Just not Bibi

Thus does not sound like a sound campaign slogan or even a tactic.
Nonetheless it is the central theme in the campaign to defeat the present prime minister in Israel.
The hatred that is shown for Bibi is almost unprecedented and potentially very dangerous.
The Israeli's left frustration with its apparent inability to regain control of the government is mounting form month to month and year to year.
It is reaching a crescendo with upcoming elections.
Everything points to another right wing government that will teeter but will function for a few years.
The left will really flip this time and it is unclear how it will react.
As always some will plan to leave Israel permanently to the US or Europe and some will just try to figure out what went wrong again.
The real danger may lay in the motivation of left leaning extremists in trying to influence military service.
This will be mitigated by those who have volunteering even more of late and taking up the the slack.
As other regional issues seem to make headlines in the world the Israel Palestinian issue seems way down the list of issues on the world agenda.
Dash and Iran have done a big disservice to those issues.
Potential coalition partners will demand some kind of annexation of Judea and Samaria on this watch and it is unclaer how that will go over.
War in Gaza may happen again with Hizbullah and Iran in the mix.
Never a dull moment in the middle east.
Bibi will be best prepared to deal with these issues.
The left should think of another slogan.
This one is not working for now.
