I'm sorry you disregard your friends' democratic right to vote with their heads and hearts. It is a proven fact that a vote for Sharon's large Likud was a wasted vote, as well as the Mafdal that sat it many governments that destroyed and froze Yesha communities.joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-4979033459945569232013-01-22T12:37:03.203+02:002013-01-22T12:37:03.203+02:00Elli: its half bad - not all bad :) someone else c...Elli: its half bad - not all bad :) someone else called me up this am about it as well.

However, you seem to have overlooked 3 good reasons for voting Habayit Hayehudi:<br /><br />1) Ehud Barak as Defense minister - Prospect of his continueing in this position is scary enough, but his initail appointment is enough to make me wary of Bibi. <br /><br />2) Likud's disgraceful smear campaign vs Habayit Hayehudi's dignified positive campain.<br /><br />3) A strong Bayit Hayehudi makes Bibi less prone to international pressure.Avrahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-6065634778713805382013-01-22T08:53:31.839+02:002013-01-22T08:53:31.839+02:00Interview with Aryeh Eldad<a href="http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/bad-boy/2013/01/20/" rel="nofollow">Interview with Aryeh Eldad</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Think Twicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-74654057057262490362013-01-22T08:29:20.322+02:002013-01-22T08:29:20.322+02:00Anonymous: why is otzma good for halacha?
