The end of political correctness?

One of the nice things about having a Right wing government is that political correctness has a chance of going by the wayside.

Until Sunday, Israel Radio was referring to the 'proximity talks' that are rumored to be starting this week with the 'Palestinians' as sichot hakirva (which is how you would translate 'proximity talks' but also would translate as 'close talks'). On Monday, Israel Radio's 5:00 am news referred to the talks as sichot ha'akifot (indirect talks).

Substantively, that's far more accurate. And it never would have happened under a Leftist government.
