More than that is hard to assess: I don’t know the Israeli political map, and the people who do are doing some impressive shrugging about accurate answers. Suffice it to say that Benjamin Netanyahu’s likely coalition is right now having a better night than expected. Past that, I intend to stay out of the Israeli election.
Would that President Obama had done the same. On the other hand, he probably didn’t want Netanyahu to win. On the gripping hand, Barack Obama’s track record at getting people do things when they don’t want to do them is… poor.
