Now what???????????///////

well nothing!!!!!!!if israel voted in an election there is nothing that one should rejoice...one hypocrite will replace the other...couple of new feigned promises and some sham peace efforts that will again result in nothing but the wicked Israeli plans to grab the Palestinian land? what else? can you expect anything else. if you do, you will be disappointed..

@Hadi

To some extant you are right as isreli election is only a Jewish affair and have nothing to do with the the Israeli arabs. they denied United Arab List-Ta’al and Balad from running in parliamentary elections with the bogus accusations of racism from Arab MKs. still Israel is a democratic country and enjoys the most friendly relations with US. But there is other side of the coin as well. Hamas’s and Iranian claim to eradicate israel from the map and devoid it the right to exist is something that brings two nations to a brink where from the reconciliation seems impossible but violent breakup imminent. this should be avoided from both sides.

now perhaps Tzipi Livni will take over and she is the one who recommends the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians...Netanyahu is not even going to stop or give occupied land back either but we will keep the fingers crossed to see how their altitude of brutality measure to the one that Olmart did during his reign.

@ khor and Hadi

why you people are with so much evil conception and one sided views...one may say that israli aggression in Gaza was wrong but attack is the most prominent way to defend... just put yourself in the scenario where the rockets are usually lending in your courtyard and you shiver everytime for your life with the siren or sometimes find a big hole in your roof spoiling everything that you made with the hard earned money...just put urself there and u probably will do the same...

Election and the saga of democracy in the mideast... but All hail for “the only democracy in the Middle East” Democracy my a**, Muslims are denied the vote, can’t develop land and off course treated as second class (sub-human) citizens and arab parties are denied to fight election. well form me it is actually democracy at work, and the majority voting away the rights of minority.

Muslims aren’t denied the vote.

this is not true but the facts are provided other way. Arab Israelis can still run for office and Arab Israelis can still vote. The Arab Parties were banned because of their incitement, supporting terrorist groups and refusing to recognize Israel’s right to exist. Iam sure as a few of you might be knowing that the current Israeli minister of Science is an Arab. The Israeli Supreme Court has time and time again said Arab Israelis have full rights but that doesn’t mean their parties or MKs can break the law.

It’s good to see more moderate Kadima Party having done well in the election and it seems well for future. with this it is highly likely that constructive negotiations with the Palestinians will continue. However, the success of Kadima, to some extant, is counter-acted by the almost equal success of Likud party and tt seems that Israeli politics is once again in a state of un-productive stalemate that will result in zero progress in all the issues that really matter for the geo-political stability in the Mideast.
