The Evolving Jew

With everything that's going on, it seemed inappropriate for the top post on my blog to have been about the Israeli election results (and that post was out-of-date anyway). Like everyone else, we are surviving, dealing with the challenge that everyone has right now, of having the kids home from preschool 24/7. But thank G-d we are healthy. May Hashem heal all who are sick and may this pass swiftly.

I'm deeply disappointed by yesterday's election results. I'm not a fan of Netanyahu (to put it mildly) nor of the right wing in Israel. But the people have spoken. There have been enough elections already. Some party or faction on the center or left should just swallow their pride and join a coalition led by Bibi. Israel needs a functioning government and maybe a center-left element might moderate it slightly. Enough elections. Update Mar 8: The above was written when it looked like the right-wing bloc had 60 seats. With only 58, it's anyone's guess what will be.
