Make sure to take a look at Shmuel Rosner's list of winners and losers as a result of Ehud Barak's new Atzmaut party splitting from Labor and staying in the coalition.
WHy would he claim that Avigdor Liberman's behavior is childish? Because Mr. Liberman happes to speak the truth.It may be unusual for a diplomat but this just may be the right thing to do.
Ehud Barak is the last real heir to the Yitzhak Rabin wing of the Labor Party. He has no apparent successor and the wags in Israel say his new Azmaut party will probably disappear by the next election... if it hasn't been absorbed into the Likud before then.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
