the news side, [ New York Times]
editors refused to correct both the false report
that a Pew survey found that nearly half of
Israeli Jews favor expelling all Palestinians,
as well as the completely unfounded claim
that most of Jaffa’s Arab residents were
forcibly expelled from their homes in 1948.”

Michael Moore is one of the greatest
heroes of the political Far-Left.

This is what he recently said about
the accuracy of our news media:

“The day before the election,
The New York Times said
he [Donald Trump] had a 15%
chance of winning.

Why would you believe anything
The New York Times
says after that?

This is a [news]paper that,
like much of the media,
has been out of touch.”
