Quote of the Day

We have to put out a clear statement and tell everyone - we have to dismantle this concept called the "Gush Emuni" (the faith bloc). I, as a Likudnik, do not want my vote going to Shas and I do not want to bring Goldknopf into the Knesset and government. Ergo, I am calling upon the Prime Minister to dismantle this bloc now, not to succumb to their threats. We need to be the ones who dismantle it.

  -- MK Dan ilouz (Likud)

not sure how he expects the Likud to be able to form a coalition if he thinks the Likud should work against some of its national partners. Whatever you might think about those partners, the Likud needs them at this point... Netanyahu created this fiction of blocs back when we were in a series of re-elections and it has worked well for him, and he should be the one to dismantle it rather than be dragged around by others, but right now he cannot as he has no other options... maybe that is something he should deal with, but util he does, his bloc is his only option...
