This initiative is just too funny. The news is reporting that there is an initiative among the "Center" and "Left" of politics to, assuming they don't form a bloc together, at least campaign with a unified message of anybody but Netanyahu and committing to not sit in a theoretical future Netanyahu government.

Fair enough. What's funny about it is that if you actually read the articles you'll discover that the initiative was initiated by Meretz while Livni and Lapid have yet to announce any position on the matter. Yitzchak Hezog, head of Labor, even refused to say he wouldn't sit with Netanyahu.

So, 1 party that won't sit with Netanyahu anyway, except perhaps in a situation of national emergency government, has a brilliant campaign plan of announcing that they won't sit with Netanyahu. I think they should also get the Arab parties to join as well. That might really make the campaign a smashing success.
