Bennett said, "If I will be elected Prime Minister, I will shut down all the Haredi parties' school chains - (Personally (me, not Bennett) I think it is a problem that political parties are running schoool systems, but that's the way it is, now back to Bennett) Under our noses an independent Haredi anti-Zionist state has been established within Israel and we are funding it from our pockets. In the next government we will move to fix an historical error that allowed for the creation of seperate states. This is the rule: not stately (there is no great definition for mamlachti) - not on our dime...."

I dont know if he is serious or not about this. Maybe it is just trying to differentiate himself from others and bring in votes. Even if Bennett was serious about this, I doubt he would be able to do this, even if today's Opposition wins and he figures out a way to get the other parties (Eisenkot and Lieberman specifically) to support him for PM ... 60 or 70 years ago the Haredi school systems were tiny. Today they are massive. 

Even if he wins, nobody is forecasting a landslide that would give him a powerful government. Even if you trust the polls that forecast victory for the Opposition and defeat for today's Coalition parties, it will be another weak government (because it will be narrow) that will probably not last long and will not get anything major done. This is something major that will be a big fight and garner massive opposition and won't be so easy to accomplish.

I think this can be taken with a grain of salt

Last night there were protests and riots in and outside of Bet Shemesh. Peleg Yerushalmi people found out or heard that a yeshiva bochur in the area had been arrested, or maybe detained, for being a "deserter" from the IDF. They quickly mobilized and wreaked havoc in the area, including breaking into the police station where the detainee was supposedly being held, until they were eventually pushed out.

I'm honestly fascinated by the protests that happen when a yeshiva bochur is arrested/detained, and specifically by their level of organization.. 

They seem to have enough people all over the place to get a crowd quickly at the site of the arrest. They get the word out quickly and people show up immediately.

They don't have weapons but the police usually have no control and can't defend themselves against these protesters with the protesters often creating so much havoc that the police often releases the detainee or just gives up and leaves the area if they have not already gotten their guy. And like last night, they at times even break into the police station and physically free them from the clutches of the police. 

No consequences, nobody really gets into any trouble, anyone arrested for this behavior seems to be released fairly quickly.

I'm amazed and fascinated.

Feiglin has proposed to all parties to the right of the Likud, being Zehut, Otzma Yehudit (Ben Gvir), Hatzionut Hadatit (Smotritch), and Ofer Vinter (who has not yet announced a new party or what party he will be running in but looks like he is making preparation to run in the elections) to come together in one large party. 

Feiglin mentioned joining together as a technical block, but for his goal, which I have not yet mentioned, I think it should be an actual merged one party, not a technical block.

So Feiglin wants the parties to all join together in one form or another (he suggests a technical block but I doubt that he is not open to other arrangements), and he says the positioning of candidates within can be determined by a very simple poll. 

If they were all to join forces into one party running in the elections, Feiglin thinks they can challenge the Likud and even surpass them as the largest party on the Right side of the political coin. This would allow them to actually be the ruling party and not just small sectoral parties, unseating PM Netanyahu and actually ruling the country with right wing ideals.

This is an intiative I can get behind, and is basically (not the specific details but the concept) something I have been reocmmending for the last few years - the Right parties should get together and push out Netanyahu and support someone else for Prime Minister. This tactical plan goes beyond what I envisioned, which is why they are in politics and not me, but the idea is one I can support.

I am not sure even together they have the numbers to succeed, but they should at least try!
