The genocidal ministers from Nethyanahu's goverment actually got more votes this election then the last one:
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/elections/2026-10-30/ty-article/.premium/ben-gvir-and-smotrich-split-the-right-and-lose-seats-in-the-process/000001a1-8bda-d54e-a5e1-9bde05e60000
They did, however, lost seats due to the turnout, but, for anyone saying that these guys aren't representing Israel at large, well, the guys calling for genocide, war crimes, killing kids, ethnically clensing gaza and much more definitely weren't really punished for it.
Nethyanahu, as any self respecting right wing piece of shit is calling the elections illegitimate, while his main opponent refuses to work with the Arab parties because, well, they are Arab and would require moderating on his part.
So yeah, Brazilians realized Bolsonaro is a piece of shit, Serbs kicked Vučić out, Hungarians got rid of Orban but Israelis seem to be only mildly dissapointed in the guys who resided over the worse terror attack in their history, responded to it poorly and refuse investigations because those guys compensated by attacking 3 new countries and leveling Gaza, so, even steven I guess.

normally, i don't talk about middle east politics. However, recent developments in the sport of Professional Wrestling have forced me to provide my deep insights as the #1 rasslin' fan on this forum board.
Both the Saudi government and TKO are promoting the "WWE Crown Jewel" event that was to take place in an outdoor stadium with a capacity of 25,000 people. It has since been moved to an 8,000 seat INDOOR venue. There is a tonne of marketing fluff around this story trying to distract from what is really going on.
#1. The Saudi government does not want live coverage of a missile being shot down in the sky during a live sports event.
#2. People are cancelling their tickets and no where near 25,000 are sold.
The WWE, TKO, et al are distracting from these 2 realities with their BS PR speak. Missiles are getting shot down daily , debris is flying every where. That is a big problem in an open air stadium. They don't seem to want to talk about that. A big US based company and the Saudi government are big targets for the Houthis. Can you imagine a missile hitting the stadium during the event?  Keep in mind this is a company, under Vince Mcmahon, they did not cancel a single match or a single event when Owen Hart died in the ring after taking a 100 foot fall.
It is hilarious how much the WWE babies its performers compared to how it was when Vince Mcmahon ran the company. However, I don't think Vince ever put them in a war zone. LOL.
I want to see exactly how many real live people are actually sitting in the seats for the event. I think we're in for some bizarre camera angles for this event.
There is a boxing match tonight in that same venue. "Canelo" Alvarez v. Christian Mbilli. Tickets are dirt cheap and they are dirt cheap on the secondary market as well. 10th row seats for an Alvarez fight are normally ~$5000 and tonight they are $100 on the secondary market. So those $100 tickets are not subsidized that is their actual street value.
Health Insurance rates and life insurance rates for all these people performing in Riyadh are probably 10s of millions of dollars. The insurance companies are making a killing.
This is an absolute financial blood bath for the Saudis.
The Houthis must be laughing their asses off watching this go down. I thought Drumpf destroyed the Iranian civilization and all their allies 5 times over?
