Election day is over.

Worst elections in Israel I witnessed. Voters are tired and disappointed. The attendance is on record low.

"Kadima" - a party emerged from nothing in half a year before election - takes majority of Knesset seats. At the top of "Kadima" list are politicians that failed to win their former parties vote and had no chance to reach top positions there. Russian Jews bring Liberman. The only real party in the future government is "Avoda" with welfare ideas of Amir Peretz.

Well, at least iniliteral separation seems to be insured now. And Likud got the shock that, may be, will lead to some renovations in the party.

I hope that the internal contradictions of Kadima come out, and Likud is restored. I don't claim to know much about it, of course - I know it's very complex, and I'm an American, but that's just my feeling on the matter. I want Israel to be secure and to thrive.

I'm surprised that Yisrael Beiteinu got more seats than Likud, bringing up again "what do I know." I just hope that the principles (surivival and safety as a Jewish State being first of these principles) themselves come out, above party politics... doesn't that sound optimistic. But I still mean it.
