My father told me yesterday that Tsipi Livni had told Peres two days beforehand that she won't succumb to Shas's blackmail. Hurrah! At least these idiots won't gain responsibility over the education (and turn Israel into a Jewish inquisition state). However, she also said she can't assemble a coalition, and now Israel has to go to an election again.
Which means Israel has a chance to choose between the demagogue from the Likud, the fucktard from Shas, the schmuck who won't stop making chaos in the government from the Israeli Labour Party, and the impotent woman from the corrupt and incompetent Kadima. Whoopedoo! Israel: you're doing it wrong.
I just wish people would finally wake up and bring Shinui back. They had to succumb to the religious (it was so they could support the Disengagement Plan, which wasn't the wisest of Sharon's ideas, not out of hypocrisy, but still), but usually they fought well against them. They, not the Palestinians (which are well-restrained), are Israel's biggest threat nowadays.
Ceterum censeo Meam She'arim Benem-Barakque esse delendas.
