Apparently now, there is two-fold panic in Likud. One is either real or feigned fear of Sharon’s “Kadima (sic)” and the other is that of the corrupt “old boys” who are petrified that Moshe Feiglin may win the Primary, lead Likud to a Jewish Leadership victory in the March National Elections and crumble some patronage empires in the process.

There are tens of thousands of Jews sitting on the fence waiting to see the results of the Likud Primary vote. A Feiglin victory in Likud will thrust him into the National Elections with a victory and the Prime Ministership a real possibility.
Feiglin:”Throwing Out Candidates You Don’t Like is Democratic?”
Excerpts:
“Two Likudniks have submitted a party court petition, demanding that Moshe Feiglin be barred from running for leader. Currently running third in the 4-man race, Feiglin says the move is undemocratic.”
“Their petition states that Feiglin encouraged refusal of army orders during the Disengagement – an alleged negation of the Likud platform’s mention of the supremacy of the rule of law. They also quote Feiglin’s recent interview with the Yediot Acharonot weekly supplement ‘Seven Days.’ Feiglin reportedly said there that his vision is one of a State that encourages the emigration of Arabs from the country, and the construction of the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple).”
Only 5 days to go to the Likud Primary. Look for things to get really interesting. MB
