"How do you report ballot stuffing?"

I posted this on Shiloh Musings a couple of days ago. Considering the subject, I was certain that it would make a splash, but it has been ignored. Now it's one thing if this was based on hearsay, but it isn't. I've heard the same stories from two people, first-person accounts.

I thought the driver was going to lose control of the car. A voice from the backseat had piped up with the question. It was a big, crowded van, and I couldn't even see who was talking.

 Apparently, someone who had taken the call of Likud to supervise voting stations in Arab towns was troubled by the experience. There was obvious cheating by people with "non-standard" and multiple Identity Cards. The person talking was even offered a "tit for tat."

"Let's go 50-50, your party and mine."

The organizers of this operation didn't think it through. It ended up being more a smokescreen to protect the cheating. Only one person was sent to each location, and most of the police were Arabs. It was made clear that "cooperation" was pikuach nefesh, life preserving. Even worse, there was no post-election debriefing. A debriefing should have enabled the workers to report violations and help with all the bureaucracy and subsequent follow-up. For me this was deja vu, having heard a similar story about the previous Israeli Elections.

People should be suspicious about the results of the polls in the Arab towns and cities. During Election Day the media kept reporting the quiet, how few people were seen going into vote. But when the results were counted, the percentage was surprisingly high. The media can't imagine why. Can you?

If The "Best Defense Is Offense," Where Are We?

IMRA reports that this poster was banned by the University of Ottawa. Very nice, but what are we doing to promote the true situation here in Israel? At the recent Jerusalem Conference I attended a session which showed us how sophisticated and professionally the Arabs are using the media to promote their lies. We just don't rate in comparison.

I'm just a blogger. I'm not a graphic artist. I'm an amateur in the media world. Our hasbara, information campaign must be moved up a hundred notches.

End of the Suspense, Sort Of

Does This Make You Feel Better?

It’s Final: Peres Entrusts Netanyahu with Forming a Government
And we also must pray that G-d will gift our political leaders with wisdom.

Honestly, I don't. I don't want Bibi as Centrist.

I don't want Left nor Center as Israeli Prime Minister. I don't want the incompetent opportunists in Kadima either.

I wish that the National Union had gotten lots more seats, so that Bibi would really need them. As is Moledet's Uri Bank just missed getting in. Ketzeleh campaigned well, but will he be effective as an MK?

Ketzeleh signed an agreement that if he's a minister he'd resign from the Knesset to give Bank the seat. That would be great, because it would increase the power of Ichud Le'umi.

It's minutes to Shabbat.

We must pray for rain.

And we also must pray that G-d will gift our political leaders with wisdom.
