Arlene Kushner on Making Sense Out of Netanyahu's Coalition

From Arlene Kushner

Could Be Worse


Before I begin to discuss how it could be worse, a couple of housekeeping matters.

First, dear readers, please know that I am working overtime on the Legal Grounds Campaign.  That’s a good thing, because it means we are developing a solid campaign to coincide with the formation of the new government.  But it also means that there is less time for me to write. And so, please understand if sometimes intervals of several days go by in which I do not post.  Nothing is wrong.

I’ll pick up again on my regular posting schedule as soon as possible.

Thank you.

As to the Legal Grounds Campaign, if you have not done so, please do take a look at our website: http://israelrights.com .  Please! join the campaign (no cost), and take the time to learn about the campaign and Israel’s legal rights by reading the material on the site.
Legal Grounds
Thank you again.

This lovely man is Yaakov Kirschen, originator of the Dry Bones cartoons. When you visit our website you will see the cartoon he did to address our issues.

When I wrote about him recently, I referred to him as Yaakov Kirschner.  And I do not excuse myself for this silly mistake.  I sentence myself to 100 lashes with a wet noodle.

Now let’s talk about how it could be worse. What I have in mind is the new coalition that was formed, literally, at the very last minute, by Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Arlene Kushner on Naftali Bennett And The Balagan Of The Israeli Election

From Arlene Kushner:
December 27, 2012

Politics


Israeli politics, that is. A balagan (confusion). But it's time for me to take a look at what's happening. Especially as part of the Israeli electoral circus has made press in the US.

+Naftali Bennett is the new Chair of the Habayit Hayehudi (The Jewish Home) party -- which has been strengthened via a list merger with National Union (Tekuma faction).

He has brought new energy to the party, which traditionally has a religious, nationalist base; with broader outreach, he has been showing well in polls.

Video: Naftali Bennett on Judea and Samaria: The Israel Stability Initiative

Credit: Wiki Commons
In Israel, Jewish Home Party leader +Naftali Bennett said last week that as a soldier he would rather go to jail for insubordination than to follow orders to evict West Bank settlers.

Bennett got into hot water -- and his party promptly gained 2 seats.

Since Bennett's Jewish Home Party would be an ally to Netanyahu's Likud-Beitenu party, it would be helpful to know just where he stands on the issue of Judea and Shomron.

Here are 2 videos: one in Hebrew with English subtitles and the other an explanation given by Bennett himself -- in English.
