The former empire was pretty much in free-fall well before WW1, Nietzche.
I really don't think it would've suffered as drastic a collapse without losing WW1. Had it sat out the war, or been on the winning side, it's possible, even probable, that the Sublime Porte would've been able to crush the Wahhabies and Nationalists in their cribs. After all, Arab Nationalism only really got traction due to French & British aid.
Dire times ahead for Israel and the Middle East, then.
Dire times ahead for the whole planet and everyone on it.
In case no one has noticed the flippin' world has gone insane.
Because doing everything that a country who, by every right, should be OUR finger-puppet is the epitome of good leadership. Heaven forbid someone decide to do anything but support every stupid decision made in Tel Aviv.My only real concern is that Obama snubs Bibi yet again.
Obama. Such a well respected and strong leader.
Yeah, no
Which is all the more reason to hope against the election of a flameraiser like Netanyahu.

You are judging middle east with a western mentality, no wonder every western policy in the middle east failed. Israelis elected right wing gov't exactly because the Middle East is hitting up again. In situations like this you are supposed to elect a leader who will have the b...s to take action. No olive branch has ever stopped a bullet. Israelis will elect liberals when middle east will make peace but until than, when middle east thanks to western policies have radical groups gaining power everywhere, only a suicide idiot would elect leftists.

Islamist taking about peace is an oxymoron in it self.

All arabs should be expelled from Israel, all they do is just kill people, not one arab country has succeeded in building a normal state and arabs living in Israel no better. They are only capable of killing people and blaming it on others.
Common delete my post but every word I said is truth and you can't change that. Facts speak for them self's.

Really depends how you define "winning".
Right wing parties:
2013 - Likud + Yisrael Beiteinu + Habayit Hayehudi = 43 seats
2015 - Likud + Yisrael Beiteinu + Habayit Hayehudi = 44 seats
Left wing parties:
2013 - Labour + Meretz + Hatnuah = 27 seats
2013 - Labour + Hatnuah + Meretz = 28 seats
Religious Parties:
2013 - Shas + UTJ = 18 seats
2015 - Shas + UTJ = 13 seats
Centre Parties:
2013 - Yesh Atid = 21 seats
2015 - Yesh Atid + Kulanu = 21 seats
Arab parties:
2013 - Hadash + Balad + UAL = 11 seats
2015 - Joint List = 14 seats
Someone's mad that the Kahane scum didn't make it into the Knesset.

I'm with you, CMike. And when I got home tonight, I find out it wasn't really even close. I think CAIR was running some of those phony polls showing Bibi "behind". Lol!
The thing about it is, Bibi is ready and CAN work with others globally and in the region, and at a time everyone doesn't want to even drink a beer with the boob Obama except Iran Mullahs who see him as a sucker and sap. Others, including Dems do not even want to be in a photo with O because any association with Obama means you are going to lose an election... But the joke is, even the Mullahs won't drink a beer with him because there is one thing me and the Mullahs share and that is we are teetotalers. Frankly, I would rather have a cup of tea with one of the Ayatollahs than Obama, it wouldn't surprise me we would hit it off and come to so better solution than Obama could ever pull off.
So I am really going to get into Israel more, perhaps a vacation there.
By the way a lot of the problems in the ME go back to WW1. But that is a long story.

Hey Luis,
My hope is that further war in the ME is avoided. I'm not at all convinced that Netanyahu winning increases the chance of war. I don't think there is any compromise the Arabs will stick to, so I think a strong stance is the best hope.
Sorry to be blunt, Icehorse, but a "strong" stance by that measure is basically asking for doom.
