I would be extremely, extremely surprised if Netenyahu lost

But didn't you hear, Sheldon Adelson, according to U.S. media has had enough with Netanyahu. Of course these stories are farces, so what is the real reason for this theatrical infighting between Zionists?

Maybe just to give the illusion of a functioning democracy, so the everyday people think they still have some degree of control over this thing. If Netanyahu loses and then also doesn't get appointed to some high position, I will be super surprised.

His opponent has numerous conenctions to the Chabad-Lubavitch cult, so if he loses, it doesn't really matter.

True, I'm sure they've got both sides of this thing. It's just that Netanyahu has been their golden boy for so long

Even more surprised if he was prosecuted for corruption, if he lost.
