There are many reasons why Israelis would tend to vote one way or another in the upcoming election - the Haredi draft (big one), judicial reform, traditional bread and butter economic issues, crime, Mizrachi/Sephardi/Ashkenazi divide etc.

Those issues aside, it should be noted that the electorate as a whole is broadly supportive of:

- The attacks against Iran
- The operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah
- The war against Hamas in Gaza
- Maintaining a military presence in the West Bank

Meanwhile, support for a 2-state solution is through the floor and this crosses both sets of voters.

The basic principle is this: Israelis are not going to accept terrorist groups building up on their borders anymore and they are not going to accept any type of imposed 2-state solution, at least until the Palestinians start acting responsibly, elect better leaders, and deradicalize their society.

So the big question of this next election will be about who do people trust on security. Netanyahu failed spectacularly on 10/7 and then followed it up with fairly successful operations in Lebanon and Iran. I think he gets a lot of credit for that.

I want Eisenkot to win personally because I don't want fascists in the cabinet. But if people think an Eisenkot government will be vastly different than Netanyahu as it relates to foreign policy and security I think they are fooling themselves.

You do understand that in the history of the world no one has ever bombed or conquered people into deradicalization?

What does "imposed 2 state solution" mean?

This was what Peel commission had in mind in 1937, it's what UN had in mind when they granted Israel it's statehood in 1947.

The only way that this doesn't end in complete subjugation and apartheid state for Palestinians (or worse) is for a 2 state solution to happen.

This has been the only realistic solution that is in any way, shape or form fair and gives Palestinians, a people living there for a very long time a way to actually have their own state, laws, self-governance, sovereignty and freedom.

It's the only way that Israel stops creating terrorists around itself, unfortunately, and you are right about that, Netaynahu and the Israeli right have made this impossible in the minds of Israeli people, by, among other things propping up Hamas as it is well documented.

So what you and them are actually saying is that there will be one state, it will encompass all of the Mandatory Palestine and whatever happens to Palestinians who don't like that, well, they had it coming.

That is pretty much being in support of, at the minimum ethnic clensing, through policies of apartheid, and if we are going to take the recent trends, a slow moving genocide.
