Israeli Elections

"If We Don't Win Big, We've Lost"

Radio personality Eyal Berkowitz says he expects a decisive victory for the opposition bloc in Israel's upcoming election: When I see these small gaps in the polls, it feels like a loss to me

Radio hosts Eyal Berkowitz and Aral Segal called on the Supreme Court during their broadcast on Radio 103FM to approve the disqualification of Knesset members Ofer Kasif and Ahmad Abu Shahada. Berkowitz also said he expects a crushing victory for the opposition change bloc in the upcoming election.

"The Supreme Court would be idiotic if it saves Abu Shahada and Kasif," Berkowitz criticized. "Let's sit down, you and I, and do judicial reform."

Berkowitz went further, stating: "If the change bloc doesn't win easily, as far as I'm concerned it's like losing the election. When I see these small gaps in the polls, it feels like a loss to me. If the people still don't understand that change is needed, then as far as I'm concerned, all the messages I've conveyed have been a failure. Either the people are stupid or I'm stupid."

Berkowitz's remarks came in response to recent polls published yesterday showing the change bloc with approximately 54 seats and the current coalition with 50 seats — meaning once again neither bloc has a majority.
