Well, if we follow this logic then we should be wondering about the demographics of the region indeed - not starting in 1800, though, but beginning in the 7th century CE. Correct? What have been the...

I think you should define what do you mean by religious parties. I'm taking the usual meaning within Israel, i.e. the Haredi parties.



Stuff like this, for example.

Indeed, non-religious parties are corrupt as well. But some of the stuff we've seen from the Haredi parties is just too much for my and the Israeli public's taste.

I said it tongue in cheek, but both interpretations are fine to me.

Religious parties have become so corrupt that maybe God would rather let seculars, if not atheists and agnostics, to rule for a...

It would be weird for a God to punish the religious parties and put secular parties in the government instead.

I hope it succeeds on its economic reforms. Some are sorely needed for Israel to be able to improve its competitiveness in the long term.

Indeed, the autosomal data is far from being easy to interpret, especially if you do PCAs of the patterns of SNPs. But using only Y-DNA and mt-DNA give us an incomplete picture too, given that they...

Those are interesting and valid points - the historical link between contemporary Ashkenazi Jews and Khazars is far from clear -, though I'm not really a fan of these gender-based genetic analyses...

I'm amazed at the misreporting of Elhaik's findings. Just in case you guys are curious, these are the hypotheses he's trying to test:

It's unusual we both agree.

Honestly, once Israel said it regrets the deaths of civilians, this became purely about face. These Turkish ads only reinforce this idea IMO.

Meh, honestly I don't see much of a difference between "regret" and "apology"

Chances are that his VP will remain in power, for a while at least. There should be an election in a month or so, not enough time for Chávez' memory to fade. Once this happens, the real test for the...

I actually think this is (or should be) more humiliating than being forced to leave the party.

If you remove communism, what's the difference between a Kibbutz and a Moshav?

Even you said this wasn't the case. At least not at the beginning of the war, in terms of military hardware.

I do agree though that the Haganah was in a position to defeat the Palestinian...

Looking at Wikipedia, it seems the Kibbutzim were always in crisis success stories notwithdtanding:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbutz_crisis

Does anyone have more information about this?

My understanding is that the Kibbutzim began to collapse during Israel's lost decade, i.e. before the fall of the USSR.

Under their plan, the IDF would stay in the West Bank.



Their website says they will publish a detailed plan in the future. I do find interesting, though, that there are settlers who do indeed...

If Yesh Atid isn't willing to join a coalition with Haredi parties, I wouldn't be surprised if Bibi was forced to form a coalition along with Yesh Atid, Hatnua, Kadima and either Labor or Habayit...

What kind of control is that in which the different factions and clans start shooting each other on the street? That's like saying the Lebanese Army controls all of Lebanon.

Anyway, it seems the...

Really? It definitely addresses the mistake of leaving territory so terrorists can take over.

It seems they haven't published a detailed plan yet, so we certainly cannot refute their claims...

I'd vote Labor as I think it's the most likely to be able to implement something like this.

I think that they don't even realize that they are being condescending towards the Third World in general. As such I think it's different from the explicit racism you can find in far-right circles.

That's only when it serves them, though. Many tend to overlook it when it comes to rocket attacks by Hamas against Israeli civilian targets by labeling them as resistance against Israel, as if the...

And how would Barghouti deal with Hamas' guns? That doesn't make much sense to me.
