Recent events in Israel

Well, seems like Habonim has made me look foolish again. Here we gave them a state, let them elect their own government, and what do we get? Yet another little noisy, antisemitic neighbor. The ironic thing is that the anti-Israel party (Hamas, for all of you living in caves) wasn't put in by the recent coup, it was elected - it used the coup to take control because the West was trying to put Fatah in power because Fatah was corrupt and easy to manipulate. I don't know how I'm going to face Josh Krisch, because he loves to tease me endlessly about belonging to an organization that is willing to give the Arabs so many second chances, even though I've stopped agreeing with Habonim on many different issues.

Enough on that. If you're interested in learning more about the coup Robert Fisk, who is the middle east adviser for The Independent newspaper, wrote an (as usual) excellent editorial about the situation, which can be found here.

Oh and I know I haven't posted in forever - soon I'll probably make a big one about some stuff that's happened recently. Thanks for your patience, you few who care.

Marantz out.
