The Joint List of Arab parties is the third-largest party at this point, followed by Yesh Atid, Kulanu, Habayit Hayehudi, Shas, Yisrael Beiteinu, United Torah Judaism, Meretz and Yahad.

I'm getting quite the kick out of the misery of the scumbag Left this morning.

These vile, vicious a-holes are truly the enemies of Judeo Christian civilized security and individual freedom.   It's appalling how many putative "Jews" that infest the Left are wholly invested in the destruction of Israel and the obliteration of traditional American institutions and liberties.

You did know that Bibi's opponent, Herzog, had virtually identical policy positions about Iran nuclear expansion?

I think the left are in a funk, seeing Obama's power and influence wither, at home and abroad. They know the end of an era is coming sooner, and sooner.
