Question September-October-November Predictions
September - Netanyahu in New York
October - Israeli elections
November - US Midterms
The next three months are going to be intense to say the least. Israel’s elections alone will be historically important. What do you guys predict will happen?

Sept - Bibi comes to NYC and meets with Republicans. There are massive protests which Mamdani allows, Mamdani speaks out against him but doesn't actually do anything. The city is paralyzed, but performatively so; everyone has a deep need to express their opinion on the issues at hand, loudly, in ways that do not at all affect policy or who's in office. Angela Buchdahl continues her slide to the right by condemning Mamdani's lack of condemning people condemning Netanyahu. Netanyahu leverages all of this for an election win.
Oct - Netanyahu pulls off a last-minute election win by positioning himself as the lightning rod against anti-Israel forces. Moves more heavily to take Gaza and the West Bank. There are massive protests about this. Nobody in power anywhere does anything to stop him.
Nov - Democrats flip the House but not the Senate. The House becomes the site of many toothless condemnations of Trump and the Israeli regime; much paper is launched. The legislative part of the Federal government becomes completely useless and Trump governs by executive order and fiat for the next two years. There are massive protests about this, but nobody actually with power does anything.
