After meeting, Eisenkot, Liberman express confidence in ability to form stable government

 Netanyahu coalition (53 seats) is (party and seat count):

• Likud 27
• United Torah 7
• Jewish Power 7 
• Shas 6 
• Religious Zionism 6

Eisenkot coalition (48 seats) is (party and seat count):

• Yashar 21
• Beyachad 12
• The Democrats 8 
• Yisrael Beytenu 7 

Arab Parties coalition (19 seats) is (party and seats) 

• Joint List 11
• United Arab List 8  

(As you can see, Eisenkot would need both Arab parties to clear the 60 seat threshold to take power and replace Netanyahu but he wont do it for his own Zionist reasoning and now due to the position Liberman is taking. They will be looking to sway United Torah and any one of the other rabid Zionist entities to join their coalition instead promising them God knows what in order to get them onboard. Simultaneously Netanyahu is talking with those members of his coalition making similar promises and deals for them to stand firm knowing he only has 6 weeks to wait before he can approach Beyachad or the Democrats to come to his Likud led coalition... and he remains in power 4 more years.

Either way... the occupation continues... the Greater Israel expansionist plan continues... the war on Iran continues... and the hateful Zionist supremacist ideology continues in Israel.

In spite of the vote for change.)  

from Times of Israel

The Yashar party says party leader Gadi Eisenkot and Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman met earlier today for what it describes as a “constructive and productive discussion,” amid disagreements over the formation of Israel’s next government.

“Both expressed full confidence in their ability to form a stable government for a full four-year term,” Yashar says in a statement following the meeting.

The talks come amid tensions between the two leaders over Eisenkot’s coalition-building options, with Liberman ruling out a minority government or one reliant on Arab-led parties while signaling a willingness to negotiate with ultra-Orthodox factions. The statement does not indicate whether the two have resolved their differences or reached any concrete agreements.

James Talarico traces all of this back to the Lewis Powell Memo

by Scott Creighton

I have been talking about the Lewis Powell Memo of 1971 since 2010 and before. Interesting to see Talarico give it some airtime.

“In fact, you can, you can pinpoint this one document called the Powell memo, 1971.” “But if you read this memo, it's basically a blueprint for how corporate interests can start to dismantle the Great Society and the New Deal” “They're going to spend massive amounts of money in our politics, buying politicians in both parties, elevate corporate voices in media, appoint sympathetic judges.” “And that has really been the story of the last 50 years in this country, last five decades.” James Talarico

US and Israeli Election Post Mortem: If Voting Mattered They Wouldn't Let Us Do It

In Israel Eisenkot has 6 weeks to formulate his majority government thanks to the Arab parties being considered part of the opposition that won... so Eisenkot is going to IGNORE THEM and appeal to the Nazis in the Likud coalition. In America we THINK we saw a massive sea change in D.C. and across the country... but Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are pure neoliberal centrist Dems who love them some Israel... so what CHANGE is that going to be? DEI coming back? Defund ICE and open borders? Is any of that change?

Trump Says He May Have To ‘Destroy the Rest of the Country’ of Iran in Latest Threat

from AntiWar

President Trump said on Thursday that he may have to “destroy the rest of the country” of Iran as he continues to make threats against the Islamic Republic following the Republican Party’s major defeat in the midterm elections, which was seen as a referendum on the war.

“Now we’ll make a decision: Do we want to go further and just certify it, by certifying it meaning it will never happen again?” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “I would rather not destroy the rest of the country, if possible, but maybe I’ll have to. And you’ll know soon enough.”

The threat came after the US president and Vice President JD Vance said that the war was a major factor in the midterm results, but Trump has continued to defend his decision to launch the war. Reuters cited two unnamed sources on Thursday who told the outlet that the president is still planning to restart the bombing campaign against Iran despite the acknowledgment...

PM, Mossad chief planned Iran op just before Israeli election; it was thwarted after US was accidentally tipped off

from Times of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his loyalist Mossad chief Roman Gofman sought to conduct an operation against Iran in the days immediately preceding Israel’s October 27 election, according to an Israeli television report on Friday.

The unsourced, unconfirmed Channel 12 news report claimed the operation was not backed by other senior officials in the Israeli security establishment, who were concerned that it could spark a major escalation and prevent the election from taking place as scheduled.

Plans for the unspecified operation moved ahead, nonetheless. But ultimately, an Israeli security operative “acted rashly” in a way that led to the US learning about the planning for the operation, and Washington immediately moved to quash it, the TV network said. It noted that it was broadcasting the report under the limitations of military censorship...

Midterms Were ‘Vote of No Confidence’ in GOP, But Iran Has No Illusions About Democrats - Marandi

from Sputnik News

Tuesday’s crushing midterm defeat for Republicans was a “good sign” showing “that the American people are pushing the elites” and “putting pressure on them,” but the Democrats’ victory won’t bring positive changes to US foreign policy, Tehran University professor and prolific political commentator Mohammad Marandi has told Sputnik.

 

“The Democratic Party is not a party of peace,” Marandi emphasized, pointing out that Democrats were in charge when Israel unleashed its bloody campaign in Gaza in 2023, and initiated or greenlit the bombings, dirty wars and proxy conflicts in Libya, Syria and Yemen, as well as the crisis in Ukraine.

 

As far as Iran is concerned, the change of power in Congress “doesn’t mean the war is over.” The US “may attack Iran at any time. But it does mean that the regime in Washington, the political establishment in Washington, recognizes that the American people are sick and tired of war,” Marandi said...

France deploys 70,000 police ahead of nationwide strike, marches

from al Mayadeen English

France will deploy 70,000 police officers and security forces on Thursday, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez announced, promising “an extremely firm response” to any “acts of violence” or disorder as unions strike and students march in what authorities expect to be one of the country’s largest days of protest in years.

Authorities estimate that 500,000 to 700,000 people will take part nationwide, including as many as 80,000 in Paris. CFDT leader Marylise Léon predicted “a strong mobilization,” with a turnout comparable to the 2023 pension reform protests, which drew more than one million people.

Education unions in the public and private sectors have called for strikes, as have unions representing rail workers, public hospital staff and postal workers. The national rail operator SNCF warned of disruption on regional lines and parts of the greater Paris area, and dockers said ports would be affected.

The education ministry expects almost 18% of nursery and primary school teachers to strike, and unions say secondary teachers will join them...
