Although without a direct stake, I feel concerned and qualified to some suggestions by the quality of my argumentation and the value of an external viewpoint. Although claiming a loyalty oath, Lieberman`s politics are largely disloyal to the core values of Israel, her founders and her religion. With 15 seats, a lot of noise and `disruption` hasn`t produced a big deal. It is difficult to understand the hang-on, either Kadima`s or Likud`s. Even with disappointing results, both Labor, Shas or other religious parties are much closer to Israel`s substance. Especially for Ms. Livni, from abroad, it is difficult to believe eyes, ears and empathy. Especially because the message of Lieberman`s electorate contributes not numerically but anyway morally to Likud`s positions.
