I wonder what the Racoon has to say about the current joke making rounds in Israel, according to the Dry Bones:
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the Tel Aviv/Jerusalem highway.
Nothing is moving in either direction. Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened, what's the hold up?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped Prime Minister Olmert, Defense Minister Peretz, and their chief of staff. They are asking for a $100 million ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection."
The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone giving?"
"About a gallon."

LOL.. thats funny!!
but yea, would love to know what raccoon thinks bout it?
Heh. My official reaction:
I'd donate most of the fueltank :)
And yes, the current government is probably the most hated and distrusted ever in Israel. As a popular grafitti in Israel says:
Sharon, make up, Olmert's in a coma!
Welcome in my home, Racoon! I see that you really don't like these guys! Who would you prefer to run Israel?
From the current crop of incompetent, spineless morons pretending to be leaders?
No one.
If I could force these cretins to stop squabbling for a few minutes AND had no choice but to pick from the current selection, I'd go for Liberman as PM, Bibi as finance minister/Knesset Spokesperson and Peres as president, with an experienced hawkish general as Defense Minister. But other people would be needed to make sure Liberman's fascist tendencies do not manifest, and some sort of a system to make sure Bibi the Snake doesn't lie and/or steal too much.
If I could make a selection of previous leaders, though, I'd have a Sharon/Rabbin/Shamir government.
We're pretty much fucked, leaders-wised, though.
Thanks for the welcome, BTW...
And do you take such keen interest in Israel's internal politics? :)
Thnaks for the inside info Racoon.
Not so much. I usually follow the goings on especially Israeli-Palestinian issues! Who does not, anyway.
Yeah, it's a bit of an international hobby, isn't it? :)
Sure it is! It is one subject that puts you above others in discussions. A long time ago people were considered intellectuals if you can quote Hemmingway and Bernard Shaw. Now, knowing what is going on between Israel and Palestine is top. ;)
