Struggling to right their own struggling poll numbers, Kadima Party leader Shaul Mofaz is seeking to reinvent his centrist party as an alternative to the single-mindedly hawkish Likud-Beiteinu bloc and its leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Netanyahu is busy with only one thing – bombing Iran. Nothing else interests him,” Mofaz warned, saying the prime minister was ignoring domestic issue and focusing on “only his uncontrollable urge to bomb Iran.”
Mofaz ended his press conference by introducing a new campaign banner emblazoned with the slogan “Bibi is entangling us,” and lashed the combination of the “irresponsible man” Netanyahu and the “unrestrained man” Lieberman as “dangerous for Israel.”
Kadima, like most other parties, is running against the Likud-Beiteinu far-right bloc, but while the left-center seems to be showing major gains in recent polls as an alternative, Kadima continues to struggle with single-digit seats and some polls showing they may be out of parliament entirely.
Netanyahu's electoral success exposes the lie of Natan Sharansky's theory that democracy is inherently peaceful.
"Democratic leaders, whose power is ultimately dependent on popular support, are held accountable for failing to improve the lives of their citizens. Therefore, they have a powerful incentive to keep their societies peaceful and prosperous."
Seems not, or else there is something very wrong with Israel as a democratic society.
Misleading discusions, all the reasoning "why Israel this or what Israel thinks, etc is good for nothing…"
Place is biggest treat to ME and treat to World peace. From its begining its the biggest mistake UN/ Internacional community alowed to happened…Its moral duty of every UN member/every human being to correct this EMBARISMENT and work towards Israels dissolution. Its the minimum Mankind can do for Truly Scriptures religious TRUTH Jews living strictly according scriptures and Gods commandments – living in disapora /many in Iran!!!/….Period of 66 horible and horror years for Palestine people, people of ME was enough!!!
Time to return to DAYS OF HARMONY, time to stop rasist and apartheid regimes wherever they may be….Its either: "Humanity against Israel – or – horrors of wars/ possibly WW3/ made/sponsored by deceptive Zionist regime. All people in Palestine/Israel deserve WAKE UP call ….and return back before 1946!!! peter czech
