More of its founders were European than American. That means the same messy coalition parliamentary politics without even the benefit of regional representation and direct elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">It\u2019s a terrible system that serves all the wrong people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The last few years have been a grinding disaster of repeat elections because:Subscribe to The JNS Daily Syndicate by email and never miss our top stories<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">1. A huge chunk of Israel\u2019s political spectrum wants to oust Netanyahu. Those on the left, including pseudo-centrists like Yesh Atid Party leader Yair Lapid, are motivated by ideology. Others, on the right, are scrambling for power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">2. No leader within Netanyahu\u2019s Likud or outside has emerged as a viable alternative to him. Non-Likud parties have little credibility. Especially those on the left. The fake centrist parties that act as leftist stalking horses have even less credibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">What finally happened is that one of the alternative right-wing parties got together with the left and Israel\u2019s worst enemies to form a coalition. And the media is celebrating Netanyahu\u2019s downfall while preparing to spin this as proof that Israel is terrible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">I\u2019m not in the business of making political predictions, but I am skeptical that a coalition so ridiculously unwieldy can hold up. And Netanyahu is far from done. There are plenty of reasons for Israelis to be disappointed by Netanyahu, but this alternative coalition is the equivalent of Never Trumpers campaigning for Hillary. Except it\u2019s even worse, by a factor of a few thousand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The only thing uniting the Never Netanyahu coalition is hatred of the man himself, and of religious Jews. That\u2019s a weak bond and won\u2019t make for a stable power-sharing arrangement even assuming it manages to get any further off the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The only thing that the coalition proves is that the Never Netanyahus have yet to come up with an alternative to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>This article was first published by&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/\">FrontPage Magazine<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 100%;\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content-alignment\">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE NEVER NETANYAHU COALITION Daniel Greenfield The only thing uniting the Never Netanyahu coalition is hatred of the man himself, and of religious Jews.
