What time tomorrow (EDT) will we know the results of the Israeli elections?

After seeing Netanyahou shamelessly use the floor of the US Capitol (and the Republican fools that kissed his ass) as a backdrop for his campaign, I want to see him go down to defeat more than ever.

He needs something to really wail about........

Israel has a complicated parliamentary system. Even if Netanyahu does not get the most votes, the winner may not be able to form a coalition from among all the center-left to left parties to form a government. The right has, sadly, become very strong there. Probably a bunch of center-right factions would have to join in a coalition to let Labor/ZC actually rule.

I'm actually glad we don't have a parliamentary system (I think).
