Likud primaries are going on right now, with results expected shortly (11:00pm Israel time is... let's see... carry the one - should be in about two hours). So you can come back in two hours, or you can not care at all since Bibi is obviously going to win. His camp says that they're not sure yet because of the low voter turnout, but come on:

When reached for comment, Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly surprised to learn that he was not - as he had previously assumed - "Jewish". Now Feiglin would say that he means "actually really really super Jewish". Which is a kind of weird to us, because we had always assumed that a man of Feiglin's delicate theological sophistication would treat "being Jewish" as kind of a binary "you are or your aren't" thing. Like the rest of the universe does.

Anyway, Likud primary voters aren't stupid enough to choose a scary hardliner who is unelectable when they can choose a slightly less scary hardliner who is marginally electable. We think.
