If Netanyahu wins, all pretences will be dropped. An all out offensive against the 'enemies of Israel' will commence and his extremist views will be revealed to the rest of the world.
The crisis that follows will hopefully be the catalyst that is needed to make the un-conditional supporters of Israel realise that the problems in the ME cannot be resolved by relentlessly supporting one party to the conflict to the exclusion of all others, inc. Hamas, Hizbullah, Syria and all others in the region.
Hopefully the disaster that will evolve from Netanyahus term will lead to a huge shift in understanding of whats actually going on in the region, and will lead to a major shift in international policy.
If Livni wins, she is going to have a bloody hard time forming a govt. that will be able to do anything useful. It will be the same ol', same ol', with the continuation of settlements being built illegally, one uprising after another and the illusion that Israel is actually interested in a peaceful 2 state solution.
I hope Netanyahu wins.
It will be messy, but to carry on as is, is a nightmare for all the people of the region who want to live their lives wiothout fear of imminent destruction.
