Moshe Feiglin, the Zionist national candidate trying to bring Likud back to the right again, was crushed by the corrupt, leftist machine of Benyamin Netanyahu.Not unlike what happened to Meir Kahane 20 years ago, who was then banned from Knesset by leftists who invented rules as they went along to protect their power, Feiglin was repositioned by Bibi's committee insiders from his democratically elected 20th spot on the Likud knesset list to 36th position, making it effectively impossible for him to gain a seat in the Knesset.
I have been telling everyone who will listen for years that Netanyahu is indistinguishable from Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert. He is deeply and unrepentantly corrupt, will continue the Olmert policies of unconditional surrender to the arabs, and will continue waging war against the Zionists as Israel's cities are burned to the ground. Drinking champagne with international dignitaries, having elicit sexual affairs with debutantes, and accumulating wealth and power, are the only things Netayahu actually cares for and loves.
Israel is but a stage prop to Bibi, his means to his ends, and nothing more. As far as he's concerned, the Jews can just eat cake as the arabs drive them into the sea. So long as he's rich, powerful, on the celebrity "A-list", and getting sexually serviced by all the right women, the rest is irrelevant.
Remember, he was run out of office once before for corruption, philandering, and selling out to Afafat despite claiming at the time to be the "nationalist" leader in the wake of the Oslo disaster. He even went so far as to hand over the holy city of Hebron to the PLO as a "good will gesture" to try and gain international favor.
Yawn...nothing changes. Moshe Feiglin, a wonderful yet incredibly naive man, thought that he could end Likud's corruption and political shift to the left from within by winning more votes from the people. Charming, yes, but totally unrealistic when the powers that be who make the rules and enforce the rules have no intention of letting that happen.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Breaking News: Feiglin has called for revolution. Hard not to love this guy!

Bibi is a tremendous orator and he's good in English. Those are about the only things he's got going for him (oh, and the fact that more than half the country supports him these days). But he will come down to Earth as have Sharon, Dan Hulutz, Omri Sharon, and others.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen "Yesh Din V'yesh Dayan"? (There's Judgment and There's a Judge) It's about Sharon and his aids all of whom have lost power, money and prestige since Disengagement from Gush Katif.
Ha'kol be'yedei shamayim!
Shabbat shalom!
Bibi will rise and fall and rise and fall...all the corrupt filth take their turns in the rotation, but they are all two sides of the same coin, so who cares?
ReplyDeleteFeiglin is playing a game in which the rules are fixed against him winning. The only good to come from his crushing defeat is that he rejected appealing it to the courts on the grounds that he rejects the legitimacy of the courts themselves.
Wow...an honest, principled man in Israeli politics. If anything, Bibi may have made him more popular than ever with his obvious sham to force him out.
Bibi looks terrified of Feiglin, while Feiglin looks like a rock.
must read.
ReplyDeleteBenyamin Netanyahu on the left?
ReplyDeleteMZ: Feiglin really does look poised and in control. The Supreme Court has absolutely no legitimacy and even if he attempted appealing Bibi's unilateral decision he would be dealt another blow, this time from the corrupt Judicial system.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely on Bibi. He's not much (if at all) better than Olmert or Livni. I'd actually prefer Shaul Mofaz to Bibi as P.M. The former has balls.
Yes, Ren, by our standards Bibi is a liberal. I'm sure you'd like to see a Hadash M.K. like Tibi in office but hopefully G-d has other plans...
I like that Feiglin has rejected the Israeli courts...the question I have is why does he stay in bed with the Likud? They are as bad as the Court.
