Five initial reactions to the ‘Bieberman’ charade

1.  Wow. The most powerful leaders in Israel’s Knesset really have no concept of being loyal or trustworthy to their voting constituencies, and are making a mockery of the democracy of which they so often boast.

 

2. This also reflects the majority of Israeli society itself – the fact that Netanyahu and Lieberman have the power to do this, that there is no alternative and that there is no one on the streets yet.

 

3. It is a loud and clear message to all lefties and relatively sane people to get the f–k outta here.

 

4. If I were a Palestinian I would be pissing my pants.

 

5. Ehud Barak is pissing his pants.
