If Eisenkot gets in there will be more of a diplomatic approach to ending the war both in Gaza and Iran but he doesn't favour a two state solution either, so I'm not sure where that leaves the Palestinians.

Propaganda must be working overtime then Cossy because as as well as what's happening on the West Bank, there's also the genocide being committed in Gaza.

How can the displacement at best, murder at worse of Palestinians living on the West Bank be an attractive proposition to many Israelis?

You’d be surprised how people can turn a blind eye.

There also needs to be a full and proper investigation into allegations of corruption.

That won't happen if Netanyahu retains power.

I have a depressing feeling that he is going to win. His promise of expansion into West Bank is an attractive proposition to many Israelis.

I fear you are right. We have family in Israel and they hate Netanyahu but a lot of Israelis live in a bubble created by the government where they are fed by fear and hatred. Sadly I think they will feel they have no choice at the ballot.

The polls are saying it's going to be a very tight election but I am hoping that Netanyahu loses and there is a proper, full investigation into what the Israeli government knew prior to 7/10. It seems that a lot of Israelis also want to know. The clip below is very short.
