Israeli elections results - plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.


At 9.15 a.m., 2,826,333 votes had been counted – or 34.99% of the casted ballots.

Again, Israelis seems to have forgotten Iran. After all, it is essential that whoever is the PM of Israel understands that when it comes to nuclear deterrence Iran cannot be deterred since according to Bernard Lewis "For people with this mindset, M.A.D. is not a constraint; it is an inducement... "

 Since Benyamin Netanyahu and Michael Oren ( who is not running) are the only two Israeli politicians who have quoted Bernard Lewis on MAD, one would expect that that the electorate would rely on Bibi. Apparently not, not even at the time when Pompeo is in Saudi Arabia blaming Iran for the oil attacks.

 Go figure!
