Israel has lost patience after nearly 80 years of terrorism and attacks from neighbouring states.

They are getting nothing but abuse whatever they do and never see fair reporting about the behaviour of their opponents.

They may as well completely absorb Gaza and the West Bank and evict any who don’t like it.

Those Arabs who stay and give up on violence will then have much improved futures compared to that on offer from Hamas.

In my opinion.

There must be an election because the current government has completed its full statutory 4 year term. The first to complete a full term without early dissolution or collapse since 1988.

It's obviously a critical referendum on PM Netanyahu's leadership, security strategies and his handling of wars in Gaza, Lebanon and broader regional conflicts.

Will wait to see what the country decides.....

Mmmm those of you who believe that this will be a completely fair and democratic election may not get your way entirely.

Do you really believe Palestinians will really have better lives if Hamas are thrown out of Gaza and Israel simply allowed to take over all the remaining land they “kindly” allowed the Palestinians to keep?

I’m no supporter of Hamas but I’m afraid I don’t support what Netanyahu is doing either.

There is fault on both sides going right back to, and before, WW2.
