Barak Insults His Betters
New definition of chutzpa in 5, 4, 3...:
Barak said that "the Sharon family is corrupt to the core." In any developed country, he said, Sharon would be dismissed from his position following the accumulation of affairs connected to him and his family.
He also criticized the Labor party for not fighting against Sharon's concessions to the Palestinians. This is Ehud Barak, criticizing a Prime Minister for campaign finance irregularities and caving into Palestinian demands. It's good to see he's regained his political instincts. And Barak should have the decency to get out of the way of peacemakers willing to stand on their principles:
"Jerusalem will remain united as the eternal capital of the Jewish people. It will not be divided," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon pledged on Monday at the conclusion of a meeting with President Moshe Katsav.
That's more than Barak was willing to do. Much, much more.
