If those polls are correct, Yesh Atid will be reduced to a much smaller party and Rabbi Lipman and company may lose their Knesset seats. And that will be a very sad outcome despite the joy the Charedi world might express at it.
So that’s where we stand politically in my view. There are of course many more issues involved in this election. All of them important that will be impacted. Settlements; realationship with the Arab State and Palestinians. Relationships with the US… all important. But if history has taught us anything – life in Israel will hardly change unless there is something drastic done along the line of Rabbi Pruzansky’s suggestions. That is not going to happen under Netanyahu.
As an Orthodox Jew concerned for the welfare of my fellow Jews, this is not a happy day for me.
