@GlitchesUnleashed@freespeechextremist.com @georgia@spinster.xyz It's a pretty hefty article to be honest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian

@GlitchesUnleashed@freespeechextremist.com @georgia@spinster.xyz Yes. Judaism is a religion, and it's people comprise an ethnic and cultural group.

@georgia@spinster.xyz I'd also like them to ease off of Trump's shriveled dick. Dude is toxic as fuck.

@GlitchesUnleashed@freespeechextremist.com @georgia@spinster.xyz Yeah. I am, not religious, though.

@georgia@spinster.xyz Yeah, well, Bibi is a criminal and being in power too long is dangerous. .Bibi is proof of that.

The Nation State law is just idiotic as it is currently written, it completely throws every internal ally Israel has under the bus. The Druzi, the christians, the many secular and moderate Arabs

@lmorchard My cat wakes me up.

@georgia@spinster.xyz Anyways, Blue and White's stated aims:
* introducing prime ministerial term limits
*barring indicted politicians from serving in the Knesset
*amending the Nation-State Law to include Israeli minorities,
*investing in early education
*expanding health care
*re-entering negotiations with the Palestinian Authority for a peace agreement.

@dantheclamman Hopefully the Arab parties will have enough of a voice to be able to get some much needed help to the arab communities. That would be ideal, but I'm one of those Center-Left idiots who thinks a country should be for all it's citizens.

@dantheclamman Unfortunately, Join List is *VERY* unlikely to get into the coalition, but the 12ish or so seats they potentially have WILL give them more power in the opposition than they've ever had previously.

Liberman is a more likely partner, particularly as he and Gantz seem to agree a lot on security issues and both aren't particularly pro-Bibi

@georgia@spinster.xyz Zehut dropped out. The Green Party has never had a seat.

But, Blue and White really are the best choice for a VIABLE government led by apparently sane people.

Buy, yes, not having some zionism in the party is more or less inviting defeat. That being said, it's looking like the arab parties will have a not insignificant number of seats and that, in my opinion, is good. They'll be able to have a bit more power to help the arabs here.

@georgia@spinster.xyz No, Zionist Union doesn't exist any more. The Party is dissolved.

Blue and White are the Centerist party made up of three smaller parties: Israeli Resilience, Yesh Atid, and Telem.

They're all partially zionist, but WAY more liberal than the current government.

Other good news: Otzma Yehudit PROBABLY isn't going to be in the next government.

Now, Israeli exit polls are notoriously garbage.

So, we'll need to see the actual numbers.

On the edge of my seat to see if we got rid of Bibi.

Exit polls are showing no clear winner, with Likud having FEWER seats to Blue and White.

Hopefully Blue and White will be able to form a coalition, if these numbers are true.

The polls have officially closed.

Now I wait to see if Bibi's been booted out.

@Bri Gab is having some issues today, other gab users have reported that they are also having connection issues.
