As head of the largest party in the Knesset, Binyamin Netanyahu has been tasked with building the next government coalition. HaBayit HaYehudi is, at 12 seats, the fourth-biggest party and the only other "true" right-wing party in the Knesset. However, staying true to form, Netanyahu has displayed a certain lack of enthusiasm in recruiting them, even though they probably have the fewest demands and conditions to join.

Well, the results are in, and Yair Lapid's brand spanking new Yesh Atid party has clocked in at 19 mandates. History indicates that he should enjoy his popularity while it lasts: Israeli "fad" parties tend to have a brief shelf life. (Shinui went from 6 to 15 to 0; Gil, the Pensioners' Party, went from 0 to 7 and back to 0; the Democratic Movement for Change, or Dash, one-upped them by going from 0 to 15 and back to 0, lasting than three years; Tzomet went from 2 to 8 to 3 to 0; and Kadima was born in sin with 17, was officially elected to 29, then went from 28 to its current 2.) Coincidentally, Shinui was led by Yosef "Tommy" Lapid--Yair's father. Foreshadowing? Time will tell.
UPDATE: Ho hum, another LBd'O reposting. I'm blasé (French for "blazzy").

Doodling with the Katz kids

So today the Kaztes came by. I told their youngest son to tell me to draw something. He told me to draw a man coming out of a tent.
So I drew this.

Then he drew this.

So then I put my own spin on it.

Soon afterwards the other Katz boy mentioned the Amish so I drew an Amish person.

Then he remarked how much he looked like Abraham Lincoln so I drew Lincoln from memory.

Today was a productive day.

This cartoon is grossly inaccurate because no Israeli TV studio would ever send out an Ethiopian reporter to interview the man on the street.

Went for the visual pun here.

The Harpaz Affair is a scandal which I won't go into here because you can read all about it elsewhere, but the investigation has shone light on the very ugly can of worms involving the higher-ups of the IDF, the Defense Ministry, and the rest of Israel's security community.

The Likud's slide in the polls has continued unabated, and while they're likely still going to end up the next Knesset's biggest party there are several smaller parties looming larger, which will drastically impact their authority. (The letters are the ones used to symbolize the parties on their ballots.)

Oh, Shimon Peres. You did so much good for Israel as Finance Minister and Defense Minister in the '70s and '80s. But then you just kept on going, and now everything you touch turns to crap, particularly your obsessive quest for peace at any price. It was unamusing then and it's unamusing now, and believe me when I say that every right-wing Israeli is going hoarse from chanting "Told you so!" over the past couple of decades. You got out of the Knesset and into Beit HaNassi, so now all you have to do is shut your stupid gob and we can all get on with our lives.
