Just like Trump, the only way he can win is by cheating and depriving people of their votes.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly warned on Tuesday of what he claimed was unusually high voter turnout in Arab communities, accusing Arab voters and left-wing parties of trying to "steal the election."
In a series of social media posts, Netanyahu shared photos of Arab citizens casting their ballots alongside images of supposedly empty polling stations in cities considered Likud strongholds.
"Steal" the election by going out to vote while your voters stay home. He explained in text with supporting imagery how this wasn't fake votes for his opponents or discarded votes from his supporters, but calls it stealing nevertheless.
Also, I don't know what Israel's voting situation is like, but crowded polling places in minority areas and empty (i.e., fast and convenient) polling places in majority areas sounds like the intended results of voter suppression efforts.
pretty much how places like texas and florida does it with the voter suppression.
There have been countless reports of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship being asked arbitrary questions, being held up for hours from voting, or the voting locations randomly shutting down for no reason.
And yet they increased their parties' number of Knesset seats significantly.
The right has become way too comfortable with the idea that they're the only legitimate side to govern any country. It's "stealing" because it's "rightfully theirs", and any attempt to take that power, however legitimate, is an affront, an offence.
It's the same horseshit that comes out of Trump's blubbery mouth.
conservatives do not respond well to change thats why, they can only survive in stable enviroment.
It isn't about right vs left in Israel. This is about apartheid and racism because those "pesky Arabs" shouldn't even be allowed to vote. They even tried to make Arab/Palestinian parties illegal and ineligible to run for elections. That's a good chunk of the rhetoric in israel.
This guy is such a piece of fucking shit, I hope he ends in prison. Even then though, I bet he gets cushy treatment. He should be thrown to the fucking sharks.
NOT allowing a Large Population to have Representation is NOT Apartheid and if you Even THINK it Is your ANTI SEMETIC!
-The BBC!
My anti semetic what
Anti salmon, get it right.
I'm more anti-emetic. I don't like vomiting.
isnt most of israel jewish. benny is the most antisemetic jew out there
I think Israel's population is about 20% Arabic outside the Palestinian territories. If you choose to count Palestinian territories then it's about 50%.
Watch them pull a trump and not honor the election results.
Netanyahu might go but the worse president will come
I will be astounded if he loses. But even if he does, will he leave office?
also the other parties are more right wing than he is.
It's hard to view Israeli politics from a western perspective
Most other parties have much softer stances on the West Bank, for example
None of the likely future PMs have a substantially different policy on Gaza
There is a bit of variety of opinions of Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, although most plan to annex them eventually
He will lose, he can't hold it together, not after 10/7 and his failure to be the law and order prime minister.
The new government will be even worse though from what I hear.
The opposite is true and I"ve been saying it since 10/8. I've been right so far. His coalition could already have failed if I was wrong. I believe I will continue to be right.
He already did. He lost in 2021 and stepped down. He'll likely step down again.
Probably. My read is that Israel has one more electoral cycle in it, maybe two, before the the fascism completely overwhelms their democracy, but for now I don't think Netanyahu has the public support necessary to pull of a violent takeover. It'd be a different story if the pro-genocide bloc (aka most of the Jewish population) felt genuinely threatened, but Netanyahu's two most likely successors are both firmly pro-genocide so it's basically just Netanyahu's political fortunes and how fast the West Bank gets ethnically cleansed at stake.
Fascists hate democracy.
Can we make it three for three?
