Uri Avnery applies his sharp wit to the so-called “opposition” Labor party.
“As the chief of the largest parliamentary faction outside the governing coalition, Peres is entitled by law to be addressed as the ‘Leader of the Opposition.’ No title could suit him less. While Menachem Begin, for example, flourished in opposition and spent 29 happy years there, Peres wilts like a flower without water. He has no idea what to do. If he were offered a plan for opposition activities on a plate, he wouldnt know what to do with it.”
