No honor among crooks
Israel National News reports that with the expulsion activities of Ariel Sharon now having been committed, the Labor and Meretz parties are willing to topple him.
But one sure thing, it most certainly does show that Sharon has lost support not only with his own party, and with the right, but also with the left as well, assuming he ever had their support to begin with.
Ariel Sharon is now targeted from every angle. His enemies within the Likud vow to topple him, and some voices in Labor as well are saying that the end of the disengagement means the end of the alliance with Sharon.This really isn't surprising, if at all. To think that these lefty politicians in Israel would really be willing to literally back someone like Sharon would be quite exaggerated. They did not respect him before, why should they now?
Labor MK Eitan Cabel says that the time has come to quit the government. The only MK in the party who did not vie for a Cabinet position when Labor joined the government several months ago, Cabel now serves as the party's secretary-general. He says that since the purpose of joining the government was to pave the way for the abandonment of Gaza, there is no further need to prop up Sharon. "The Labor ministers must quit the Cabinet," he feels, "such that Labor can present an alternative to Sharon and work to advance the elections."
