Likud Rivalry Coming to a Head: New Primaries Imminent?; A Feiglin Surprise?

Likud Rivalry Coming to a Head as Shalom Plans Putsch

Excerpts;

“It’s inconceivable that the entire Likud leadership has left since Bibi came,” Shalom told Haaretz, and went on to name Dan Meridor, Yitzhak Mordechai, Roni Milo, David Magen, Avigdor Lieberman and Ariel Sharon.

“You have to ask why. His conduct is the problem; everyone left because of him.”

Comments;

Outrageous comments from Silvan Shalom worthy of infancy. Why does he lump in Yitzchak Mordechai, who resigned from politics over alleged harrassment charges? Avigdor Lieberman’s leaving Likud had nothing to do with Bibi, he left to form Yisrael Beitenu to contest with Yisrael B’Aliya. And funny, this author thought Arik Sharon is comotose after the second of two strokes and in capable of anything. Further, Sharon left Likud to form Kadima, not because of Bibi, but because of the Likud Rebels. As anyone will remember, Bibi voted for the expulsion right down the line, only opposing it in the end.

Silvan Shalom is either 6 days late with April fools, or he apparently believes that Israelis must either be illiterate, stupid, mind-numbed or brain-dead. His revisions of recent history are an outrage beyond description.

And if new Likud Primaries are in the offing, it would seem that thanks to the reforms which Bibi brought to the Party, the party leader would be elected by Likud voters. If that is the case, look for a strong showing … by Moshe Feiglin. MB
