Can it be that Israel might have a very very conservative government?  Likud - which in very simple terms is = to the US Republican party....somewhat conservative but really more right/center.  However there seems to be a newcomer to the show that might just make a very powerful showing in Israeli politics (Israel Beitenu).  This would be a very right oriented party that is almost hawkish in terms of defense issues.  They are polling about 20 seats so far Likud has about 30 seats and falling.  It could very well mean that Israel Beitenu might make a strong enough showing to develop a coalition and have the next Prime Minister - one who will stand up to Obama.  Interesting that Israel is trending right!!!!
