Israel election: Netanyahu faces Gadi Eisenkot on Oct 27
Israel likely to get new leadership this Tuesday. Who is Gadi Eisenkot? What does this mean going forward? Bill Maher humiliates himself. The election tightens up. Let's talk about it on Coffee With Texas Paul! We go live at 11 am Eastern!

💔8Maher is so tired. I liked the guy 15 years ago, but I canceled HBO 10 years ago and never looked back. He's not funny or interesting. Put a fork in him
Valerie 🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇦7I worry if Netanyahu loses he won’t leave. He will pull a Jan. 6 & will have the military behind him.
Jedi Tanker 🐸📎🚫👑 🇺🇲🤙🏽🇵🇭🇵🇹5Do they use voting machines or starlink?
Shash of the Grove ⚧️ Hippie Chick4The Texas Paul approach to talking to farmers is so refreshing. Agree 200% Thank you for leading that way.
roadrunner63.bsky.social4From Simon Rosenberg at Hopium Chronicles:
In about 24 hours, poles will open here in Israel. In what is a strong contender for Israel’s most critical elections. The election pits Netanyahu’s extremely unpopular coalition against a non-coherent, but moderately more liberal, opposition. Here are some thoughts as we head into it.
Avishay BSG (Ben-Sasson-Gordis)34I’ll start with the players and the likely outcome, move to some themes of the last few days of the campaign, and finish on some thoughts about Israel’s challenges and how the elections might impact them.

Ken Burnside6A toast: To the eternal frustration of Fascists.
Geoffrey Hughes4This Israeli elections explainer is a real public service. Here's what I think is the crux of it to entice you to read the whole thing...
Dr Craig Buchanan FSAScot3A thread worth reading if, like me, the labyrinthine complexities of Israeli politics leave you scratching your head 👇🏻
Pete Miles2An explainer 🧵 on the (complicated) voting situation and process in Israel.
Simon Frankel Pratt2Good thread plus it has an entertaining typo in first sentence.
Important to recognize that this is a common view in Israel; one increasingly held by younger Israelis, who are turning further hard right, like the rest of that society. Western politicians advocating a two-State solution should note that no candidate in the coming election is talking about it.
Simon Rosenberg5Useful background here on the state of israeli politics. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
polqat3Hope Jess Wilson is watching. Will she ban the slogan “carpet bomb them all”
Candy Apple Grey2"kill them all, I don't care" "we should take the land because god said it is ours" tell me again how religion isn't brainwashing the kids, ffs "god said"? umm, hello? I really can't believe the human race has never moved on from mythical non-existent sky creations that are forever invisible...
Random Sarah2‘God’ is not a defence for mass murder like they seem to believe it is. Their bible has no legal standing in the real world. Fuck the genocide cheerleader Nazis.
Harvey1Probably also important to note that Albo would love to do to us what Bibi is doing to them. He just don't have the numbers yet.
Israeli opposition leaders are condemning Netanyahu’s post as election fearmongering. Gadi Eisenkot, Yashar party leader, accused him of using lies and scare tactics to frighten voters. Netanyahu previously claimed Iran’s nuclear program had been destroyed. Now he’s warning of nuclear annihilation
Ray Oday - I live where my real name would have me disappeared4Is that it? Scare tactics and AI? Jail the bastard.
LandandSky 🌍🌊🌳3If he launches any strike on Iran... they promised him that is exactly what could happen (minus the nuke part) so Israeli's would actually be SAFER if he was not re-elected! Nice Self Own there!
p3"Unhinged"? Where have I heard that word before? He and tRump are not worth the powder to blow them to Hell. And they can take Putin with them when they finally go.
Kitchie 🇨🇦 🍁North of the Wall🍁 💙💛🦒 she/her1Iran isn't going to nuke the country next door to themselves even if they had nukes to do it with. No one is that stupid. Israel has nukes. They aren't nuking Iran.
