Israel's Election Dashes Hopes for Peace


Israel's elections on Tuesday ended in a near draw, with the two front runners - centrist Kadima party leader Tzipi Livni and hawkish Likud chief Benjamin Netanyahu - each claiming victory. With nearly all votes counted, Livni's party won 28 Knesset seats, and Netanyahu's 27 seats, both falling well short of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset.

The result could be the worst possible outcome for Israel, guaranteeing weeks of political turmoil ahead, and stalling any attempts by U.S. President Barack Obama's administration to restart Middle East peace talks. Whoever comes to power in Israel is likely to be tugged in different directions by combative coalition partners.

In the past, smaller parties have held governments of both the right and the left hostage to their narrow, self-serving agendas. (See pictures of heartbreak in the Middle East.)

As the single largest party, Kadima will try to approach President Shimon Peres next week for permission to form what Livni calls "a national unity government that would be founded on the large parties in Israel from both Kadima's left and right."

It is a logical option. But Livni lacks support among the other parties. For starters, she needs to coax Netanyahu to join her. The two parties actually share many of the same policies and ideologies - Kadima broke away from Likud and drifted to the center - and, in theory, their combined strength could usher in a solid, center-right government. But the mutual antagonism of both leaders makes an accommodation all but impossible. Netanyahu, for example, refused to debate with her in public and both rivals launched smear attacks against each other.

Netanyahu, a former Prime Minister, insists that he should be Israel's next premier, not Livni. He may be right. Political analysts say the Likud leader stands a far better chance of stitching together a right-wing coalition with the smaller, religious groups and with Yisrael Beitenu, a nationalist, anti-Arab party that was the surprise in these elections. At the last poll, in 2006, Yisrael Beitenu won just 11 seats. Yesterday it won 15, knocking the venerable Labor party, which picked up 13 seats, into fourth place.

With Kadima and Likud both far short of a majority in the Knesset, Yisrael Beitenu's controversial leader, Avigdor Lieberman, has emerged as the key power broker. Speaking to his party supporters at midnight as votes were being tallied, Lieberman indicated that his natural inclination is to side with Netanyahu. "We want a right-wing government," he said flatly. Lieberman also took a swing at the outgoing Kadima-led government for entering into Egyptian-brokered cease-fire talks with Gaza's Islamic militants, Hamas. "We will not have direct or indirect negotiations with Hamas nor a cease-fire," he said, adding that he would join any government that had as its objective "the defeat of Hamas".

(See pictures of Israeli soldiers in Gaza.)

Political commentators and pollsters say that Israelis shifted back to the right out of dissatisfaction over the failure of peace talks with the Palestinians and a lingering sense that the Gaza war ended too soon, without crushing Hamas militants or ending their rocket fire into southern Israel.

The rightward tilt is a blow to President Obama's hopes that a new Israeli government might be willing to make peace with the Palestinians and various Arab neighbors. Netanyahu and Lieberman are pushing for the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, which Palestinians say is a main obstacle to peace,

and are adamant that Israel should hang onto the Golan Heights seized from Syria in the 1967 war. Both Netanyahu and Lieberman also say that the army ought to return to Gaza and wipe out Hamas. During the campaign, Netanyahu said, "There will be no alternative but to bring down the regime of Hamas, a terrorist organization pledged to our destruction. Ultimately, Israel cannot tolerate an Iranian base right next to its cities."

Livni's bid to become Israel's first woman premier since Golda Meir in the 1970s looks increasingly hopeless. Spurned by Netanyahu, she will turn left to Labor and other smaller parties, but the only way she can make the numbers add up to a 61-seat majority is if she entices Lieberman to join her. The drawback is that if she succeeds, Labor and the leftist parties will leave in disgust. The Arab parties, which have a total of 11 seats, are also unlikely to join a Livni-led coalition because they remain angry over the Gaza invasion last December. Israeli Arabs voted in big numbers after Lieberman insisted that all Israeli Arabs take a loyalty oath or lose their citizenship. Jamal Zahalka, leader of the Arab party Balad, also said that Israel's assault in Gaza also rallied voters. "The Zionist parties all supported what happened in Gaza, so Arab voters reacted by voting for us and not the Zionist parties."

Whomever Peres picks to form a new government - and it will probably be Netanyahu - has 42 days to glue together a coalition. Most likely, the bartering will drag on for weeks, with outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert staying on as caretaker, probably until early April. Before the voting Israelis said they wanted a strong leader. What they have instead is a prolonged period of political disarray.

SHALOM

Tzedakah - Charity
"Kol Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh." ="All YIsrael is responsible for one another." (Talmud Shavuot 39a)
Proverbs 29:7, "The righteous consider the cause of the poor:~ but the wicked regard not to know of it."
Tehillim (Proverbs) 28:27 27 He who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.



~There are three tithes mentioned in the Torah...The first is intended to provide for the priesthood, so they can dedicate themselves to the work full time...The second is for your use in traveling to the festivals, and in purchasing whatever your heart desires each year...Then the third tithe (which is to be collected two years in seven) is for the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the needy.~~~Ponder this'~

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 26:12-13 12 "When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year -- the year of tithing -- and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow , so that they may eat within your gates and be filled,
13 then you shall say before YHVH your Elohim: 'I have removed the set-apart tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me.
I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them."

~ May Ha'Shem bless Your journey~



~Love at it's finest~

For those of you who are Brit Chadasah [Christian bible] Only~ These scriptures apply toward Charitable giving

MainSite

Yochanan Aleph (1st John) 3:17 17
"But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of Elohim abide in him?
Yaakov (James) 2:14-17 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.



NOTE:: Tzadakah [Pious Benevolent giving] / Charity is a fundamental part of the Jewish way of life.
Traditional Jews give at two-ten percent of their income to charity. Moreover
traditional Jewish homes commonly have a pushke, [a box for collecting coins for the poor] The coins are routinely placed in the box.
We have several in our home for change gathering




>Baruch haba b'shem YHVH
We are all the creators son's[ daughters]
we are all one, from one, in one.

Only our perception of what
and who G-d is keeps us divided,...
yet our heart yearns to be one'
Selah





Where you come from~~~Where you are at , and Where you are going too'..that is the three main things you need to know. Would you follow a person that did not know those three things I think not ...Enjoy your journey
