Well, how can we not comment on Labor’s surprise move? The most nauseating part of this whole sham is Shimon Peres’ almost allergic reaction to leaving the government. Yoel Marcus’ commentary hits the mark. Although I am less than optimistic that Labor has the wherewithal to fashion itself into a true alternative. Meanwhile, things will get worse before they get better. Ex-chief-of-staff, and well known war crimin^H^H^H(oops, no inflammatory language allowed)hard liner, Shaul Mofaz is lined up to be the next Defense Minister. And - hold on to your hats - I just saw a headline in Yediot that the Foreign Ministry is being offered to Avigdor Lieberman! If I didn’t feel so bad for the enormous suffering the Israelis and Palestinians will face under this facist^H^H^H(my fingers keep on slipping) extreme right-wing new government, the absurdity of this government would be laughable.
