Some of the reports about the election say that the Kulanu Party has an advert featuring a flatulent hippopotamus and a fish climbing a tree. I can't find it on Youtube. Any links where it is? That's disappointingly tame. I was hoping it would include something more like this: |

I don't think this quiz was entirely disinterested. I got - Your Result: Blue and White You believe in uniting as much of the centre of the political spectrum in an attempt to oust Netanyahu. While you may think Netanyahu was a good Prime Minister for some of his time in power, you are convinced that a change is needed (1). You are likely to be in favour of negotiations with the Palestinians, although you may doubt there is a partner on the other side and may believe that this should only be conducted by a government fully aware of the threats and dangers to Israel’s security. Economically you will be centrist, believing in a mixture of free markets and social spending. (2) You are enthused by the prospect of having three former IDF chiefs of staff at the helm (3). You are a passionate Zionist (4). As you are a Zionist, why don't you sign up to the We Believe in Israel mailing list www.webelieveinisrael.org.uk/join(1). No idea where that came from.
(2). I said I was economically liberal (given a binary choice).
(3) Eh? See (1).
(4) I'm bloody not, and said I wasn't! |

Bizarre. It asked me questions, and then regurgitated my answers in a scrambled and distorted form, mixed up with other stuff I didn't say. It would have been better to ask me questions, let me answer them, and then tell me what my answers were. I have no idea who the three IDF people are, about whom I am supposedly enthusiastic. Oh, and I got Blue and White, as if that means anything. |

I also got Blue & White. Clearly what @goodoldcause2 posted is the standard for people who got that party, as much of it is bollocks for me too.

It is obviously a Blue and White poll, designed to tell everyone who takes it that Blue and White is the choice for them. Sounds very Lib Dem, actually!  |

Despite my avatar I got Likud.
You are to the right of centre on the Israeli political spectrum. Economically you are a believer in capitalism, emphasising a free market agenda with the promotion of free trade, tax reform, privatisation and fiscally conservative government spending. But you recognise the importance of spending on social welfare, to ensure a safety net. You are likely a supporter of the Prime Minister, believing that under his leadership Israel is a safer, more internationally respected, and more economically prosperous country. Although you may be thinking about Netanyahu’s successor, you support his victory in April. You’re not completely closed-off to some sort of deal with the Palestinians, but you have several conditions; including a demilitarised state, the annexation of some settlements, no Palestinian capital in Jerusalem, stopping incitement and the recognition of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. You certainly do not believe negotiations are feasible under the current Palestinian leadership. You wholeheartedly support the Nation-State Bill. You are a passionate Zionist. As you are a Zionist, why don't you sign up to the We Believe in Israel mailing list

I was slightly surprised to get Labour.
You are on the centre-left of the Israeli political spectrum. You care about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and believe Israel needs to separate from the Palestinians even while being sceptical a peace agreement can be achieved. you promote pragmatic foreign policy abroad and social democratic economic policy at home, although you are more sympathetic to capitalism than those further to the left. You care deeply about security, placing a strong emphasis on this factor in potential negotiations. You may recognise some of Netanyahu’s achievements, but you are convinced he now needs to stand down. You are a proud Zionist, as a supporter of the party which was instrumental in the founding and building of the State of Israel. As you are a Zionist, why don't you sign up to the We Believe in Israel mailing list?
The bits in bold are the most inaccurate parts. I specifically said I was indifferent on the question of Zionism (especially since I'm neither Jewish nor Israeli), and the question on the two-state solution didn't seem to allow for the ultra-optimistic and idealistic option of a one-state soluton.
