Above is a video (10 minutes at normal speed) that at least resembles the state of Israel before the elections as the religious organization it makes fun of.
Now, what about after the elections?
Despite all the efforts of the leftists of all stripes, we normal Jews in Israel actually didn't get what they wanted immediately, according to our Sabbatean-Frankist-Freemason-style governance. We may have got, instead, a government that would seem to be much more favorable to what HQB"H wants. Not the exact thing, mind you, but maybe a step or a few forward towards that goal. It would be more than has happened in the last 74 years. Some of us have grown old waiting for the process to unfold...
We can take hope from the idea that what HQB"H wants, HQB"H gets.
Eventually.
Remember that He is eternal and can wait for centuries and millennia for things to shape up, pushing them along ever so slowly while we come and go in the meantime.
I started this post right after the election in November. We're in the second week of December as I'm finishing up, and we don't have a government yet. People are anxious to get it done, already.
But haShem is still "like an ever-fresh cypress [tree], from Me shall your fruit be found. (Hoshea 14:9...full English and Hebrew.)
(I really seem to like the prophet Hoshea; where have I written about him before?)
It so happens that what HQB"H wants (and has worked patiently for thousands of years to achieve) is what most of us alive today have wanted for "only" decades, following many generations of our ancestors, spanning about two thousand (2,000) years. Many have already come and gone in this time period!
Until now, we just haven't counted in the eyes of our "leadership." They've done everything they can to prevent our election victories, even going so far as to devise fake petakim (the slips of paper we insert into the envelopes we received when we vote) that, when examined, are thrown out because they don't match the example on the sign exactly. It's what happened to Eli Yishai in 2015 when he ran with the then-new Yachad party. I know this because I voted for him then, and lost my vote! (Naturally, it seems there are no articles up on the net about it any more.)
I hope I haven't spoken too soon, even though more than a month has gone by since the election. The government still isn't officially formed yet, and that it will most likely be formed by former PM (and now currently the PM-designate) Binyamin Netanyahu isn't the reason for my hope.
The only reason for my question mark is that he may not be able to form the government despite his tremendous win, the best anyone's had in a really long time. It isn't the first time the right has won, but it may be the first time since Menachem Begin in 1977, then the leader of Likud, who won by a landslide and became the first "right-wing" prime minister. Even the left and center haven't had a large margin anywhere near that since then. (If you know the order of events more precisely, please comment!)
Let's be clear: The opportunity, here and now for us "normal" people, is to give H' the credit He has been due since the miracles of 1967 at the very least.
For one thing, here's an interesting interview on how some of the Israeli Right worked together.
And, with overwhelming victory, Netanyahu set to form strong, stable, legitimate right wing government...
IF that's what he really wants. Does he? Whether he actually does it or not is another question...the religious public, including everything from dati leumi (national religious) to haredi (the most religious parts of the population), has an unprecedented opportunity for the first time in modern Israeli history, and should be careful not to hand it all back to the seculars, who are now the MINORITY. We are capable of relearning how to run a country, we have the perfect sources at our fingertips, including lessons learned, and we MUST be at work on that now (actually, we should have been at work on it all along.). It seems, however, that Bibi might end up trying yet again to appeal to the left side of the aisle, even though the particular people he needs to appeal to appear have decided never to work with him, on his side, ever again (no, this is not a quote. I want to see how serious each side is, here. Like, all those west-coasters who in every 9th of Av poll say they want the Bet haMiqdash, where are they now?)

A commenter on a blog I follow has some good examples of how He has been speaking more openly to the Jewish People in the past few years concerning geula (used by permission, doesn't want to be identified):
- Hashem gave us two warnings - in 2018 for the US and 2020 for Europe, both attacks occurred on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the second one by the only shul in Vienna to survive WW2. It may be inconvenient, but these are the facts.
- The other giveaway is kanye WEST, he lifted the lid on the West's incorrigible antisemitism. It doesn't mean that everyone is, but that it is endemic. Imagine if that picture of those signs in LA was in reverse, i.e. Jews against blacks. All hell would have broken loose. But say what you like about Jews and we might merit one or two supportive tweets.
Israel's first corona czar was Simantov, then Gamzu
(letova) and third was Nachman Ash (haish sheli tukad ad biat
hamashiach, Rabi Nachman).
Hashem is talking to us.
- I just read many of the comments under a short clip about the
termination of Kanye West's partnership with Adidas, on
skynewsaustralia. Nearly all of them were supportive of him and highly
antisemitic. This man has more instagram etc followers than there are
Jews. He is also planning to run for president. He has been supported by
Trump, Candace Owen, the far right, blacks (not all of course). For
anyone about to poo poo the very idea, well it wouldn't be the first
time that a deranged political outsider changed the course of history.

On 5 December 2022, the MKs were written about as still arguing over whether right-wingers (the Israeli near-equivalent of conservatives in the US) have any right to run the country even if they are the majority! The Left has been accustomed to calling itself the arbiter of democracy since the starting-over of Israeli self-rule in 1948. Their predecessors had been running it since Jews started returning to the Land in the 1880s. And...
THIS MUST STOP. Better yet, MASHIAH MUST BE REVEALED, and a REAL JEWISH GOVERNMENT MUST RISE. It's only a matter of time.
After all, a system that is still discussed 2,000 years after it was last seen on earth is not to be designated as antiquated or worse. Rather, it is classic, something truly sustainable, that can keep going in peace forever and a day...if given the chance.
Here's MK Boaz Toporovsky (Yesh Atid), whose words demonstrate the utter lack of understanding of true democracy he and his fellow leftists continually display (emphases mine):
"We oppose the appointment of people whose views were correct two thousand years ago."
and
"We are seeing the appointment of people with anti-liberal views" ... "and we're not prepared to be a part of that. The appointment of deputy Speakers is designed to enable the passage of laws such as a law permitting [Shas head Aryeh] Deri to serve as a minister, or a law enabling [Religious Zionism head MK Bezalel] Smotrich to appoint generals in the IDF. We will fight for the rule of law and we will not help the political system to give people unbridled powers. We will do everything we can to prevent the destruction of Israeli democracy."
Oh, really? I would say they had already destroyed any semblance of real Israeli democracy, long ago (in human terms 😉, even before the rise of the modern state). Now that they're not the majority any more, officially, they ought to learn how to be a minority and not try to run things from the opposition.
As my fellow-blogger ex-American Esser Agaroth (2¢) spells it, Israel is really a deMOCKracy. Anyone who reads him and is fluent in English understands the double-entendre.

If the right doesn't win decisively, despite the vote, we need to call for a referendum (meesh'al 'am | משאל עם) on the political system in Israel, and all the systems that benefit from it.
If only the LEFT ("woke," anti-Israel, anti-Judaism, anti-freedom, anti-...anti-...anti-...) can win, it's a FIXED game, and that can also be spelled C-O-R-R-U-P-T. People in the elite organizations and government posts will go to jail...and that won't be the last of it, when H' gets HIS way.
And everybody who has ever said, "that murderer/thief/kidnapper/whatever ought to (fill in the blank with the most harsh punishments ever said, written or voice-recorded)" should be cheering.
Let's listen to haShem now and give Him the credit He deserves, while we still have a chance to be excited about it...and not get caught up in the shenanigans of an atheistic leadership that always takes credit not due them!
Alternately, if they won't take responsibility when things go badly for the country...
...where are the consequences?
Do we really have to put up with the same kind of state the video at the beginning describes (in English)? And how many individual national issues are there having to do with the questions only touched on above?
