++By noon 26.5% of Israel had voted with a large turnout of Israeli Arabs. Bibi warned that the Zionist Union was busing Arabs to the polls--sound familiar to the GOP complaints in 2012?

The two state solution has been a consensus position in the United States,Israel and the international community. John Boehner had actually commented that Bibi would make bold steps in this area. Apparently not. It was one comment that further would isolate Israel in an election all the elite agreed meant that Israel would have to repair international relations.
