Eldad is right. There is only one way to evade this trap. But, regretfully Moshe Feiglin is NOT the head of Likud and there is NO OTHER LEADER capable of bucking the collective Israeli MK syndrome of
“glue on the seat” lack of principle, lack of profile in courage.
It is left for us, the people. The “Ukrainian Model” of 24/7 and bringing Israel to a screeching halt at all levels. This is the only thing which will compel both the toppling of Ehud Olmert’s “protexia class” governing crowd and drastic changes in the methods and mechanics of governance in Israel. MB
The Trap, by Prof. MK Arieh Eldad (Israel National News)
“There’s only one escape from this trap: immediately toppling the Olmert government and holding new elections. Only someone who leads such a move can then claim the mantle of leadership in Israel.”
Excerpts;
Three bankrupts have gathered to make a deal. One has nothing to sell, one has nothing to pay with, and the middleman ostensibly charged with executing the deal is about to lose his job and has less and less power. A deal like this, which is all deceit and illusion, is usually a matter for a newspaper’s crime pages. One should let the police interrogate the participants in order to discover why the fraud is taking place: Maybe it is a sting operation, or maybe it is a decoy to divert attention from the participants’ real profits, which stem not from this impossible deal, but rather from other, no less corrupt sources.
According to opinion polls, over 70% of Israelis are strongly opposed to any additional unilateral concessions in Judea and Samaria. And so, Olmert is trying to wrap his unacceptable “convergence” or “disengagement” with a rag of a paper entitled “Agreement of Understanding.” Olmert is sure he can fool the people and he may well be right.
Our ears perceive the silence, and the silence is testimony: no one is rising to scream against the accord being formulated by the bankrupt three. The silence has enveloped the Likud, the National Union, Israel Beiteinu and non-parliamentary organizations. The entire nationalist and formerly nationalist camp sees how Olmert is walking Israel into this trap with open eyes, and yet they themselves are napping.
This is a trap, for the Israeli prime minister’s signature will bind the arms and legs of the country in the future. A real leader would be necessary in order to break free from this trap. Benjamin Netanyahu, silent as a stone and doing nothing to prevent these moves, is not such a leader. He gave Hebron to the Arabs when he could have shaken free from the Oslo Accords, given that the Arabs had violated the terms of those accords. By his silence today, he also loses the moral authority to oppose this plan tomorrow.
And the same goes for Avigdor Lieberman, who is serving as a member of the government and allowing the corrupt and failing prime minister to continue unimpeded with his tricks. Lieberman will be a full partner to this crime even should he quit the government on the eve of the signing of an accord, just as Netanyahu was partner to the crime of the disengagement from Gaza though he quit when it was already too late.
There’s only one escape from this trap: immediately toppling the Olmert government and holding new elections. Only someone who leads such a move can then claim the mantle of leadership in Israel.
