Sensible Centrism, Israeli Style

Israeli elections held today, exit polls show some interesting results.

The good news, the moderate Kadima party did better than expected in Israeli elections. The bad news, hard liners from the Likud party and the ultra-wingnut Yisrael Beiteinu party came in second and third, leaving the Labor party in the ditch. Kadima + Labor only three weeks) or it's going to be dominated by ultra-right wing nationalist nutbars wanting Israeli Arabs to sign loyalty oaths.

The irony of the government of the Jewish state appropriating facist tendencies is lost on most young Israelis.
