[a sellout to opposing forces in order to stay in power!?]
CHAINS by Shalom Pollack
“Political sources have told Arutz Sheva that Netanyahu is looking into the possibility of entering into negotiations with the United Arab List (Ra’am), which is led by MK Mansour Abbas, to secure their support for the formation of a new Netanyahu-led government. According to the sources, Netanyahu would seek to form a minority government which would rely on the votes of the UAL from outside the coalition. “
For those who don’t follow Israeli politics closely, the above item is not only of great strategic importance to the protagonists in the latest election, it signals an historic milestone.
Israeli Arab citizens enjoy full and equal rights (though not obligations). The four current Arab parties all oppose the very idea of a Jewish state. The grievance over their loss in the 1948 of Independence seems to only grow as Arab participation in politics / economy /education are depended and expanded in Israel.
Historically, only Israel’s extreme Left welcomed this Arab support in governing the Jewish state. With time, and particularly after the 1993 Oslo debacle, when the PLO was given a red carpet into the heart of Israel and into the hearts of gullible, desperate Jews, has anti-Zionist Arab support become increasingly sought.
Two blocs ran against each other in this election; the Netanyahu camp and the anti-Netanyahu camp.
The pro camp includes various shades of the “Right”.
The anti-camp contains almost the entire Israeli political spectrum, from anti-Zionist Arabs through the hard Left, all the way to career Right wingers.
It is most interesting to see how the various parties relate to the possibility of forming a government dependent upon the “Ra’am” party. “Ra’am” is an ideological branch of the “Muslim Brotherhood”.
The Left not only seek their support and their demands but see it as a sign of the maturation of Israel.
The “Right” elements in the anti-camp are in a dilemma. Is their personal hatred for the prime minister and their lust for power stronger than their deepest principles to date?
In the pro camp, a couple of Likud leaders already have voiced the possibility of forming a government beholden to the Muslim Brotherhood. They were quickly muzzled by the boss, but the trial balloon is out there.
The only party that has clearly rejected “Ra’am”s support/influences is the National Religious party; a handful of throwbacks to the days when the very idea was considered absurd by mainstream Israel.
It is not absurd anymore; It's serious politics in the Jewish state. The influence of Muslim Brotherhood now has over the fate of Israel is more than a strategic position; It is history.
Not only do non-Jews influence the fate of the state made for the Jews, but these non-Jews made careers of praising killers of Jews.
They refuse to call them terrorists or murderers. They have their own narrative and insist that Israel accept it. They are freedom fighters.
It's not that we were not warned about this very moment in Israel’s political life. A great rabbi rang the alarm and warned of the dangerous, absurd slippery slope that we created for ourselves in the name of “Democracy”.
Democracy must overshadow any other consideration - even our survival as a Jewish country. The rabbi was vilified and treated as public enemy number one. Official Israel wanted only to be free of his continual disturbing warnings.
As we celebrate the holiday of our Nation unchained, let us reflect on the chains that we have created with our own hands in our Jewish state and remember that we were warned.

This pm has proven himself to be a disgrace together with the rest of the other politicians. They'd all sell their mothers for power, r'l. But, our hope is H's Promise to send us our Goel Tzedek; praying it be immediately!
