Bibi got off to a good start tonight by mentioning the threat posed by Iran and preserving Israel's economy. Those are the twin challenges Israel faces at a difficult time in the international environment. He was repeatedly interrupted by opposition MKs led by Labor bimbette Shelly Yechomovitch, which was disrespectful and rude - there is a time and place for disagreement but not during an inaugural ceremony. The Left revealed for Israelis its puerile infantilism and inability to accept that an incoming government has a viewpoint it does not agree with. No one says they have to agree but an opposition on its best behavior would have been a credit to Israel.
Of course the left cannot accept a viewpoint other than its own - that is their starting point.
However, one of the things they were yelling was counting the number of seats. 30 Ministers? Really? Not only is that a waste of taxpayer money, but it also inhibits the performance of Knesset committees, seeing as all the MKs will be doing nothing in their fancy new offices.

I have some hope, with Steinitz up there, and maybe Lieberman will stop Israel from acting like a victim when talking to the world. But Bibi is first and foremost a politician...
That was a poll taken by Haaretz so take it with a grain of salt. And I don't think Jameel at The Muqata buys it, but that's another story. Its quite fascinating that Kadima, a party without an ideology has now discovered principles. And they say Israeli politics are an exercise in suspended belief!
Heh
