After seeing Netanyahou shamelessly use the floor of the US Capitol (and the Republican fools that kissed his ass) as a backdrop for his campaign, I want to see him go down to defeat more than ever.
He needs something to really wail about........

Israel has a complicated parliamentary system. Even if Netanyahu does not get the most votes, the winner may not be able to form a coalition from among all the center-left to left parties to form a government. The right has, sadly, become very strong there. Probably a bunch of center-right factions would have to join in a coalition to let Labor/ZC actually rule.
I'm actually glad we don't have a parliamentary system (I think).

Israel is nine hours ahead of San Diego (Western. 2 PM SD is 11 PM Israel)

So, Israel's polls close at 7AM East coast and 10AM West coast.
